"We've had over 1,000 orders already, so we've had our biggest day ever on the site," Jason Tassone of Brew City Brand said. "It's really just been everyone supporting Miller."

Brew City Brand created the Miller Strong t-shirts in the wake of the shooting that happened Feb. 26 when a gunman shot and killed five coworkers. The shirts were originally only available to impacted families -- until Saturday.

When Ed Padol heard the news of the Miller Brewery shooting, he couldn't believe it. Padol worked for Miller for 35 years. Saturday, he wore his Miller Coors jacket to the Milwaukee Public Market -- proud to purchase a Miller Strong t-shirt.

"Devastated, I couldn't believe it happened," Padol said. "Miller strong. Miller strong."

Coronavirus Rips Apart Apparel Industry: 4 Players Raise Alarm - Yahoo Finance

Posted: 12 Mar 2020 06:28 AM PDT

The rapidly spreading novel coronavirus has rattled the stock market and almost disrupted economic activities worldwide — denting demand, hurting supply chain, slowing down production activities and temporary closure of brick-and-mortar locations. COVID-19, a global pandemic, has infected more than 121,000 people across Asia, Middle East, Europe and the United States, and the death toll has crossed 4,000.

The outbreak has wreaked havoc impacting industries like Auto, Pharma, Electronics, Tourism & Aviation, Technology, Restaurants, Cosmetics and Apparel. Several companies have cautioned regarding their upcoming revenues and earnings results. Quite apparent, a dip in consumer confidence — thanks to market turmoil — is likely to hurt the spending activity, and no doubt retailers will be at the receiving end.

4 Apparel Players Bearing the Brunt

Recently, Urban Outfitters, Inc. URBN informed investors on current business trends that have emerged since its last earnings call on March 3. The apparel retailer informed that it has witnessed a fall in traffic and decline in sales across areas such as Milan, Italy and Seattle, Washington, which are severely impacted by coronavirus. However, this Philadelphia, PA-based company provided an update declaring that it has not experienced any significant impact across its stores in other locations and digital platform due to the outbreak.

Management stated that currently it is not in the position to forecast the impact of COVID-19 on the business in the first quarter. We note that shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company was down 7.4% during the trading session on March 11. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

We note that coronavirus-led worries weighed on the guidance of Capri Holdings Limited CPRI, owner of Versace and Jimmy Choo brands. In spite of reporting better-than-expected third-quarter fiscal 2020 results, management trimmed fiscal 2020 projection on account of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which the company believes will significantly hurt its financial results.

Capri Holdings had earlier informed that roughly 150 out of its 225 stores in mainland China are currently closed. Moreover, some of the outlets are operating with reduced hours and witnessing lower footfall. Given the current scenario in China, this Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company expects revenues and earnings per share to be hit by approximately $100 million and 40-45 cents a share, respectively, in both fourth quarter and fiscal 2020.

Tapestry, Inc. TPR, which reported better-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2020 results, revised fiscal 2020 projection on account of coronavirus outbreak in China, which it believes is significantly impacting its business. The company has to close majority of its outlets on the Mainland. Given the current scenario in China, Tapestry expects sales and earnings per share to be hit by approximately $200-$250 million and 35-45 cents a share, respectively, in the second half.

The company, which owns brands such as Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, envisions fiscal 2020 net sales to be approximately $5.9 billion and earnings per share in the band of $2.15-$2.25. This indicates year-over-year decline from net sales of $6.03 billion and earnings of $2.57 per share reported in fiscal 2019. This Zacks Rank #3 company had earlier guided fiscal 2020 net sales increase at a low-single-digit rate with earnings per share expected to be even with the prior year.

Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF, which reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter fiscal 2019 results, expects first-quarter fiscal 2020 sales to be down mid-single digits from the prior-year quarter. This includes an adverse impact of nearly $40-$50 million due to COVID-19 outbreak. For fiscal 2020, Abercrombie estimates flat to 2% rise in sales, indicating the estimated adverse impact of COVID-19 in the range of $60-$80 million.

Meanwhile, this Ohio-based company anticipates first-quarter comps to be down mid-single digits, indicating the estimated adverse impact from COVID-19 of roughly 600 bps. For fiscal 2020, this Zacks Rank #3 projects comps to be down low single digits, which include predicted adverse impact of COVID-19 of around 200 bps. The company's manufacturing exposure to China was 22% in fiscal 2019 down from 36% in fiscal 2018. Management plans the same to be in the low-teens in fiscal 2020.

Shares of Tapestry, Abercrombie & Fitch, Urban Outfitters and Capri Holdings are down 34.8%, 37.1%, 42.9% and 50.6%, respectively, so far in the year.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All

Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.

…and so many more. Thousands of items, dozens of brand names, and styles and sizes for everyone to enjoy the Great Outdoors in 2020. If your old gear is starting to wear thin, it's time to re-up with some fresh tech gear and apparel at REI.

Not All Tech Gear Is Created Equal

Athleisure is a massive market these days. It feels like it just came on the scene a few years ago. When it originated, it was such a novel thing: gear and apparel made for the active man and woman. We loved it! Finally someone "got" us, and understood that normal clothes weren't built to handle the stress of athletic and/or outdoor activity.

Today there seem to be dozens of brands making "technical" gear and apparel designed for working out and staying fit. Each of these companies is trying to out-do the other. The good ones do it by making better, more effective tech and active gear. It's not cheap, but it is durable and does exactly what it's supposed to do—and it does it very well.

We're talking gear that can stretch and be laundered without losing its shape. Pants that let you slide down a hill on your backside without getting rock rash. Shirts that aren't soaked and heavy with sweat by 10 a.m. (and you just know they're going to stay that way all day long and be far too smelly to let you hit the bar when the day is done.) We're talking lightweight running shoes durable enough to carve up a hillside. And we're talking about jackets that let you move and perform while keeping you warm.

The problem is, there are just as many athleisure brands—more, perhaps?—that try to out-do the other guys by making their technical gear and apparel less expensive. If you've ever heard or used the term "you get what you pay for," then you know it applies in spades to tech gear.

And you also know that "less expensive" is often just another way of saying "cheaper." And cheaper is decidedly not always a good thing.

Especially when you're racing down a 6-degree grade with a 30-foot drop on one side and gravel under your feet.

REI Technical Gear: Quality You Can Trust

If you're looking for the best tech apparel, equipment, and accessories, you've gotta check out REI. REI technical gear and apparel is the largest selection you'll find on the internet. They've got something for everyone—and these prices cannot be beaten.

We've selected a few of our favorites pieces and brands below. But with nearly 3,000 pieces of technical gear in the Men's Deals section alone, you should absolutely take the time to poke around. Be sure to use the filters to search for the best gear for your needs, and your favorite brands. you can filter by activity, price, and much more.
