Postal Service's new survival plan includes a designer clothing line

2/20/2013

As you might have noticed, the U.S. Postal Service isn't doing so hot. Deep in debt, the mail jockeys have cut Saturday deliveries, raised rates and done just about everything possible to try to stave off extinction. Including getting into the clothing business. In an effort to boost revenues, the USPS has announced it's launching a clothing line in 2014. Soon you can work it in all-weather gear from the new "Rain Heat & Snow" label. The USPS recently signed a licensing deal with Wahconah Group, Inc. to produce a menswear line (women's apparel will be added in the future) that would be sold in department and specialty stores, but, alas, not at post offices.
