We just got in another big shipment of Dockers, Levi's jeans, and Levi's Action Slacks.

11/11/08 - Today we got in a shipment from Greystone. This includes various items such as jersey sweatpants, all-elastic waist twill pants, jeans, hoodies, and jackets, in sizes 2X to 10X.

11/10/08 - We got in another shipment of Falcon Bay shirts, but these are from the After Dark line. These are nice fancy blue patterned shirts that would be good for clubbing, or something fancy like that.
That was a nerve-racking game, but a win is a win. Bulldogs back in the top10 !!

11/07/08 - We just got in two big boxes full of Levi's jeans, in style numbers 550 relaxed fit and 560 comfort fit.

11/06/08 - Congratulations to Kennestone Heart Physician's Group www.kennestoneheart.com!! Kennestone Heart was one of only five medical practices in Georgia to recently receive a Health Technology Award presented by the Physicians' Institute of the Medical Association of Georgia for Excellence in Medicine. Great job!!

11/05/08 - We just got in a shipment of really nice new shirts from Falcon Bay. They are half plaids and half stripes in a nice Fall burgandy color. The sizes run XLTall to 6X Tall and 2X big to 4X big.

11/04/08 - I voted -- did you? I got up at 7:00am and went to my polling location, and the line was about 100 people deep. I waited for 15 minutes and moved about 5 people along. I did the math, so I had to leave. I went home to get ready for work, and then went back on my way in to work. I guess they had worked out the delays, and I only had to wait about 10 minutes to cast my vote! So, it's official, and I am crossing my fingers that my candidates will end up victorious!!
Congratulations to John T. Sherrer, R.Ph., who was elected to the 2008-2009 Executive Committee of the National Community Pharmacists Association www.ncpanet.org. NCPA's Executive Committee represents community pharmacists nationwide. John is a community and independent pharmacy owner working primarily out of Kenmar Pharmacy www.kenmarpharmacy.com in Marietta, and he is also a customer. Congrats!!

11/03/08 - The latest sale notice was posted here. Did you see it? If not, email me at Leitersbigtall@aol.com to get on the list!

OK, the UGA/FLA game was more painful. UGA did not look like a pre-season #1 at all. But still, UGA has only been beaten by two teams now in the top five. The newest BCS has UGA at 13, which might be about right. If they can (and should) win out the rest of their games, they could still finish in the top 10. But, no SEC championship game...

11/01/08 - I'm a member of the Gator-Hater Club -- are you?? LET'S GO DAWGS!! This is a BIG one!!
A Big Thank You for your business goes to The Walker School Booster Club www.thewalkerschool.org!!

10/31/08 - I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! Let's all be careful and watch our speed when driving. Watch out for the little witches and goblins in masks near the road.

10/30/08 - Last night, we (and when I say we, I mean my wife -- I just showed up) helped to host a Reception together with The Atlanta Opera Honoring Grammy Award-Winning Opera Singer and Marietta Native Jennifer Larmore. I great time was had by all, and big thanks go to all of the other co-hosts!! For more info, check out www.atlantaopera.org.

This is devoted mostly to casual clothing, or Company Casuals. There is a large variety of different items available, and my target customer is if someone wants casual uniforms for their office, this site has lots of great choices. Check it out and let me know what you think!! http://www.leitersuniforms.com
GO DAWGS!! It's the Battle in the Bayou!!

10/24/08 - Now is the time to start thinking about Halloween costumes. We get a lot of people every year come in to make their idea for a costume work. We have a large variety of items in stock in regular and big and tall sizes, and some of the more popular costumes requests we get are doctors, nurses, and chefs. If you have a Halloween costume idea revolving around needing some type of specialized clothing, come in and see us -- I bet we can help you out!!

10/23/08 - I just got in a very large shipment of sweat shirts and sweat pants, the same styles listed here on this website http://www.realpagessites.com/leitersbigandtall/sweatsuits/. It is getting colder -- time to stay warm!!

10/22/08 - I have spent most of today working on one minor (very minor) change to this website, and also working on my third Uniforms website. Everything should be ready by the end of this week, and I'll post the updates and changes here first!!

