Custom Hats & Fabric Care

 

**********************************************
Relevant Blog on Hat: "A hat is a head covering which is worn for various reasons, including protection against weather conditions, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory...In the past, hats were an indicator of social status.[2] In the military, hats may denote nationality, branch of service, rank or regiment.[3] Police typically wear distinctive hats such as peaked caps or brimmed hats, such as those worn by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Some hats have a protective function. As examples, the hard hat protects construction workers' heads from injury by falling objects, a British police Custodian helmet protects the officer's head, a sun hat shades the face and shoulders from the sun, a cowboy hat protects against sun and rain and an ushanka fur hat with fold-down earflaps keeps the head and ears warm. Some hats are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as the mortarboard, which is worn (or carried) during university graduation ceremonies. Some hats are worn by members of a certain profession, such as the Toque worn by chefs...

Relevant Material: "There are no specific statistics on cologne stains, but the oils and alcohol in cologne can cause stains and discoloration by reacting with fabric, especially on light-colored or delicate materials. To prevent them, spray cologne on your skin and allow it to dry before dressing, or apply it to clothes from a distance. If a stain occurs, dab it with a cold, damp cloth or use a mixture of water and vinegar to lift it, and avoid hot water which can set the stain.
 
Why Cologne Causes Stains
  • Oils and Alcohol:
    The main culprits are the oils and alcohol present in perfumes and colognes, which can bond with fabric fibers. 
  • Fabric Reaction:
    These ingredients react with the fabric, leading to visible marks or permanent discoloration. 
  • Delicate Fabrics:
    Light-colored and delicate fabrics like silk are particularly susceptible to these types of stains. 
Prevention Tips
  • Apply to Skin:
    Spray cologne on your pulse points (wrists, neck) and allow it to dry completely before putting on clothing. 
  • Distance Application:
    When spraying on clothing is necessary, hold the bottle at least a foot away to create a fine mist rather than a concentrated spray. 
  • Choose Wisely:
    Some colognes have more oil or different ingredients that are more likely to stain; be aware of the formula. 
Stain Removal Tips
  • Act Quickly:
    The sooner you treat the stain, the better your chances of removing it. 
  • Use Cold Water:
    Gently dab the stain with a cloth dampened with cold water. Hot water can set the stain, making it harder to remove. 
  • Try Vinegar:
    For a more stubborn or dried stain, make a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar and gently sponge the area. 
  • Airing Out:
    For general fragrance, airing clothes outside can also help to dissipate the scent. .." (Google)

  • Relevant Material: "Hats fade from laundry use primarily because washing can be too harsh for their materials, often causing colors to break down or bleed, and losing the hat's shape. While statistics on this specific issue are not readily available, the main factors contributing to fading are the use of aggressive detergents, high water temperatures, mechanical stress from washing machines, and improper drying methods like heat exposure. 
    Why Washing Can Cause Fading
    • Detergent Harshness:
      Strong detergents can strip the dyes from fabrics, leading to colors becoming dull or fading. 
    • Water Temperature:
      Hot water can degrade dyes and cause some fibers to tighten, affecting the color and structure of the hat. 
    • Mechanical Stress:
      Washing machines can cause the fabric to rub against itself, which can break down dyes and fabrics. 
    • Bleeding Colors:
      Washing mixed-color hats without care can cause colors to bleed onto each other. 
    Tips to Prevent Fading
    • Spot Clean:
      For minor stains, use a damp cloth and a mild, color-safe detergent to clean the affected area instead of a full wash. 
    • Hand Wash:
      If a full wash is necessary, hand wash the hat with cold water. 
    • Air Dry:
      Always air dry hats on a towel, reshaping them as they dry, and avoid using heat, which can further break down dyes and damage the hat's structure. 
    • Store Properly:
      Store hats away from direct sunlight, as UV rays are a major cause of fading even when the hat isn't being washed. 
    • Use a Sweatband/Liner:
      For active wear, use a sweatband or liner to absorb sweat and oils, protecting the hat's fabric. .." (Google)

*** Relevant Background :  " An  automatic door , also known as an  auto door , is a  door  that opens automatically, without the need for human intervention or usually upon sensing the approach of a person. A person can be detected by microwave pulses,  infrared sensors  , or pressure-sensing pads...  " ( Automatic door - Wikipedia ) ***  Relevant Material :  " THEY HIT PEOPLE MORE OFTEN THAN YOU THINK AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY Most of us walk through automatic doors on a regular basis. Most retail stores have some form of automatic doors, whether they are sliding doors, revolving doors, swinging doors, or folding doors. Most people who pass through automatic doors don't think about the fact that they can be struck by the door or trapped between the door and door frame. We expect them to simply open for us and close behind us. But often, that is not the case. When an automatic door hits you, you don’t expect it. It can throw...

  ******** " Question Is cycling associated with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among persons with diabetes? Findings In this cohort study of 7459 persons with diabetes, cycling was associated with at least a 24% lower all-cause mortality rate when compared with noncyclists, independent of other physical activity and putative confounders. Taking up cycling over a 5-year period was associated with at least a 35% lower risk of all-cause mortality when compared with consistent noncyclists. Meaning Cycling could be encouraged as an activity for persons with diabetes to lower the risk of premature mortality.. "  (Larsen et al., n.d.) **** Relevant Insurance Coverage: a.

Blood Pressure Monitor

Image
**** Relevant Background: “ Arterial blood pressure  is most commonly measured via a  sphygmomanometer , which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. [1] Blood pressure values are generally reported in  millimetres of mercury  (mmHg), though  aneroid  and electronic devices do not contain  mercury .… For each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between   systolic   and   diastolic   pressures. Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the   cardiac cycle   when the   ventricles   are contracting. Diastolic pressure is minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood. An example of normal measured values for a resting, healthy adult human is 120 mmHg   systolic   and 80 mmHg   diastolic   (written as 120/80 mmHg, and...
