What ever happened to Travis Place, the catalog company in Durham?
Travis Place Briefs created one of the most unique catalogs ever--using "real" women as models and maintaining a sense of humor often in the face of tremendous adversity.  In the early 90's when the U.S. economy met with some major bumps in the road, it affected business and customer's buying habits such that the company could not keep going.  In 1993, they dropped their drawers, so to speak.
Back To Basics Soft-Wear began in 1995 by honoring the same ideals that began with Travis Place--shopping for underwear should be fun--and personal support is an uplifting adventure.
