Table of Contents FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar expressions. In particular, information appearing under “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” includes forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on the current plans and expectations of our management and expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. The following include some but not all of the factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated: • our ability to migrate our production and manufacturing operations to lower-cost locations around the world; • risks associated with our foreign operations or foreign supply sources, such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations; • the impact of economic and business conditions and industry trends in the countries in which we operate our supply chain; • the highly competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we compete; • our ability to effectively manage our inventory and reduce inventory reserves; • our ability to keep pace with changing consumer preferences; • loss of or reduction in sales to any of our top customers, especially Wal-Mart; • financial difficulties experienced by any of our top customers; • failure by us to protect against dramatic changes in the volatile market price of cotton, the primary material used in the manufacture of our products; • the impact of increases in prices of other materials used in our products, such as dyes and chemicals, and increases in other costs, such as fuel, energy and utility costs; • costs and adverse publicity arising from violations of labor or environmental laws by us or any of our third-party manufacturers; • our ability to attract and retain key personnel; • our debt and debt service requirements that restrict our operating and financial flexibility, and impose interest and financing costs; • the risk of inflation or deflation; • consumer disposable income and spending levels, including the availability and amount of individual consumer debt; • retailer consolidation and other changes in the apparel essentials industry; • future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; • new litigation or developments in existing litigation; • our ability to comply with environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations; • general economic conditions; and • possible terrorists attacks and ongoing military action in the Middle East and other parts of the world. 2 Table of Contents There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if any of them does, what impact they will have on our results of operations and financial condition. You should carefully read the factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

    Webb School of Knoxville Code of Dress & Appearance Middle School, 2021-2022 The Webb Middle School uniform allows students to dress neatly and comfortably for the activities in which they engage during a normal school day. All students are expected to be in school uniform every day. We hope the student uniform will help diminish the sartorial competition and peer pressure that is frequent among younger adolescents. Webb’s Middle School is a place where students should be confident that they are accepted for their character and personality, not for what they wear. Special Update for 2021-2022: The formerly instituted formal dress uniform requirement for Middle School is suspended for this school year. Please see below for this year’s Code of Dress & Appearance. All uniform shirts must be purchased from the following providers: Educational Outfitters <http://knoxville.educationaloutfitters.com/find-my-school/webb-school-of-knoxville/> Tommy Hilfiger <http://www.globalschoolwear.com> Lands’ End <https://www.landsend.com/shop/school/S-ytp-xe8?cm_re=lec-_-global-_-glbnv-school-_- 20160525-_-txt> Shirts, pants, skorts, skirts, and shorts also must be purchased from Educational Outfitters, Tommy Hilfiger, or Lands' End. Approved items are located on the Hilfiger site under the Middle School menu; Educational Outfitters has a list of all approved Middle School uniform items. When purchasing uniform items, please consider that your child will probably grow during the school year. This is especially important for eighth graders, who sometimes have to purchase new clothing to meet the dress code with only a few months remaining in the Middle School.

  • Electronic Press Kit
    Electronic Press Kit No Adjustment Needed: The Tommy John Story A history of the company that reinvented men’s undergarments In 2008, Thomas John Patterson, a medical device salesman from South Dakota, was fed up with how uncomfortable and non-functional all his undergarments were. His undershirts would stretch out, shrink, untuck, yellow and pill. Though he had no experience in clothing design or manufacturing, Patterson decided the market demanded a better option so he set out to give men the undershirt they deserve. Investigating this new territory of fashion, Patterson hit the streets and department stores asking regular guys, as well as clothing specialists, to share their thoughts about undershirts. He studied all the top brands, turning dozens of shirts inside out, measuring proportions and testing fabric blends to develop the perfect combination of fit, fabric, and function. The result was the reinvention of men’s undergarments. In 2009, Tommy John launched The Second Skin Collection, an innovative line of men’s undershirts and underwear. The unique stretch fabric and form-fitting design ensures their US patented undershirt never rides up, bunches, and stays tucked in. By redefining the basics of men’s wardrobes, Tommy John seeks to provide men with innovative solutions to age-old apparel problems. Determined to see his dream become a reality, Tom cold-called Neiman Marcus and sent appropriate sizes to the buyer, her husband and several other men in the department. When Tom called to follow up, the buyer had already received requests from those who received samples for more, which prompted her to launch Tommy John into 15 locations.

