There is much to be excited about for Spring 2009 as Coppley finds creative ways to help you grow your trouser business. We have focused on three key initiatives for the upcoming season:

• The environmentally-friendly ECOSAVVY cool wool, high performance trouser
• The unbeatable comfort and performance of our STRETCH program, which marries a comfortable stretch waistband with high-performance stretch cloths
• The comfortable, relaxed and stylish LAVATO garment wash program

Green initiatives continue to grow in importance in today's retail environment. The growing interest of consumers to become ever more eco-conscious has led Coppley to address this important trend with the introduction of the ECOSAVVY dress trouser.

We have partnered with a luxury Biella mill to create a cloth that is not only high performance, but also eco- friendly. The ECOSAVVY cloth is dyed and finished using only environmentally-friendly additives, and has been certified as such by Oeko-Tex, the international green standards organization. ECOSAVVY has many features that make it an ideal addition to your trouser program for Spring 2009:

• Super 100's merino wool
• Natural stretch
• Wrinkle resistant
• Eco-friendly

Comfort, performance, versatility and style are the four key attributes of a quality trouser. Coppley combines all of these important features in our new STRETCH program.

We have created a comfortable stretch waistband and partnered it with a series of luxury dress fabrics (including a rich cotton), which are also stretch (utilizing either lycra or natural stretch). The result? A trouser with incredible comfort, performance, versatility and style. Who wouldn't appreciate these qualities in a trouser?

Everyone can appreciate the relaxed yet stylish attitude of our new LAVATO garment wash program. Available in a compact assortment of stylish cotton trousers, the unique wash process creates a luxurious touch and an individual look.

Offered in both a comfortable four-pocket jean and an attractive flat front sport trouser, as well as an easy cotton sport jacket in our Softwear program, LAVATO will be sure to create added sales for your associates this Spring!

These new items will be supported in both our in-stock program and Custom Box for Spring 2009. With initial inventories to create shelf space and a presence in the store, supplemented by fill-ins through our in-stock program and special orders through our custom program, Coppley will help maximize your profitability.
