WTF manufacture sewn products in the USA with Berry & IR/IRR/NIR compliant, USA made, solution dyed, milspec textiles while referencing ASTM D6193-16, FED-STD-751, CO-PD-02-02N, FAA-H-8083-17A, AC 43.13-1B, Poynter's The Parachute Manual Volumes I & II, and similar where applicable.
"What the Funk & Wagnalls is solution dyed all about?" Spectral reflectance (NIR compliance) abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and consistent shade matching from fabric to fabric. Solution dyed nylon yarn is extruded with the coloring already mixed in rather than colored after the fact. This means the color is through and through. If the yarn is abraded, it will not frost or appear white. As the color is through and through the yarn, an abrasion reveals more of the same color.
The opposite, so to speak, would be piece dyeing where colorless yarn is dyed after extrusion. The shade of piece dye lots can vary wildly from run to run and mill to mill. When multiple fabric mills all use the same INVISTA CORDURA® TRUELOCK™ yarn, the finished woven and knitted fabrics match very, very well.
Whiskey Two Four is an ever evolving result of a lifetime of conceiving, designing, manufacturing, marketing, selling, transporting, and destroying products in fields from consumer products to defense to finishing and some remarkably obscure stuff in between. We've had our share of frustration with starting out and we're working to assist others who wish to produce a result. Gear sales are financial propellant to fuel our partnerships with other manufacturers and entrepreneurs.
We've been sewing parts for more than 30 years with 16 of those years as WTF. Over the decades and tens of thousands of orders fulfilled and hundreds of thousands of good parts delivered, 99%+ of customers have been happy. Below are a collection of links to posts about WTF. They're mostly good. We've also ruffled a few feathers over the years.
Remember: If you read it on the internet, it must be true.
