Wrangler

I just got in some more Wrangler Rugged Wear pleated cotton pants in khaki, navy, & black. these are a good full cut with a nice long rise.

Enro Dress Shirts

I just got in another shipment of dress shirts from Enro. This shipment had some white, but the majority was blue stripe and burgundy stripe shirts. I don't get too many stripes in any more, so this gives me a better variety. I also got in something new -- a 24 neck from Enro!! I have never before got an Enro 24 neck dress shirt, but they sent the burgundy stripe in short sleeve and long sleeve. 24 neck is very hard to find, so if you need it, come and get it while I have it!

Dockers

I just got in one more small shipment of pleated cotton Dockers.

I'm Still Laughing

There's a OB/GYN next door to us, and it is just the male doctor and then an all female staff. Last night, a squirrel chewed a hole through his roof and landed in his office. This morning, they came over to ask for my help because the squirrel was still running around the office. The end result was that we opened the back door and directed the squirrel out there, but in the chasing time, the yells and shrieks and jumping on counters by the female staff was funnier and more entertaining than any sit-com could ever be!!

Levi's

I just got in another shipment of more Levi's.

Good Deal

OK, the election went well last night. A solid second place is good for heading to the run-off. Just don't forget to vote again on August 10.

Please Vote Today

Don't forget to vote today! I just voted before I came into work this morning. (Please see my previous post)

Governor of Georgia

I try not to put too much political talk on here, but my wife might kick me out of the house if I don't spread the word. In the Republican race for Governor of Georgia, Nathan Deal is running, and he is still consistently polling in the top 3. Nathan Deal is from Gainesville, GA, and so is my wife. Her family has been friends with the Deal family for decades. I also feel that Mr. Deal is the best and most qualified candidate running for Governor of Georgia, so I ask that you please consider Nathan Deal for your vote.

To Cuff or Not To Cuff

That is the question...

I have this conversation with customers all the time. When hemming pants, I almost always ask "Cuff or regular hem?" Some people, of course, know exactly what they want. But others frequently respond with "What do you think?" or "What is more stylish?" So, here are my thoughts:

We always have and still continue to do more regular hems than cuffs. Some people love cuffs, and some people hate cuffs. Some people consider cuffs to be a little dressier, therefore wanting them on dress pants, suit pants, or cotton pants that they are dressing up. I will tell people that if you don't care what type of hem you get, then just get a regular hem.

Now, here are my personal thoughts -- I don't like cuffs. They look like you rolled up your pants -- how does that look dressier? Cuffs were very big with the golfers a few years ago, but that didn't last very long once they found out that cuffs catch a lot of sand, grass clippings, dirt, leaves, rocks, and anything else small enough to fit inside a turned up cuff. When they got home at the end of the day, they had to clean all of that out of their cuffs. I hardly ever recommend cuffs to anyone, mostly because I hardly ever wear cuffs myself. I have one pair of khaki pants that I bought off-the-rack, pre-hemmed with cuffs, and they always sit in my closet and only get worn if they are my last clean pair of pants.

So, the moral of this debate is: If you want cuffs, I'll do it, and they are stylishly acceptable, but I don't recommend them.

Greystone

I just got in a shipment from Greystone of mostly the light weight jersey sweat pants in black, navy, and light grey from 2X up to 10X. These are a great year-round material that also have no elastic down at the ankles. They are a great seller for us!!

Players Underwear

I just got in two big boxes full of underwear from Players, so I've got a pretty good stock right now.

4th of July Hours

I have already had a few calls about our OPEN hours for the next few days, so they are:

Today and Friday - OPEN 10:00 - 6:00
Saturday - OPEN 10:00 - 5:00
Sunday - 4th of July - CLOSED
Monday - OPEN 10:00 - 6:00

Basically, we are open our normal business hours. We will make no changes to our hours for this 4th of July holiday time period. I have heard of many businesses that will close early Friday, and be closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but I will just be closed Sunday.

I tell people that we are usually closed on real holidays, and OPEN on fake holidays. For instance, we are closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, etc., but we are open on Monday July 5th, the day after Thanksgiving, President's Day, and other holidays that are just excuses for the banks and post offices to be closed.

So, I'll be here every day except Sunday if you need some new clothes!!
