ARE YOU READY FOR SOME..............

NECKWEAR and other fine accessories??????????? Gary and I have been working NON stop to prepare the lines for the Trade Shows and our fine sales force. I don't know where to begin to tell you have GREAT GREAT GREAT the Private Stock Menswear line truly is this season. As I'm making the swatch cards, I'm liking each and every pattern. I can't even pick a favorite this season because there are too many GREAT designs and colors. I think the workmanship and the craftsman ship of the line is #1.

We have a new line of 9 FOLD ties a comin too! I can't wait to tackle that project.

Did you know we have a White prefolded linen pocket square added to the line? It's so great. Gary wore the first sample last week and got great complements. What doesn't "go" with white?

New this season, is our line of printed 16" pocket squares. I can't WAIT to get a look at 1 of those.

All in all there is something for everyone in this line of accessories that we sell. OOPS I forgot, we've even added to our fine line of formal wear neckwear as well.

So come one come all and see us in NY, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, and New England. Or call 1 of our fine sales reps in your area! They'd love to show you the new line.

On another note, we just shipped out our daughter for her second semester of school. It was a bittersweet good-bye. On 1 hand, she's my partner in crime -- but on another she oh so misses her new school mates and there is absolutely NOTHING going on for her here at home. In fact, she became a blob on our couch in front of the TV and computer for 4 solid weeks. Oh she did leave the cocoon of what we call our backroom for some visiting of friends -- but mostly she just relaxed and got her strength back from a very intense semester. Emily's GPA is 0.04 away from receiving more scholarship money -- so she's got some lofty goals to try and achieve. We'll have to see how it all plays out.

Best,

Jane
