What makes a PATRIOT a PATRIOT?
By Definition, uniform means "everything the
same." How can we innovate, set new standards or introduce
new ideas in anything as standardized as a military uniform?
After all, don't all uniforms, regardless of manufacture, look
alike?
Not if you look closely.
In a PATRIOT uniform, for example,
you'll find countless tiny innovations and improvements. Since
the company was founded in 1917, we've sought ways to improve
our uniforms within the standards prescribed by the military services.
Take the cut of the uniform, for example. The services
provide us with patterns for many of the uniforms we make. But
we don't just follow those patterns: we study each one and take
full advantage of the leeway we're allowed to alter them. (In
fact, we keep a full-time designer on staff, aided by a computer,
to do just that.) The result is the improved fit and more comfortable
feel which cause military people, like you, to prefer a PATRIOT
uniform.
Over the years, Weintraub has pioneered many features
found in today's PATRIOT brand (and sometimes imitated
by our competition) which are designed not only to make you look
your best but to help your clothing dollar go as far as possible.
Many PATRIOT uniforms are made with
bound buttonholes and double-lined pockets to keep your uniform
serviceable longer. And quilted jacket linings and lined trousers
give your uniform a better fit --- and help it keep its shape
through repeated dry cleanings.
At a glance, our uniforms may look the same. But
a close look at any PATRIOT uniform from the rack
in your Exchange will tell you that we're not the same as other
uniforms.
And we're continually improving.
We're now fully operational in a modern, new, one-level
facility. It's designed specifically for the manufacture, warehousing,
and shipment of clothing. We're in the process of installing
state-of-the-art cutting equipment that will make our uniforms
even more accurate in fit, sizing, and detail. And our skilled
designers continue to look for new ways to make PATRIOT
uniforms a better choice for you ---- including new garments and
new features for our existing uniforms.
What makes a PATRIOT a PATRIOT?
Our commitment to continually exceed our own standards --- and
to give you a uniform worthy of the name.
