Gonna start off with a big apology, we were informed that this first run of socks from the new mill would have shipped out last week...however, when I went and asked for tracking on the stuff, I was informed they hadn't left the dock yet, and that trucking hadn't been secured.
So, we got a FedEx Priority freight truck sent out immediately and had them picked them up yesterday afternoon. They are supposed to be here tomorrow, however, I just got a delay notificiation, don't know what is up, but will get these on their way just as soon as we get them. Now they are scheduled to arrive at 4:30am this Friday... ????
Losing Fox River was a huge blow to us and the U.S, have worked with them almost 15 years, and I truly hate seeing any American company close it's doors. Jobs lost, factory sitting empty and things not being made. We have lost two spinning mills and a sock knitter in the last few years.
Nester Hosiery however has taken up the mantle, and is doing great things, we have just started our relationship and I do really like them. They are responsive and really seem to make excellent quality socks. I am very happy with what they have accomplished so far... Just can't wait to get this order in, so we can get them on their way to y'all.
On the bright side, we did just get in another batch of "Lord of the Plains" shirts from American Lictor.. these guys go above and beyond to make everything smooth and easy. If you ever need any custom made shirts for your team, business, or just for fun... I cannot recommend them enough, excellent quality, superior products and top notch service. 100% American Made Always! They also can do your artwork and design too.
That is all I have, just wanted to let you know we do apologize for the delay, and the second we get these things in hand, will get them on their way, and I will drive them into Ft. Worth and try and save a day in transit.
Ryan Redington and Team looking good and making good time.
