2. a group or organization with common interests, aims, faith, etc., as a church

Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™
Dyneema® is a superstrong polyethylene fiber produced using a patented gel spinning process. This remarkable fiber is up to 15 times stronger than steel and, weight-for-weight, is 40% stronger than competing aramid fibers. It has high energy absorption and low elongation. Dyneema® floats on water, and is extremely resistant to abrasion, moisture, UV rays and chemicals. As a result, it has an almost unlimited range of applications, providing maximum strength and security for minimum weight.
DSM expands Dyneema® Production in Greenville, USA
Royal DSM N.V. today announces that it will invest to expand Dyneema® UD (UniDirectional
bullet resistant sheet) production by 25% in its Greenville, North Carolina (USA) manufacturing
facility.
Table idea for retail spots - cotton crates will sit on top.
Wood Cut and Sew tables (with wheels), have been used for years - it makes sending garments from one operator to the other much easier.
for example...

This is the LV idea jack move they did to me..
However they cant get my tubes, cause you only get the tubes when you knit. And nobody knits and handles the finishes product..
Good job Polo!
This is a circular knit terry cloth sweatshirt. You never see stuff like this. Its big in Europe but very rare over here. Its breathable and holds its shape great. But monkey see monkey do, = nobody makes it... So good job Ralph!
LV took my idea and made it better.
No great idea is original, for the fold I wanted to showcase the product in old cotton crates.. LV did it a little nicer.

Going To College
Early on, the company focused on the college market as a key demographic and it has been a successful effort.
A la Jimmy Buffet, Vineyard Vines has “college tours” that bring the VV lifestyle directly to college students on their campuses. Complete with beach parties and pink foam whale hats reminiscent of Buffet’s “land sharks” they are marketing the Vineyard Vines brand directly to a core consumer audience.
To say that Shep and Ian created and effective and inclusive grassroots marketing environment is an understatement; they knew exactly which demographic they were targeting and how to reach it.
Unfortunately, they might have been a little too successful in that particular market. In the eyes of some, the brand has become somewhat synonymous with beer chugging, rowdy preppy frat boys. While not an image problem per se, this reputation among college and immediate-post college consumers does somewhat degrade the brand’s image within part of its core market.
Unflattering subsets aside, this kind of legwork develops an enthusiastic customer base that sees their support of the brand as part of their own lifestyle. The company has a business unit dedicated to producing customized designs for colleges, their sport teams and fraternal organizations.
Whale heads
To keep these collegiate efforts coordinated and effective, it also has dedicated brand managers who focus solely on the university market; working with student leaders, administrators and sports teams. A key goal of course is that as these students grow up and head off to their own careers, a new supply of Vineyard Vines diehards are ready to open their wallets.
