Mail from West Africa

February 26th, 2009 · No Comments

Mr. Whittemore,

After looking at the IR website, it seems you are the man that I should send this email to (though after reading the job descriptions I was tempted to send it to John Weld… haha). I just wanted to tell you that my mother bought me a pair of your IR capri’s online, along with a bunch of other capri’s from miscellaneous other companies, for Christmas because I needed Muslim-appropriate dress because I was leaving for West Africa shortly after the holidays. Well, as I can imagine you know- ordering clothes online without trying them on or knowing the brand can end in disaster; however when I put on the capri’s (which are not only sensible, and comfortable- but very stylish!) they fit like they were made for me. I was thrilled with them, and have appreciated their light weight material, nice pattern and general wearability.
But today as I sat in the back of the compound (home for 6 months) scrubbing laundry in tubs with a bar of ‘local soap’ and cold water my appreciation and love of IR grew tremendously. They scrub out SO easily, honestly I wish I had 10 more pairs like them in different colors and styles! I had to laugh, because it was the highlight of my day discovering just how great those pants are (they even dried on the line in no time at all).

Well, Mr. Whittemore, I just wanted to tell you that you guys are doing a great job with your products and I will definitely be an advocate of anything IR. I can’t wait to get back in the States, for a million reasons (one being washers and dryers, another being brownie sundaes) but also because I look forward to buying more products from your company.

Thank you so much for the great pants, and thank you even MORE for making laundry by hand less miserable.

Your new loyal customer,

Nellica
