Really important things to note ∞

• A big list can be found at Shopping.

  • It is important. Read it.

• Pay attention to wash/dry/etc requirements!

  • Sometimes you may not have the time, skill or other circumstances to take proper care of certain items.
    - e.g. if you're poor, don't buy an everyday item that's dry-clean only!

• Beware of buying clothing from foreign countries!

  • They may list their clothing sizes differently than you may expect. "L" may mean something different.
  • China has tiny, tiny, people.
  • Always read, understand, and test any measurements they give. This is very important to know. If you're not buying trackpants and baggy sweaters, you need things to fit properly.

Notes ∞

Shoes: I had New Balance recommended because they have consistant models of shoes so you can always find a replacement pair that will fit the same as your old pair.

Cedar Blocks and Hanger Disks are recommended for putting on the necks of your hangers, to drive away moths, fleas and silverfish. When the aroma fades, lightly sand surface of block to renew them. https://www.lehmans.com/ may still sell them.

Neat's-Foot Oil -- softens and preserves all leathers - saddles, boots, gloves, belts and shoes.