  • Uniform Rules – November 25, 2014
    2014-15 NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL CLARIFICATION OF UNIFORM RULES – NOVEMBER 25, 2014 Prepared by Art Hyland, secretary-rules editor, NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee During the early part of the basketball season, there has been some confusion about certain uniform rules which has resulted in lack of consistency in the enforcement of these rules. This memorandum is intended to clarify these rules. 1. Undergarments/Legs – Rule 1-23.2 permits undergarments (e.g., tights, leggings, etc.) to extend below the game shorts. They must be one solid color which may be black, white, beige or the color of the shorts. Minor color changes such as stitching, which is insignificant to the overall color of the tights, are permissible. All teammates who wear tights must wear the same color. No medical waiver is required to wear such apparel. 2. Undergarments/Arms – Rule 1-23.1 permits undershirts to be worn as long as they are one solid color similar to that of the game jersey as defined by the neutral zone. Minor color changes such as stitching, which is insignificant to the overall color of the undershirt, are permissible. All teammates must wear the same color undershirt. No logos, decorations, trim, patches, lettering or numbering are permitted on the undershirt except as noted above. Any player who requires a long-sleeved undershirt for medical reasons must receive a waiver from the rules committee. The player's medical personnel/coaching staff must keep a copy of the waiver on the bench for inspection by the officials or opposing team. The same color restrictions apply to a long-sleeved shirt as noted above for a short-sleeved shirt unless a waiver of the color rule has also been issued.

  • If You Care to Sew… How to Turn an Old Shirt Into a Pretend Colonial Shirt
    If You Care to Sew… How to Turn an Old Shirt Into a Pretend Colonial Shirt Time to complete: 30 minutes Supplies: • Men's old dress shirt: Choose an old shirt that is white, brown, blue, red, checked, or striped. Don't choose any really bright or neon colors. • Scissors • 3 Buttons: In the 18th Century a working man's buttons would have been made of horn, bone, wood, or pewter. A dress shirt might have had thread buttons. Choose buttons about 5/8" wide in brown, off-white, or white metal. Eighteenth Century buttons usually had 2 holes, not four, or were metal with a loop on the back. • Fabric glue or fusible web, a sewing machine, or a needle and thread. Background: In the 18th Century, shirts were used the way shirts are today, but they were also used as underwear, and to sleep in. Dress shirts were white and made of fine bleached linen or cotton. They might have ruffles made of lace or linen at the neck and on the cuffs. Work shirts were made of coarser, cheaper material. They were usually white or the color of unbleached linen, but they were sometimes dyed, or checked, or striped. Directions: 1. Remove pockets, buttons, and any labels. 2. Cut the points off of the collar to make it rectangular. Colonial collars were often rectangular. Sew or glue the cut edges of the collar together. 3. Cut the rounded edges off of the bottom of the shirt to make it straight. Leave the tails as long as possible.

  • M.4.0 Dress Code
    M.4.0 DRESS CODE Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. I Corinthians 6:18-20 NIV The goal of our dress code is to establish high Christian standards for our school and our students. The code is meant to foster a student’s self-respect and to provide the opportunity for students to make a positive statement in our community. Middle school students are required to be in dress code beginning with the first day of school. To the greatest degree possible, uniform guidelines will be followed consistently. Effort has been made to coordinate the middle school uniform policy with the uniform programs in elementary and high school. However, each program is separate and distinctive. Do not assume that what is acceptable at one level is also acceptable at either of the other grade levels. Please refer to the specific uniform policy for the grade level of your student. M.4.1 General Guidelines These guidelines apply to regular school days, extra-curricular activities, and all school events. 1. Students are expected to dress according to uniform/dress code guidelines from the time they arrive on any CASS campus for school until they leave school for the day or begin practice for sports. 2. Students are to use good judgment in dressing for extracurricular activities in a manner that reflects modesty, neatness, and cleanliness.
