Summer

I had a meeting today with a landscape contractor that I design for. He had recently met with a potential client who he thought (because of the name and address) was going to be a basketball celebrity. It turned out to not be the case.

However, this landscape contractor thought that I, being the owner of a tall men's clothing company, would automatically know this retired basketball star. But I do not. My son, and the inspiration for this company, has no interest in playing basketball despite his tall frame. He is passionate about computer science and soccer. His summer internship is developing software for 3D printing technology.

There isn't really a theme to this blog, rather a mother's rambling about her tall son not being at all interested in basketball and the need to find him some new pants for his summer job!

I went online at JC Penney because they typically offer some choices in 38" inseams. I happened to notice their 30" inseam jeans had a selection of 160 or so options. The 36" dwindled down to about 60 choices. By the time you got to the 38 inseam, the jeans were $10 more and only had 12 choices!

This is my frustration and the reason why my family began a tall men's clothing store. I'll insert here how much I want to thank all our customers and supporters!

I did order a couple pairs of 34 x 38 Levis through JC Penney's website as we are not currently offering jeans on our website, altusmenswear.com. Yet I do hope our future will lead to a one-stop shopping experience for all you extra-tall guys!

Have a wonderful summer and thank you again for supporting our family business!
