Uniform Care
Repair or Recycle?
With the proper care, your uniform should have a long, fruitful life. But all things have an expiration date. Recognize when it’s time to retire those well-worn threads.
REPAIR: Stained Collar:
Try pretreating the collar with shampoo. Keep it from happening again by wearing it only once between washes. Stains Under the Arm: Dissolve a few denture-cleansing tablets in a bowl of warm water or try OxiClean. Missing Buttons: Time to sew what you’ve reaped! Get that needle and thread ready. EXCHANGE OR RECYCLE: Frayed Collar: Typically, it’s not worth the time or money to have a collar repaired. Frayed Cuffs: Replacing the cuffs can cost just as much as buying an entirely new shirt. Save yourself the time and trouble. Faded Color: Nothing waters down a professional appearance like a washed-out shirt. Once you notice your Averitt red starting to fade, it’s time to upgrade.
