I’ve been traveling quite a bit in the last few weeks for clothing trade shows, and in doing so I’ve had the good fortune of spending more time with many industry veterans. For instance, my most recent trip to Las Vegas gave me another opportunity to catch up with the good folks over at Articles […]
Indian Summers and Fall Stock: A Visit to Khaki’s of Carmel
Last month I took a quick trip down to Khaki’s of Carmel with my good friend (and resurrected blogger) Gus.
