How to Repair and Modify Your Hockey Jersey

Since the playoffs are winding down and fans are buying all the jerseys in Vancouver. I thought I would write an article on jersey repair, up keep, and modification. Being a huge NHL fan I have quite a lot of memorabilia and I guess I could be called a jersey hound. Since I’m not looking for re-sale later in life, I guess the only reason I buy jerseys is that it’s a ‘fun money pit’ for me. Everyone has one, whether its cars, bikes, boats, they're all the same. Here are the legendary secrets of how to get the stains, beer, blood, dirt, snags, sweat, and whatever else happened out of your jersey.

How to Sell An Item Through Craigslist

I have been asked multiple times by family members and friends, ‘how can I sell on Craigslist.’ I have sold hundreds of dollars worth of items through Craigslist and through my sales I’ve found what works and what doesn’t work. This article goes through the five essential steps you need to follow to sell your item(s) on Craigslist.

*This article is not only for Craigslist but almost any selling site / forum.*

1. Know the Condition / Value of the Item

 This step is key to knowing what your item is realistically worth and to avoid low-ball offers and the occasional angry email. If you have an Iphone for example and you just bought it for $800 tax in, four months ago, it’s not worth $800 anymore. The sad realization of an items value is key to getting your item sold quickly and obtaining more offers to choose from.

The best way to find an accurate value for your item is to go on Craigslist, Kijiji, Ebay, etc. and find similar products. Take the average price you see on the listings and factor that into your items condition to figure out a proper value for your item.

It’s all in the look…

I don’t know about you, but lately I have noticed that young Vancouver males are dressing more and more stylish as the seasons go by. With the addition of new and contemporary men’s fashion boutiques in Gastown, Kitsilano, and Victoria, there is no reason why any man should dress to un-impress nowadays.

For those who are in need of a little more direction, I have devised a Men’s “how-to” guide for dressing well and looking confident. As some of you may know, I write a fashion blog called BC Boutiques (www.bcboutiques.wordpress.com) and write for an online Men’s Lifestyle and Fashion Magazine called Knew Daily (www.knewdaily.com). I was asked by Jonathan to contribute to The Mustache and figured that it would be a great opportunity to write a piece on Men’s fashion.

Step #1: Back to Basics

Every man should have at least 3-4 staple items in their closet. These are basic go-to pieces that always look great and can be worn any time. If you are ever unsure of what to wear, just pull one or two of these articles of clothing out of your closet and presto! A simple, comfortable, and stylish outfit magically appears.

Basic Must-Have’s:

a) A good t-shirt. My favorite Men’s t-shirt is by Rxmance, a Men’s brand available at Roden Gray in Gastown, Vancouver. This t-shirt comes in a variety of colors and in v-neck or crew neck styles.
