Crable Sportswear Outlet for Your Holiday Gifts

In need of Christmas presents for a college sports fan?  If you are local, head to the Crable Sportswear Factory Outlet.  Definitely worth a trip.  Lots of sweatshirts, pullover jackets, zip-front jackets and vests, sweaters, polos, ties, etc.  For men and ladies.  I did not see any youth items while I was there.  Prices were great – you can see some below. 

And the selection?  Great!  Lots of local colleges, of course.  Xavier, UC, Ohio State, Miami, IU, Louisville, Ohio University, etc.  Not much Purdue while I was there.  And then there were tons of other out-of-state selections as well…Florida, Texas, Alabama, etc.

I grabbed a couple of $19.99 XU polos as gifts and a new XU sweatshirt $10 and XU sweater $15 for myself!










 

Where is it?

In the old McSwain building on Kemper between Mosteller and Chester roads.


 

Hours?

Thursday and Friday 11:00-6:00

Saturday 9:00-5:00


 

I was told they’d be open every weekend the rest of the year.

 

All sales are final.

Definitely Have My Hands Full

Definitely Have My Hands Full

As a mom, don’t you HATE when another mom sees you and your kids and says, “Boy, you sure have your hands full”?  Especially when that tone is added, all I hear is, “Put a lasso on your crew, biatch.”  Because moms only say this when your kids are totally misbehaving and you are trying
