"Since mid-October overall economic conditions, consumer confidence and consumer/corporate spending have dramatically deteriorated. T-shirt demand, which we had believed to be somewhat recession proof and had been through mid-October, has been significantly impacted by the rapid and unprecedented change in the macro environment."
