Whilst its still only January and no doubt we have a fair bit of bad weather still to come (especially if this summer is anything like last years!!) its always nice at this time of year in a menswear shop to see the new season stock coming in.
Spring is always exciting in clothes retailing, we see the dark colours associated to the winter months gradually give way to the brighter, lighter colours of spring.
Our banks of trousers (Have I told you we have over 1000 pairs of trousers in stock at any one time?) are the best indication; the arms that hold the trousers gradually get lighter as we fill up empty spaces with new stock that is arriving daily, gradually over the next 6 - 8 weeks, the whole shop will change colour - just like the countryside does as the spring bulbs first emerge from the ground and then start to flower.
Oh, I do like the spring!
