Now the clocks have gone back and we plunge into another great British winter! Although this year we do seem to be benefiting from a more mild autumn than usual and that can only be good news as heating fuel prices continue to rocket steeply upwards.
This weekend also saw that 8 week countdown to Christmas. Many of us have been seeing the arrival of the Christmas gift packs and decorations appearing in the supermarkets for a few weeks already but now the evenings are dark and the mornings are getting increasingly gloomy, it does tend to bring home the fact that its going to be at least another five months until we can safely pack up the winter coats and duvets and prepare to embrace the summer sunshine.
Whilst we are now dusting off our thermal lined coats and gloves there are some things that you should remember to keep in the back of your mind when you come in from a damp weather outing. Always make sure that you wipe down any moisture that is left on your leather garments. Even when hanging up straight away this tends to leave unsightly water marks which stand out on dark colours and suede coats can prove to be especially difficult and expensive to remove those white streaky marks from when all that was needed was a soft dry cloth to mop off any water that was left on your coat.
Do also remember to brush your suede coat with a good quality suede brush as this not only keeps the item looking at its best but allows that suede to breathe and ultimately will prolong the life of the coat too.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for the summer holiday deals for next year and keep warm in order to keep the winter blues away
