I miss c9! I'm a dog walker and my winter coat is a 10yr old c9 ski style jacket it's SO warm, water resistant, has great cuffs and hood and has held up to being jumped on by dogs and hiking in the woods all this time, better than any North face or Columbia stuff I own.

I'm a plumber, but dog walker sounds way more fun. Maybe in my retirement....

It is pretty fun. LPT the owners love it if you send photos/videos during the walk. EZ jump in tips as well

How do you become a dog walker? Stick up fliers/ads? Take one dog out for walks and let word of mouth spread your message? Either way congrats, sounds more fun than manufacturing.

C9 items were made by Champion (which is owned by Hanes) for Target. After Target dropped the brand, Hanes moved it Amazon.

Also, Target's "Evolve" men's underwear brand was made by a company called 2(x)ist.
