September 03, 2010How to Wash Your Down Jacket?

Ok, so you dropped a few Benjamins (or Sir Robert Borden if your flag has a maple leaf on it) on your sweet down jacket. You, my friend, are rocking the party that rocks the body. And that party is called the streets. Turning heads, you're smoking hot both figuratively and literally and everyone knows it.

But then, you also end up dropping some mustard on it. Oh dear. I don't know of too many stains that make you look cool, but mustard certainly isn't one of them. That's when you come see me for help. The truth is that mustard stains are a little intense for little old me. Here are some general washing instructions :

  1. Use Granger’s Downwash.
  2. Use a front-loading washing machine (to avoid damaging the down baffles as well as the jacket).
  3. Tumble-dry at low heat with 6 to 8 tennis balls in socks in order not to dirty the coat.

Tip: if you see that the water is no longer beading (making little water droplets) on the fabric, apply a spray-on water repellent to your washed jacket while it is still wet.

* Always be sure to check the manufacturer label for proper care instructions, as these may vary.

January 29, 2010To Know Where You’re Going, You Have to Know Where You’re From

Well the title of the article is a bit too philosophical for today's topic, but what can I say, a little philosophy goes a long way. That and I like to challenge myself intellectually from time to time.

Now for the fun part: while perusing the Facebook page of Quartz Nature (for work purposes obviously), I discovered a superb picture album with vintage pictures from back in the day snow suits.

Here are some of my favourites. Ahhh, the good ole days:

To Know Where Youre Going, You Have to Know Where Youre From

Whether brown or beige, these suits are sexy
