    We’ve recently received some requests for classic gingham and bright colors in shirting, so we have reactivated some fabrics we have on hand to test demand. The following five SKUs are now live and priced at $148:

    • SOM8
    • SOM9
    • SOM10
    • SOM13
    • SOK8

    We are so excited to see the success of the new Italian Knit pant program we introduced in the Pre-Spring collection. You have done a great job selling the Black pant – and we are almost through our fabric inventory in that color. We will not be reordering the Black color because the fabric mill is having challenges matching our original color standard. 

    Due to a quality issue, we have to temporarily deactivate the Heather Blue jacket lining. We expect the replenishment to arrive and be available to select again by January. 

    Below are some great alternatives we have available to select!

    Tailored Talks happen each Tuesday at 11AM CST.

    Join us on Tuesday, January 7th to learn how to make your January HOT! Regional Sales Directors Deb Scanlan and Kelly Braaten will walk us through business strategies to help you have a successful January, whether your Clients live in warm or cool climates.
