Dear Valued Customer,

Due to the record rise in cotton prices and increases in other raw material costs, our major industry mills (Gildan, Hanes, Anvil, JERZEES and Fruit of the Loom) have implemented another round of price increases that will go into effect on Monday, November 1, 2010. The approximate increases are 5% on basic tees and 10% on all other products. Although we don’t have an exact date, we expect all our other mills to follow suit in the very near future.

All prices have been updated on the website as well as printable pricelists.

Due to the instability in cotton prices and the predicted future rise in raw material costs, we believe an additional price increase is a possibility. We encourage our customers to be cautious when extending pricing to their customers for any period of time due to these extreme circumstances.

Although volatility in the marketplace is unparalleled to anything Bodek and Rhodes has experienced in our over 70 years in the business, as always, we will strive to secure sufficient inventory at the most advantageous prices to meet our customers' needs.

Together we will weather this storm. Our goal is to help you grow and prosper through this volatile period.

If you have any questions, we are always available to assist you.

Bodek and Rhodes
