French term or phrase: PàM
Hello
This is some type of clothing, since it is listed in a form that reports problems with orders of clothing - beside "pantalon ville", "hauts hersey", "jean", etc.
Absolutely no idea what it means and it is a tricky one to research because it just comes up as "PAM" on google, wihtout the accent on the a.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions :)

Pareil au Même


Explanation:
I might be very wrong, but does it mention the brands as well as the type of clothing?
"Du pareil au même" is a brand and I already saw it abbreviated it this way.

neutral  Lori Cirefice: I thought of that too, but then why the à? Not to mention the usual acronym is DPAM...
