They don't sell a lot. They do sell some Tom's shoes and we've been able to
get the new ones there when they are out at Nordstom. They do not keep a lot
of pairs in the sales floor. We used to assume that was all they had.
Nope. Last time we asked and they had the needed size in the back.

As for the clothing, it is organic and I think there are only a few peghooks
of them. I think they also sell socks. But again, not a lot of them.

PCC has similar clothing but no shoes.

Central Market has a large selection of aprons but AFAIK, that is the only
thing that could be considered clothing.
