Celebrate Veterans

Monday and every day, we celebrate those who have served our country.

If you have a uniform, here is a jacket storage tip: store it on a hanger a closed (dark) closet, away from direct daylight. A uniform jacket probably spends more time in the closet than on the wearer, so an appropriate hanger is important. Appropriate suit hangers fit the curves of the jacket, they are slightly angled and have shoulder support. Hangers for men’s jackets have broad shoulder support; women’s smaller. Hangers come in various widths. Find a hanger with a width that fits your jacket’s shoulder width. The aim is that the hanger should extend all the way to, but not beyond, the point where the shoulder meets the sleeve. If you cannot find a hanger that fits perfectly, go for a slightly narrower one. Never store your jacket on a hanger that is too wide. It will leave your upper sleeves with an odd shape.
