Having just returned from a nice sunny break in Tenerife, Jayne was filling me in on what has been happening whilst I was away. She mentioned that whilst phoning one of our suppliers, (Douglas & Grahame who produce the Douglas range, DG ranges, Cruise and Wellington ranges) they mentioned that they had seen this Menswear Blog!!

So, it would appear that its not only Laurie and Jayne who read my posts on Menswear but some of our suppliers are starting to take an interest also.

With this in mind, I would like to say hello to the boys and girls at Douglas and Grahame, in particular the sales team who are amongst some of the best in the country - thanks for all your help, particularly when we ring up and say - ‘I have a customer who is looking for a brown trouser, do you have such a thing’ and who then have to describe around 10 different style of trousers, shades and variations. Thank you for being so patient with us!!

We recently had a customer who needed an extra long inside leg trouser, his wife had bought him a 34″ Inside leg but it just was not long enough.

So after a quick phone call to Meyer in Germany they came up with a solution and supplied him with a pair of 36″ inside leg cotton trousers from their stock service range.

This makes a great alternative to having to have made to measure trousers and is so much quicker.

Whilst we don’t stock this length inside leg as a rule, we are more than happy to order these trousers on a special order and it usually takes around 4 working days from them to arrive.

First, let me apologise for not posting on the blog for a while, its been very busy time here at Laurie Hopkins Menswear.

Last week saw the arrival of many reps and agents with their Spring Summer 2009 collections (I will post later about these ranges), many of these agents carry more than one companies ranges and as you can imagine, it can get quite hectic when you are looking at 3-4 ranges on a morning and then others in the afternoon.

However, not content with looking at ranges last week we also were a member of staff down as Jayne took a few (Very well earned) days off. We were also busy in the shop as our sale is coming to an end and the New Autumn/Winter 08/09 ranges flood in.

One day last week, we took delivery of over 100 pairs of trousers, 120 shirts and knitwear as well as over 50 Suits, Jackets and Overcoats - that was a busy day I can tell you.

I have taken a few photos of the new ranges along with the buying etc and I will post them later this week, so keep coming back and having a look at our blog.

Meyer Trousers

The prize for first into store for this coming Autumn/Winter (2009) goes to none other than (as usual) MEYER trousers of Germany.

We received our first batch of Poly/Wool trousers alongside a range of Cotton trousers on Monday as Jayne and I were in Birmingham for the Moda Menswear show at the NEC.

Meyer is one of our best selling trousers, our customers like the attention to detail that they show in their trousers, most of which have an added zipped security area in the right hand trouser pocket. This security pocket is ideal for storing a €20 note and or a credit card should you be traveling abroad and venturing into areas you do not know particularly well.

All Meyer trousers also come with a neat coordinating belt and a loop that us sewn into the waistband where the belt is fastened, this belt stay helps to prevent the ‘dreaded’ belt rise that you can see on many mens trousers when they stand up.

Why not call into our shop and have a look at the exciting new range of Meyer trousers available.

I have just been informed that we have had yet another delivery from Meyer today, a striped 5 pocket western cotton trouser and two ranges of winter weight cottons also.

At this time of year, Laurie Hopkins Menswear has new Autumn/Winter stock arriving daily - there is never a dull moment!
