Shearling Coat Care
Shearling coats and jackets are easy to take care of, although you do have to keep in mind a few things to avoid accidental damage to them.
Here's our care guide.
If your shearling jacket gets wet, let the coat dry naturally. Don't place by a fire or other high heat source.
Heat can dry out the natural oils in the hides.
Do not wash your shearling coat or jacket in a washing machine or put in a dryer. Most shearling coats are meant to be dry cleaned.
When looking for a dry cleaner, make sure that they know how to properly clean a shearling coat.
The process must include putting the natural oils back into the hides.
Without doing this process, the hides will dry out and the coat will be ruined.
When hanging your Shearling Coat or Jacket use on a sturdy, well shaped coat hangar. Don't use a wire hanger that's going to put "pokies" in the shoulders and don't hang it up on a knob for extended periods of time.
Avoid stain resistant treatments that are made of silicone.
We recommend Cavalier brand Protect-All.
It will give you a layer of protection without changing the color or finish.
Do not put adhesive stickers on shearling coats or jackets, as part of the adhesive can either get left behind or the adhesive may itself pull off some of the fabric.
Never place a shearling coat or jacket right next to a open fire or other strong heat source, such as a heater. The high heat from a fire or heater can damage a shearling coat or jacket. Also do not store a shearling coat in direct sunlight as it can bleach a shearling coat over time.
When storing shearling coats and jackets, never put them in a plastic garment bag for any sort of extended time because they need to breath. Cloth garment bags are highly recommended for both storage and travel of shearling jackets and coats.
Never leave your coat in a car or trunk for any amount of time on a hot day, especially if it is wet. The combination of water, being crumpled & excessive heat generally results in the coat shrinking, smelling musty and losing its shape. (Even the best cleaner or restorer will have a tough time restoring it.)
You can choose to have your coat stored over the summer but most people tend to keep them at home in a climate controlled room and this seems to work fine.
Never put them in the attic or basement for storeage.

Looking After Leather
With a little care, you can keep leather clothing looking its best for years, according to an expert on leater from The Olde Hide House in Acton, Ontario.- Leather naturally repels water but, for additonal protection, look for an environmentally friendly repellent product to help prevent absorption of water and body oils. It's best to avoid silicone-based repellents which retard leather's ability to "breathe."- Let wet leather garments dry in well-ventilated areas, away from heat. The leather may stiffen slightly but should soften again after wearing.- Hang leather coats and jackets on thick or padded hangers to keep the shoulders in shape. Don't load pockets with heavy or bulky items, which could tear seams.- Plastic bags tend to dry out or discolor leather. Use a cotton garment bag for off-season storage, or hang coats as usual, draping a tea-towel over the shoulders to deter dust.- Avoid pressure-sensitive labels (the stick-on type)as the gummy residue left behind by these labels...

Painting and Decorating Tile
Ceramic tile can be beautiful and elegant. But it can also be bland and uninspired. If you want to add a little color or creativity to your tile, here's how!Remember to clean your tile and let it dry before you begin any project.1. Seal both tile and surrounding grout with a water-based floor varnish. Ask your home improvement retailer for suggestions about a good water-based floor varnish for your area.2.
Brush paint primer on both tile and grout. Let it dry for at least 12 hours before you begin painting.3. With an artist's brush, paint your pattern with latex paint. Simple designs are best. You can use stencils or, if you are brave, try painting your own original design directly on the tile.
Let the tile dry before sealing.4. Seal the tiles with two coats of water-based varnish. Let the tile dry between coats.Decorating your old tile can be easy and fun. Now, anyone have a great idea for rescuing an old bathtub? (Without making it a backyard planter, that is!).
