" As you may know, we&amp;#039;re big proponents of the Post Office, in spite of its rattling death cough. But even we were surprised by the agency&amp;#039;s move to launch a clothing line. Mind you, this isn&amp;#039;t just a wide release of the standard uniforms that these fine public servants wear during their daily grind (well, daily other than weekends). No, not a bid to satiate the general population&amp;#039;s voracious desire to look just like their local mail-person. Instead, the USPS is spinning this as a standalone lifestyle brand called &amp;quot;Rain Heat &amp;amp;amp; Snow,&amp;quot; offering both clothing and accessories for men and set for a spring 2014 debut. The line will fuse tech-y bells and whistles (e.g. a jacket that will sync with your MP3 player) and weather-resistant pieces. But the question remains: Can the Post Office shake its frumpy image (think Newman from Seinfeld) and appeal to, well, fashion people? Only time will tell. But if we could impart any advice, it would be for the designers to take some inspiration from the uniforms of yore we found at The British Postal Museum and Archive. Our vote? Bring back the red frock-coats and top hats.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
