THOM BROWNE?

THOM BROWNE?  I GUESS THE SHORT PANTS DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM GETTING WET AND DROWNING.  ONE THING I KNOW DEFINITELY IS THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN WEAR A COSTUME.  I'VE WORKED WITH HIS PATTERN MAKER IN THE PAST, AND WHEN I WAS AT THE FACTORY I LAUGHED BECAUSE HE HAD EVERYONE THAT WAS WORKING WITH HIM WEARING UNIFORMS DRESSED JUST LIKE HIM.  AGAIN, TRYING TO BE TOO DIFFERENT HURT HIS ABILITY TO REACH A WIDER CUSTOMER BASE.  IF ONE WANTS TO STAY A EXCLUSIVE SMALL BRAND, THEN HE NEEDS TO CHARGE WAY MORE WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS HE ALMOST WENT BANKRUPT.
