They have President Donald Trumpās 2017 tax overhaul law to thank.
Yep,Trumpian development that screws the community itās located in, depends on loopholes for profits, ropes in outside investors to float the marginal margins, and is ultimately a large billboard for one manās vanity.

If there were bullet proof Jockey shorts then Scott Pruitt would have bought them with his tactical pants and polos.

You havenāt missed anything. Overpriced shit, mostly. But then that defines a lot of stuff in the āsports apparelā world.

That isnāt the mapping error referred to in the story. Best to read the whole thing, but in a nutshell, the Treasury department used misaligned maps so thatās how it Covington wound up making the cut.

About a year ago I became aware of the company. Brand names are meaningless to me. Never bought them.

Sounds like Governor Larry Hogan is typical of all republican office holders, a little on the shady side.
Wonder what kind of cut the governor gets out of this blatant graft.
On one hand, I sincerely miss the times when I could mock (AP) @squirreltown
On the other, itās great to see pro publica articles popping up from time to time because I feel they are the best reporters and writing in journalism today.

My son got me into wearing UA. Iād worn polyester polos before and hated them precisely because they were hydrophobic and didnāt wick sweat away ā they left it on you. Breathability was hit-and-miss. Iād long since given up on polyester and wore cotton. According to him, UA had a unique product for a while, until other makers figured out (a) there is a market for that stuff, and (b) how to make a hydrophilic polyester and weave the yarn loosely enough to be breathable but tightly enough to be durable. Then they were making it, too.

Iām fairly sure Patagonia, inter alia, had this stuff figured out some time before UA. Iāve worn their (Patagoniaās) base layers and some outer pieces for twenty years or so, ice climbing, and generally fooling around outdoors in all weathers, but especially cold, and have rarely been clammy cold from sweat build-up. Fifty years ago, hunting in early winters in Vermont wearing cotton āthermal weaveā long johns I found out how useless that material can be if you work up any steam.

For sure, Patagonia (and North Face, and probably Columbia) had the cold side of the equation figured out. Iāve got a couple of North Face long-sleeve tees that are at least 15 years old. They are perfect outdoor base layers for the winter, and theyāve worn like iron. Under Armour made their chops on the warm side. I suspect Plankās genius was figuring out that those fabrics were useful in hot conditions (with lighter fabric weights).
Iāve got some UA workout shirts that I wear as base layers in winter because in an office environment they work well ā better than specific base layers intended for outdoors, in fact. I wouldnāt wear them outside in winter other than as a base layer, but under a Pendleton wool shirt they are perfect.
