Holiday Guide 2009 is Up! Golf Gear, Cords, News & Updates, Oh My!

Happy Fall! It is actually crisp (FINALLY) in Florida so we are enjoying the cooler weather and getting in the Holiday spirit!

To that end, our much anticipated Holiday Gift Guide 2009 is here! It is chock full of new and already popular items- check it out! On the right side of our home page, you will also find our Holiday Shipping deadlines and a link for our special, Holiday return policy (we’re giving you extra-time on purchases made after Nov. 1, 2009).

Also new this year: for the last-minute shoppers, we’ve identified a selection of best-selling items available for immediate shipment, with guaranteed delivery by the 24th of December. Check out our Last-Minute Gift Guide here. When ordering from the Last-Minute Gift Guide, you may order as late as Dec. 21, 2009 at 12 noon EST and your order should arrive by 12/24! Yep- the Holiday Season is in full swing!

Speaking of “Swings,” our micro-fiber, short-rise shorts and other specialty, athletic apparel in short men’s sizes was highlighted in a Holiday Gift Guide in the St. Petersburg Times this week , “Golfer’s guide to finding places that specialize in niche golf equipment,” by Rodney Page. The article also included some small businesses that specialize in nifty, specialty items for the Golfer on our list- like left-handed gear, special carts, women’s and children’s clubs, accuracy-enhancing golf balls (and who, besides Tiger, couldn’t make use of those!).

For those of you who love the fit of our Berle Short-Rise Chinos and Washable-Wool Trousers, our New Corduroy Trousers have arrived (Short-Rise, Short Inseam & New Colors this year!) .   The fit is the same as your favorite Berle pants, but the styles and colors are so much better for this season!  Enjoy your Holiday Shopping, but also remember to relax and enjoy this delightful season (can you tell it’s my most favorite time of the year?)

Best.

A Short Transition to the Holiday Season: Annual Short Men’s Gift Guide is up at ForTheFit.com

The Holiday Season seemed to kick in early for us at ForTheFit.com. Despite an overall weak economy, we saw a significant lift in Holiday Sales as early as October 1st – a fact for which we are very grateful to our new and repeat customer’s alike! Nonetheless, we wanted to alert our readers to the fact that ForTheFit.com’s annual Men’s Holiday Gift Guide is up.

This year, in additional to our usual recommendations of short-inseam sweatpants and loungewear, we are proud to offer an assortment of more traditional and luxury gift items, sized for the shorter man.

Men's Short-Rise Charleston Khaki Cord, Exclusively at ForTheFit.com

For one, exclusively at ForTheFit.com, we are offering the Charleston Khaki brand of trousers in a short rise, corduroy model for the Fall/Winter season (supplies are limited, shop early for best selection).

We also have an assortment of sweaters (v-neck, crew and polo styles in silk, cotton & cashmere) available from Men’s Size Extra-Small. We’re also offering Outerwear in Leather, Suede & Fleeced (also from Size XS). Our favorite? The R-Tek Recycled Fleece Vest- it’s warm, inexpensive ($39.99), eco-friendly, and sized from XS- it doesn’t get better than this!

Shown In Navy, from size XS, $39.99 at ForTheFit.com

Beyond the dates above, we will do our best to get packages out in time for the Holidays, but we can make no promises (especially in the case of special order merchandise). Shop Early to ensure that your selections are available and delivered on time
