Only a little bit of a distinct tackle a verse this morning. I don’t suppose I’ve ever used a clothes accent in a instructing earlier than however as they are saying there’s a primary time for every part.
Are you conversant in collar stays?
Once I was in highschool and would iron my dad’s gown shirts it was necessary to recollect to place the collar stays in place after I was completed. I did the identical factor for Dave once we have been first married. All of the nicer gown shirts got here with collar stays. They saved a person’s collar for rolling down; they have been stiff, inflexible and saved the collar trying freshly pressed. It offered an expert picture.
Why am I speaking about collar stays and the way do they apply to right this moment’s instructing?
