Thread: need help alligning a table with \t

i need my table to look like this
Description Units on Hand Price
Jacket 12 59.9
Designer Jeans 40 34.95
Shirt 20 24.95


my code says this

public class RetailTest 
 {
	public static void main(String[] aaa) 
	{
		RetailItem r1 = new RetailItem("Jacket",
										12,
										34.95
										); //1
		RetailItem r2 = new RetailItem("Designer Jeans",
										40,
										34.95
										);   //2
		RetailItem r3 = new RetailItem("Shirt",
										20,
										24.95
										);
 
 
 
		System.out.println("Description \tUnits On Hand \tPrice"); //4
		System.out.println(r1.getDescription() +  "\t"  	
							+ r1.getUnitsOnHand() + "\t" 
							+ r1.getPrice() 
							); // 5
 
 
		System.out.println(r2.getDescription() +  " \t "  
							+ r2.getUnitsOnHand() +  " \t "  
							+ r2.getPrice() 
							); //6
		System.out.println(r3.getDescription() +  " \t "  
							+ r3.getUnitsOnHand() +  " \t "  
							+ r3.getPrice() 
							); //7
	}
 
 
}
