Interesting Times

They were, as I wrote yesterday, interesting times these past few days. On the ASW store side of things our would-be featured product for the week was brought all the way to our door by the good people at the carrier, who then decided that said shipment had not actually cleared customs after all and took it back, leaving us with an empty space in our promotion calendar. But with challenges come opportunities, and I would be remiss if I did not take the occasion to report that I wore a pair of navy blue suede house shoes for most of my Florida trip and they performed flawlessly. Two pair should be the minimum in a closet in my opinion (I would think that of course) and the blue are a great complement to the brown with blue trim.

We were not completely without arrivals this past week as the dusty olive overshoes did finally arrive. The olive is a great color that works much better than black with shoes of black or brown.

Finally, I suggest that anyone interested in neckwear keep an eye on the store this coming week as we expect to receive the first portion of a massive-for-us shipment of things from Drake's London, including dozens of neckties, scarves and squares that I was most excited about when I selected the stuff with Michael Drake this past January. The majority of it is unique to ASW and it will be, as I am prone to say, well worth a look.

I hope to see you on the store.