10/18/08 - Good, the Dawgs took care of Vandy. Knowshon ran pretty good and Blair Walsh redeemed himself with the kick at the end of the game. Next week -- looks tough!

10/17/08 - It's the Christians vs the Mormons!!
Is it just me or is the Thursday night College Football game always the most exciting? Last night, Texas Christian www.tcu.edu beat previously undefeated BYU www.byu.edu. I would like to say that UGA can move up, but that hasn't happened yet! Now UGA needs to show Vandy www.vanderbilt.edu what real SEC football is like!!

10/16/08 - If you live in State District 38, on election day November 4, please consider voting for Steve "Thunder" Tumlin for State Representative. Thunder is a Marietta native, very smart, very nice, and is also a customer! For more information, check out http://www.stevetumlin.org/.

10/15/08 - I am working on yet a third website for our store. This site will be geared more towards "Company Casuals" which is like casual uniforms for an office environment. If and when it is up and running, I'll post it here first!!

10/13/08 - Three of the top four teams lose, and UGA doesn't move? OK....

10/12/08 - We will be open tomorrow for the Columbus Day "Holiday", so if you are off work, come on by!!
And how about the Atlanta Falcon, winning with one second left!! Jason Elam redeemed himself!!

10/11/08 - The Dawgs got it done!! They got an important SEC victory!! Looks like a lot of shakeup going on in the Top Ten. Let's see where the Dawgs move up to!!

10/10/08 - We got in a shipment of long sleeve T-shirts. Stay casual and warm!!
Back in the saddle again with the Dawgs... It was kind of nice to have the bye week to get over the hangover loss to BamBam. Let's gear it back up to beat Orange!! GO DAWGS!!

10/09/08 - We got in some nice reversible camo jackets. There are three different camo prints in nylon on one side, and black fleece on the other. Hunting season is here!!

10/08/08 - I really don't watch a lot of TV, but I have started watching one new show that might be worth checking out. Sons of Anarchy http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/soa/ is on the FX Network Wednesdays at 10pm. It has been described as The Sopranos on motorcycles. It follows a group of bikers in California. I would give it 8 out of 10 stars.

10/06/08 - We got in a shipment of one piece strap leather belts that are a new design for us. It is kind of hard to explain here, but if you think about the holes in a belt, there are now two side by side, and the holes run up the length of the entire belt. They are really nice looking in black or brown.

10/05/08 - Have you been to Marietta Pizza Company www.mariettapizza.com on the Marietta Square? I highly recommend it!! Friday night I had a salad with the best creamy Italian dressing I have ever had. Then I had a very large slice of pizza with pepperoni, real mushrooms (not the processed canned type), and fried chicken as my toppings!! Wash it down with a cold Bud, and I will rate it a strong 9 out of 10 stars!! Marietta Pizza Company is also very reasonably priced, as six of us ate and the bill was only $53ish dollars. Check it out!!

10/03/08 - We just received a shipment of Moleskin shirts. We have carried the Moleskin henley shirts for a few years, and they have been big sellers. This year, we got in more henleys, but also some long sleeve golf shirts and some really nice two pocket with flaps button up shirts in Moleskin. These shirts kind of remind me of outdoorsy type shirts good for camping or hunting. Moleskin is a really nice, really soft no-iron fabric that you need to feel to believe!! Come on in and check them out!!
I also have an idea for a double outing for you. Do you like spicy hot dogs? Come by here around lunchtime during the week and then you can head on down to Brandi's World Famous Hot Dogs. It is about a quarter of a mile down the street from us and it is kind of a local treasure here in Marietta. It used to be Betty's World Famous Hot Dogs, but Betty retired and Brandi bought it out, and as she said, "The only thing that will change is the name." I had a chili cheese dog and fries for lunch yesterday, and I will give it a solid 10 out of 10 stars!! The chili has the spicy kick that will sometimes kick you out of your chair!! I highly recommend Brani's. They also serve hamburgers, onion rings, and chips, and of course, slaw is available for a topping. For more information, call 770-422-3681.
