F&R Suppliment 2012 by F R

Supplement

turning the ordinary into the extraordinary

Welcome to 2012 and your F&R Supplement, capturing our new brands, products and services for the year ahead. Please allow us to begin by showcasing our inspiring new 2012 catalogue, where we bring the world of theatre into you and your customers’ hands. Why? The theatre is such a personal experience and yet it is highly emotive.

It brings drama, flair and magic and transports us away from our daily life to something quite magical. Now, we aren’t saying our catalogue will have that exact effect, but we do hope that by turning the ordinary into the extraordinary we can bring some glamour to the products we all love.

In addition to our catalogue and webshop we’ve created new tools for you to access product information and to place your orders, anytime, anywhere. We hope this will help you on the way to a successful year.

The Shirt Culture. Clothes make the person. We instinctively tend to trust those who are well-groomed more than those who are not. B&C based its R&D on this concept to create the “B&C Shirt Culture”. There are several signs of a quality dress shirt. Some, like fabric or fit, are instantly obvious. Others, such as the type of buttons or cuffs, take a minute or two to scope. And still others—hidden details like lap seams or labels —are visible only to the wearer. Each detail has been studied and carefully developed by B&C to offer an extremely well balanced shirt collection featuring 20 new corporate shirt styles. The focus of the “B&C Shirt Culture” line lies in the wellgroomed appearance that skilfully combines tradition with modernity.

SG has given it a Wrinklefree finish, but as its Poplin the more it’s worn and laundered the softer and more comfortable it becomes to wear. Available for Men, Ladies, and Kids. The SG 74/75 Stretch is Cotton-rich like the rest of our styles, but unlike most stretch shirts it has no elastane! It’s the special blend of Mercerised Cotton and Shreiner Polyester that gives it its natural stretch and lustre. Rather than pulling across the body this exceptional fabric moulds itself around the body resulting in an amazing fit and drape.
