Did Roy Rogers wear Wrangler Jeans?

Sure he did, Wrangler’s have always been the rugged jean of choice for cowboys, dating back to 1919 when the Blue Bell Overall Factory built it’s first factory in North Carolina

Wrangler Jeans were first made by Blue Bell, who acquired the the rarely used Wrangler brand name when they took over the Casey Jones Work-Clothes Company in the mid-1940s. Blue Bell employed a polish taylor ('Rodeo Ben') who worked closely with cowboys, to help design jeans suitable for rodeo use. This was the origin of Wrangler Jeans, a brand synonymous with the name for a working cowboy.

These quality jeans are available at bigredworkwear.com.  Our Wrangler Hero Five Star Relaxed Fit Jean is always discounted 50%,  and you can pick them up today for only $22.50 a pair.

Discount Red Kap Half Aprons

50’s Diners, Pepsi's in bottles, 5 cent candy bars, soda jerks with half aprons.  This is the way it used to be.  But wait, not everything has changed, some things stay the same, and in this age of "disposable" everything, it's nice to know that occasionally things are still the way they used to be.

Take this apron for instance.  Big Red Workwear offers the same style apron from the diner era, and the price is as low as it was from the diner era as well.  $2.90 for this quality bar apron, now that's unheard of in today's economy.  

It comes in a blend of polyester and cotton for durability, a nice weight of 7 oz. poplin, and it works for both home and commercial use.  We offer an entire line of  restaurant  apparel at Big Red Workwear, always a great value at a great price from a Company you can depend on.

Gas Saving Tips

Drive Sensibly

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

Fuel Economy Benefit:	5–33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings:	$0.19–$1.28/gallon

Observe the Speed Limit

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.
You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.31 per gallon for gas.
Observing the speed limit is also safer.

Fuel Economy Benefit:	7–23%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings:	$0.27–$0.89/gallon

Remove Excess Weight

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

Fuel Economy Benefit:	1–2%/100 lbs
Equivalent Gasoline Savings:	$0.04–$0.08/gallon

Avoid Excessive Idling

Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Turn off your engine when your vehicle is parked. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart your vehicle. Turning your engine on and off excessively, however, may increase starter wear.

Fuel Cost Savings:	$0.01–$0.03/min. (AC off)
	$0.02–$0.04/min. (AC on)

Use Cruise Control

Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.

Use Overdrive Gears

When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.
