1226 Pickens Custom Clothing

It is with profound sadness that I let you all know of Bill's passing. He fought a courageous battle against cancer, never complaining and with his head held high.

In the last 50 years Bill has been the face of Grayson's on Main Street, founded Granger-Owings, Bill Owings Custom Clothing and also 1226 Pickens Custom. Always a leader. Always a smile and a warm handshake. Always one of the BEST of the very best. We will miss him terribly but he taught us well and we will go forward doing business the way he always did with integrity and professionalism and our heads held high.

Thank you all for your support and your friendship! Sending our love.

Happy Happy Birthday to this guy! The One that started it all. The One that has forgotten more about the clothing industry than most of us will ever know. The One that holds it all together for us. The One ❤️ Happy Birthday Bill Owings!!!

Ladies, ladies, ladies! The smile says it all! Nothing makes you feel more confident than the perfect suit and George Bybee made her exactly that! Makes us so happy to see that beautiful smile ❤️
