BRUNT Workwear Introduces the USA Marin Welted Work Boot

BRUNT Workwear, the fast-growing workwear brand known for its innovative and durable boots and apparel, today introduces the USA Marin Welted - BRUNT's first ever work boot Built in the USA. The USA Marin Welted is assembled in San Antonio, Texas with domestic and global components from best-in-class suppliers around the world, including waterproof leathers sourced from American cattle. The durable Goodyear welt construction and BRUNT's signature comfort system make the USA Marin Welted a great option for trade workers on the most demanding job sites who value Built in the USA products.

"Ever since the launch of BRUNT, our team has been working towards including Built in the USA products in our assortment," said Eric Girouard, founder and CEO at BRUNT Workwear. "We've finally taken an important first step with the launch of the USA Marin Welted. We'll also be adding additional Built in the USA work boots to our product line starting next year, and remain committed to bringing the right mix of products to the hard working men and women across the country who get up and grind every day to build this country."

In addition to its heavy-duty welted construction that provides enhanced stability on the job, the USA Marin Welted comes equipped with a fully waterproof build, soft and nano composite safety toe options, and an innovative slip, oil, and high heat-resistant outsole that protects up to 572º F.

BRUNT's best-selling Marin product line is named after Matt Marin - a union drywall superintendent and childhood friend of founder and CEO, Eric Girouard. Based on Matt's experience and BRUNT's expertise, together they created a boot that is affordable, comfortable, and equipped with the features trade workers need to be safe and compliant at work.

The USA Marin Welted is available on BRUNT's website beginning today - and launches in a classic dark brown colorway, with additional limited-edition and in-line colors to follow.

• The USA Marin Welted Soft Toe Version will be available in sizes 7-16 for $259.00

Wolverine and Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Unveil Batch IV Of Their Collaboration 1000 Mile Boot

Elevating the art of craftsmanship to new heights, Wolverine®, the 141-year-old boot and clothing company, has once again joined forces with Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery just in time for Bourbon Heritage Month. Through their mutual dedication to superior quality, these two brands proudly unveil Batch IV of their Wolverine 1000 Mile x Old Rip Van Winkle Boot.

Inspired by the caramel and wood notes of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year bourbon, the Batch IV boot was built on the silhouette of Wolverine's iconic 1000 Mile. First introduced in 1914, the 1000 Mile provides the perfect canvas for the continued partnership of Wolverine and Old Rip as they pour their distinct blend of heritage, craftmanship and quality into each product iteration.

"Working with the team at Old Rip continues to be a highlight of our year," stated Lauren King, Senior Director of Marketing at Wolverine Boots. "We constantly inspire each other through our unique, yet shared, brand ethos and design. Each pair of boots we've launched together has created a new take on our heritage product, drummed up energizing ways to connect to our audiences, and ignited enduring consumer demand. Batch IV is no different."

Tailored for the ultimate bourbon enthusiast, the Wolverine 1000 Mile x Old Rip Van Winkle Batch IV Boot is designed to age gracefully, much like the fine bourbon at Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. Each pair of these limited-edition boots features all the timeless 1000 Mile qualities:

• Lux leather uppers in a rich hue inspired by the full-bodied flavor profile of Old Rip Van Winkle 10-year.
• Built from the iconic 1000 Mile silhouette and finished with the added comfort, support, and style of a wedge sole.
• Uniquely labeled with hand-numbered Old Rip Van Winkle woven label on the tongue.
• Designed in Michigan and handcrafted in Arkansas, supporting American workers and manufacturing.

Combining their shared passion for supporting the hard-working hands behind handcrafted, a portion of proceeds from each pair of Wolverine x Old Rip Van Winkle Batch IV boots sold will be donated to SkillsUSA, the number one workforce development organization for students.

"It's always a pleasure working with the Wolverine Team," stated Preston Van Winkle, member of the Van Winkle Bourbon Family. "Wolverine is a brand that truly embodies our shared passion of quality craftsmanship behind the creation of every boot, much like the dedication we pour into our bourbon. This collaboration not only celebrates our mutual dedication to quality, but also underscores our joint support for continuing to champion America's workforce."

ABOUT OLD RIP VAN WINKLE
The Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery has a four-generation history, starting in the late 1800s with Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle Sr., and continuing today with Julian III and Preston Van Winkle. From its early roots as the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in South Louisville to the selling of the Distillery in 1972 while resurrecting the Old Rip Van Winkle label at the same time, and following with new, original expressions in the early 1980s, the Van Winkle story has been one of perseverance and survival.

Popilush Launches the Redtag Collection with Body-Warming Technology

Popilush, a pioneer in shapewear apparel, is thrilled to unveil the Redtag Collection, an innovation that seamlessly blends warmth, sustainability, and modern design. This collection features a unique line of body-shaping garments designed with recycled coffee ground fibers. By combining advanced technology with eco-friendly materials, the RedTag collection offers comfort and style while delivering enhanced protection against the cold.

 

The secret of the Redtag Collection lies in its WARM-TECH technology, an eco-conscious innovation that uses coffee charcoal-infused fibers to absorb far-infrared rays, generating a warming effect that interacts with the body's cells. This creates a lightweight fabric with exceptional thermal performance, natural antimicrobial properties to reduce odor and maintain lasting freshness, and a soft, skin-friendly texture. With up to 48% elastic yarn, the fabric also offers excellent tensile strength, making it perfect for body-shaping garments. The Redtag Collection not only ensures warmth and comfort but also provides a tailored fit that accentuates the body's natural shape, delivering all-day coziness without compromising on style.

Designed for cold winter days, the RedTag Collection's fabric features innovative temperature-locking technology that effectively traps heat, creating a stylish barrier against the winter chill. Despite its added warmth, the fabric remains breathable and flexible, allowing for unrestricted movement, while its anti-static properties ensure a smoother, more comfortable wearing experience.

Debuting with a versatile range of garments, including a Mock Neck Midi Dress, a Sweetheart Mini Dress, and a Tummy Control Bodysuit, the Redtag Collection is available in a sophisticated palette of black, dark red, beige, and dark brown or caramel color. On a snowy winter's day, the dark red bodysuit can be paired with jeans, boots, and a jacket, creating a striking contrast against the winter landscape. Alternatively, the dark brown or caramel color bodysuit can be matched with wide-legged trousers and a blazer, providing inner warmth and support for the working woman during the colder months.

The Redtag collection is now available at Popilush.com.
