Two people I have loved listening to for most of my life are Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Today, we lost Dolly.

Years ago, Kenny and Dolly recorded a song together called “You Can’t Make Old Friends.” I’ve always loved that song, but I don’t think I’ll ever hear it quite the same way again. If you've never heard this song, listen to it tonight.

There’s a beautiful moment in the song about St. Peter opening the gates of Heaven, one old friend walking in, and the other being there waiting.

Kenny left us in 2020.

Today, Dolly followed.

I’d like to believe that somewhere in Heaven, Kenny was waiting for his old friend, and tonight, they’re singing together again. Rest in peace, Dolly. And Kenny, take good care of your old friend.

You really can’t make old friends. ❤️
And maybe that’s why this song means even more to me today.

As I’ve gotten older, more and more of the people I have loved have gone on before me. My mom and dad. My two brothers. My daughter. And far too many old friends.
I miss them all.

I’m in no hurry to leave this life; I still have a lot of living and loving left to do. But my faith tells me that when my day eventually comes, I won’t be walking through those gates alone.

I like to believe a welcoming committee will be waiting on the other side: my family, my daughter, my old friends, and so many people I have loved along the way.
And what a reunion that will be.

Until then, I’ll keep loving the people who are still here, remembering the ones who went before me, and being grateful for every old friend God has put in my life.
Because you really can’t make old friends. You can only make new friends and, if you’re lucky, live long enough to watch them become old ones. ❤️

If you haven't heard it, enjoy the lyrics, then go listen to "You Can't Make Old Friends."

What will I do when you're gone?
Who's gonna tell me the truth?
Who's gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?

When somebody knocks at the door
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hands
But you can't make old friends

You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was me and you, since way back when
But you can't make old friends

How will I sing when you're gone?
'Cause it won't sound the same
Who'll join in on those harmony parts
When I call your name?

You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
It was you and me, since way back when
But you can't make old friends

When Saint Peter opens the gate
And you come walking in
I'll be there just waiting for you
'Cause you can't make old friends
("'Cause you can't make old friends") (no)

An' when I'm out on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We all know the show must go on
But you can't make old friends (no, noooo)

You can't make old friends
Can't make old friends
And you and me, will be young again
You can't make old friends

You and me, will be together again
"'Cause we both know, we'll still be old friends"

You can't make old friends Hmmmm
Not the way we've always been

Whether we admit it or not, people are constantly forming impressions—about the restaurants we visit, the cars we drive, and the way we present ourselves professionally.

You cannot stop people from judging, but you can influence what they see: confidence, credibility, honesty, and attention to detail.

That’s why people wear suits in their LinkedIn headshots—even when they rarely wear one to work. They understand that when perception matters, presenting the strongest version of yourself matters too.

Dress with intention. Stack the odds in your favor.

Why don’t our custom shirts shrink?

Because we account for it before the shirt is ever made.

At The House of Baumann, our shirting fabric goes through an extensive pre-shrinking process—washed and dried repeatedly before it is cut and tailored. That means the fabric has already gone through the shrinkage that typically happens after you bring a new shirt home.

The result? Consistency.

When you order another shirt from us, it should fit like the one you already love—not suddenly feel tighter after a few trips through the laundry.

When investing in custom shirts, ask one simple question:

“Do you pre-shrink your fabric before making my shirt?”

It’s a small detail that makes a very big difference in the fit.

What makes the price of a luxury garment? 🧥💡

Bob Baumann breaks down the two main factors that dictate the value and price tag of a high-end jacket:

Quality of Workmanship: Where the garment is manufactured (e.g., USA vs. Italy) and the precision of the construction (like perfectly aligned plaid patterns across the seams!).

Fabric & Origin: The material itself—whether it’s 100% Wool, 100% Linen, or unlined 100% Cashmere—and where the fabric was milled.

Watch the full video to see the breakdown between these three luxury jackets!

There's nothing quite like a client's first look at a custom tuxedo.

From the satin lapels and handcrafted details to the custom travel-inspired lining, every element of Will's tuxedo was designed specifically for him. Even the hidden features—like the shirt grip waistband—were chosen to ensure he looks impeccable and feels comfortable all night long.

Custom isn't just about measurements. It's about creating a garment that reflects your personality and fits your life.

Thank you, Will, for trusting The House of Baumann with your wedding day. We can't wait to see you wearing it.

If you're ready to experience true custom clothing, we'd love to welcome you into the House.

There's nothing better than seeing a client's reaction when they put on the finished product.

Isaiah's new custom sport coat is a perfect example of what happens when exceptional craftsmanship meets personal style. Every fabric, every detail, and every measurement was chosen specifically for him.

A custom garment isn't about following trends—it's about creating something that fits your lifestyle and reflects who you are.

Thank you, Isaiah, for trusting us. It was a pleasure helping bring your vision to life.

If you've never experienced truly custom clothing, we'd love to show you the difference.
