2886.0. "Descente getting out of the clothing business?" by ROWLET::AINSLEY (Less than 150 kts. is TOO slow!) Mon Dec 05 1994 15:15

According to Paula at Landry's in Westboro, Descente is getting out of the
clothing business at the end of this season.  Has anyone heard about this?

         Unfortunately, it's true.  I read the announcement in Cycling USA.
    I don't remember specifically what the reason was.  I had an urge to go
    out and buy all of the decent cycling shorts of my size that I could 
    find.  I know from experience that their shorts are long lasting,
    maybe this was their problem, afterall, this has become a throwaway
    world.
         I am still hopeful that they will make the shorts in Japan and
    ship them here in adequate quantities.  As Phil Liggett would say,
    "what a tragedy".
