Aprés ski.
Check every item for salt, grit or food spills after your fun on the snow. Close zippers and release tension on drawstrings or elastics, dry thoroughly before storing. Specifically follow care instruction tags: high tech fabrics need special attention, sometimes more sophisticated than the home washing machine.

Enzymes working for you?
Are you using enzymes at home as an alternative to heavy-duty chemicals to clean clothes and linens? Read the directions carefully – most enzymes require a specific temperature to work – too cold and they don’t do the job, to hot and they are destroyed and won’t clean.

Job interview for men.
According to the GQ Guide for Shirting, your dress shirt should be a solid color with a straight collar and long sleeves. Patterns, button-downs and short sleeves are just too informal. Wearing a tie adds professionalism, select diagonal “rep” stripes, solids or a tiny pattern. Pants and jacket? Never wrinkled, always clean — that’s our…
