SPIEWAK
For over 111 years, Spiewak has been known as a leader and innovator in outerwear design and construction. Their early beginnings were as a military contractor for World War I, producing wool coats, jackets and naval breeches for the military. Spiewak introduced its first police jackets in 1923, outfitting the New York State mounted troopers. Spiewak supported the troops in World War II by delivering more than one million units of flying suits, bomber jackets, peacoats and other specialized gear. After WWII, Spiewak opened up a huge new consumer market with streetwear fashioned after the bomber jackets and the snorkel parkas. In the uniform sector, Spiewak adapted its flight apparel to meet the needs of ground crews at American Airlines, and still produced their outerwear 50 years later. Spiewak continues to develop innovative outerwear, working with leaders like DuPont and 3M to perfect advanced insulations and other tech-enhanced outerwear components.
