What? Forget the Laundering…

Wool & Prince tailored men’s shirt. Yahoo-Shine

Really?  A shirt that can be worn 100 days straight without being washed or dry cleaned.  Imagine being wrinkle-free and odorless.  Mac Bishop, 24, whose family owns the Pendleton Woolen Mills in Oregon had 15 testers sport the shirt for 100 days from socializing to working out at the gym.  The shirts retained their shape and look.  What’s the secret?  Wool is six times more durable than cotton and is wrinkle resistant.  The company says its shirts are light and breathable, because they use a fine wool thread three times finer than human hair.

 

Get this!  Jeans, according to Levi Strauss and other experts can and should go for long stretches without being laundered, as washing breaks down the fabric.  Levi’s suggests freezing your jeans to kill off bacteria between uses.  They’ve suggested washing them every 6 months.

 

I wonder if their test included people eating and possibly spilling mustard or barbecue sauce on their shirt.  I could definitely to it, just not eat in my shirt or pants!    *See entire Yahoo-Shine Article”

 

Guys-Update your Jeans!

November 30th, 2011

Men need to keep updating their wardrobe as much as women.

This year’s denim is getting slimmer.  If you’re wearing jeans from two years ago, most likely they don’t look fashionable.

General rules for denim: dark washes are dressy and lighter washes are more casual.  A relaxed fit is fine, but the baggy denim look is over.  Avoid washes with too many effects i.e. whiskers, creases, rips.  They look fine in small doses but never wear jeans that have all of the above.  For a great fit, try jeans with a bit of stretch  to them.  Even for guys with larger thighs they look and feel terrific.

C’mon Guys…….time to update!
