History of USPS uniforms
The post office uniforms is an American icon and has been for more than two hundred years. And while the clothing has changed, the dedicated and efficient service of USPS employees has remained the same – something we are all thankful for.
It was not until 1868 that the United States Congress passed legistation authorizing postal employees to wear uniforms. Then, it was nearly 90 years before women’s wear was developed – and this was the same design as men’s, but the women wore a skirt instead of pants! The postal uniform has come a long way since then, with many items and styles from which to chose. Here are a few favorite brands:
* Flying Cross
* Thorogood
* New Balance
* Rocky
* Converse
Many online and authorized USPS uniforms retailers sell these brands and uniform items to USPS employees. You can use your Postal Allowance Credit Card or a personal credit card (just make sure to have your Postal Allowance Credit Card nearby since you will be required to enter that information as well) for easy and efficient shopping from the comfort of your own home. If you are looking for postal uniform items, shopping online may work for you.
