Entering Headley’s Clothing was all it took for the proprietor and namesake to take charge of any man’s duds.
If you were a regular customer, Glenn Headley could recall sizes and preferences often reciting names of his kinfolk, too and he had plenty of fashion trends to promote.
Threads were his life, right up until he closed the business in Kraft Manor, 1829 S. Ninth, on the last day of 2016. He’d owned and operated the business since 1977.
Care and love for friends and community endured past the end of his retail career, spanning more than a half century.

Alongside Austin s Dicks and Big Boys, Houston s Really Red proved as integral to early-Eighties American punk
culture as Black Flag or Dead Kennedys. Lasting 1978-85, the aggregation of singer/frontman Ronnie U-Ron Bondage Bond, drummer Bob Weber, guitarist Kelly Younger, and bassist John Paul Williams rarely followed regulation punk templates. Old enough to recall Texas psychedelia on ramalama like Crowd Control, their trace elements of art-damaged funk and blues seeped into – from 1981 onward – the band s ballistic thrashing à la Bad Brains on tracks such as I Was
a Teenage Fuckup.
Meanwhile, Bond s lyrics engage race, sexuality, police brutality, and resistance to authoritarianism.
