Read the label. Only flags made specifically for exterior use should be displayed outdoors. Keep it dry. Avoid exposing your flag to rain, snow or abnormally high winds. These harsh forces can shorten a flag's life considerably. lf a flag gets wet, lay it out flat to dry completely. Do not fold or roll up a wet or damp flag. Clean your flag regularly to keep its colors looking bright. Avoid allowing dirt, smoke, dust or other airborne contaniments to "set" in the fabric and cause soiling or discoloration. lnspect your flag regularly for signs of wear. ln particular, look for "normal wear" on the fabric and thread breaks. This is particularly common on the end farthest from the staff. Trimming off and re-hemming torn or frayed ends will help extend the life of your flag.

For more tips on how to care for your flag or instructions on how to fold it, visit our Tip of the Month page.

Summer Travel Style Tips

http://view.exacttarget.com/?j:fe611572766703797112&m:fefb1376776706&ls:fe041t76... 81412008

Everyone wants to escape on vacation this summer, but packing can be such a hassle! Here are a few summer travel tips to help you look your best while having fun in the sun:

Stick with Neutrals. White, khaki, olive, black and brown can go a long way this summer! Men, throw on a white oxford and pair it with dark pants or a navy blazer. Women, add summer flare to your neutrals with a fun black and brown animal print shoe or bag. Twin Sets Offer Temperature Control. Don't neglect your twin sets (i.e. cardigan sweaters with matching shells) while traveling in the summer months. Wear them indoors for extra coverage and warmth, and shed the top layer when the temperature heats up. The cardigans can also provide a more appropriate look over a sundress or cute summer
top.

Dont Write Off Linen Completely. Linen and summer go hand in hand for a cool, comfortable look. Search for linens that have rayon in them to dissuade wrinkling. Pack them in hanging garment bags or plastic dry cleaning bags and hit the road. Create A Weekend Getaway Tub. After a long work week, the last thing you want is to waste precious weekend time packing! lf you travel often on weekends, fill a plastic tub with your favorite casual basics and toiletries. Pack the tub in your car for local travel, or transport the items directly into a suitcase for longer trips.
For more tips on traveling in style without the hassle, visit our Dressing Well page.
