Aug 9

When you spend most of your life in a Menswear shop, you can be forgiven for losing track of not only the seasons but also years!

Last week saw not only the first week of August but also the first of our many appointments with the various reps and agents who come to see us with their Menswear collections for SPRING SUMMER 09!

Yes, we really do have to order garments so far in advance - infact, the ‘buying season’ here in the UK is getting earlier and earlier every year. We never used to see agents or reps until the beginning of September yet here we are now, a full month earlier and were wishing our current Summer away.

On Monday, Jayne and I are traveling down too the NEC (Birmingham) to visit the Moda Menswear show, this will give us an insight into what is available for next year from all our existing suppliers and hopefully one or two new ones - we will keep you posted.
