Luckily, there are lots of ways to stay cool this summer – keeping the blinds & curtains... Summer is officially here and in the Pacific Northwest it is making itself known.

    OAKIWEAR’S NEWEST RAIN BOOTS HAVE ARRIVED!

    This week has been a big one for Oakiwear. On Tuesday we received our biggest shipment ever- a truckload of 26,000 rubber rain boots! Fitting since we are headquartered in the rainy Pacific Northwest right?! It was an all hands on deck day as we spent a solid 5 hours just unloading the truck.

    COOL TREATS FOR THE SUMMER & A PHOTO CONTEST

    As we’ve mentioned before, this summer has been one of the hottest on record here in the Pacific Northwest. Gone are the days when summer meant a pleasant 75 degrees. The new normal seems to be about 10 degrees warmer and with more frequent heat waves. Starting tomorrow the 10-day forecast has temps in the 90’s. Needless to say we are becoming experts at finding ways to stay cool. Did... As we’ve mentioned before, this summer has been one of the hottest on record here in the Pacific Northwest.

    SOAKING UP SUMMER

    We are enjoying the last few weeks of summer here in the Pacific Northwest. The heat has certainly died down and the cooler temps are making their way in. School has started for some and for others, there is still time to get a few last minute things together. While we love fall, summer is a hard season to say goodbye to. So, we have made a list of different... We are enjoying the last few weeks of summer here in the Pacific Northwest. The heat has certainly died down and the cooler temps are making their way in.
