Wearing Your Letters Religiously
Last week, I attended one of the monthly Rainmakers events. This one in particular I have attended since it started. This meeting was not very well attended for some reason which I am finding to be a common occurrence among all of the networking events that I attend. This is not what I want to talk about today though. 
At this meeting I was talking with a man who I met months ago but he did not remember me. This is also a common occurrence. :) Anyway, when he found out that I am an expert in embroidery he pulled up his sweater and showed me the oxford that he was wearing underneath. On the pocket of his oxford he had his three letter monogram. He then followed by asking me if I did embroidery like his monogram. Of course, I said that I do!
His curiosity spiked and he continued with several more questions. He was ecstatic that he was able to find someone closer to his home who provides this service. He currently takes his shirts to a shop on the far west side of Indianapolis and he lives and works on the north side.
Our conversation was very interesting to me. He is the first person that I have met who wears his letters religiously. This man has been wearing his monogram for over 25 years. In fact, he will NOT wear a shirt until it has been embroidered! He said he did not know why but ever since he started wearing his monogram, he has grown to love it so much that he refuses to wear a non monogrammed shirt. When I purchase a new jacket I can be this way but only when it is a new and exciting item! I have been know to defer from this thinking though when my patience has gotten in the way.
This man made me really think about what I do. He is a great example of what we should all be doing. He proudly wears his monogram every day just as we should proudly wear our logo. Do you proudly wear your logo and brand? If you don't, why not?
