  • Honoring those who served.

    We’ll be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Join us in remembering the heroes from our families, our community and our country who sacrificed to protect our American way of life.

  • Save the T.

    Favorite T-shirt? To get the longest life from a special tee, wash it in cold water with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Lay it flat to dry as you would a sweater. Throwing a t-shirt into a hot dryer will cause fading, pilling and can make sleeves twist and stretch out of shape. If…

  • Wash or clean?

    Does the label say washable, but the garment looks and feels like it needs dry cleaning?

  • Workout wear.

    Gym clothes made with high-performance fabrics require special treatment. Never let damp workout wear sit in your gym bag. Hang it to dry or, better yet, throw it in the washer pronto. Wash with cold water (always follow care tag instructions) with unscented detergent. Extra chemicals, like perfume or fabric softeners, can clog the high-tech…

  • Stowing away winter leathers.

    Everything made of leather needs maintenance, especially if it’s been exposed to winter weather conditions. Shoes and boots should be wiped with a damp cloth, especially if salt-stained. Inspect jackets and coats for damage, tears or stains before hanging on a well-padded hanger for storage. Use leather conditioner on dry spots like elbows and seams.…
