While we're on the topic of "what you could branch into", I was looking for bed throws and having sifted through Pendleton's website (king of throws!), I did not find anything to my liking (and price even less). I think a nice textured, 100% wool (or nice blends if you ever go into alpaca) would do the job beautifully. I'm thinking of the textures and patterns of your overcoats (houndstooth for example!).
The cut is very easy, could help get rid of rolls of fabrics that have not been used for orders. To give you an idea, Pendleton throws are usually 200-300$ and 400$ for more complex patterns minimum. For something sized 6ft by 4ft approx (although they have smaller sizes too).
I know you guys don't need forum people to help you run your business, so don't feel offended, just food for thought in this boring environment :)

Possibly. But not the short term.

Spier and Mackay is a menswear store, not Bed Bath and Beyond.

Might be a stupid question but if I order a 40R suit and need a 36 pant size, do I say I need a size 36 trouser or a size 42? I'm not sure whether to specify the waist size or the suit size.

Haven’t seen to many fit pics of this jacket yet. I haven’t been wearing sport coats so I took the holiday weekend As an opportunity to change that.
