TRAVELING INSPIRES A ‘REVOLUTION’
IN SENIOR’S CLOTHES

Despite being retired, John is incredibly busy. “We are very active and stay on the go all the time. We love to travel – but we don’t take tours or cruises – we like to travel on our own. Traveling caused a revolution in the way we think about clothes,” John said. “We buy a lot of our stuff from TravelSmith and places like that. I use a lot of high-tech clothes – they are lightweight, warm and easy to clean.”

The Nano-Tex travel clothing John wears from Eddie Bauer and Gap fit right into his new, more enhanced wardrobe. “When you travel you want to carry some clothes that will do double duty – keep clean but also look nice. I can wear the Eddie Bauer khaki pants just about anywhere – I’ve also found them to be softer than other khakis. Hiking has given us insight into high-tech clothes – like the Nano-Tex ones – clothes that don’t get dirty as fast, that don’t wrinkle as much, that can be washed and dried quickly.”

The clothes come in handy even when John isn’t off on some new adventure. “One day I was driving our truck and put my coffee between my legs. Someone stopped on the ramp and 20oz of coffee spilled all over my pant legs and on the floor. Because I was wearing the stain proof pants, a good bit of it just brushed off and the rest washed out. It beads up really well and doesn’t soak in real quick. I haven’t found anything yet that has stained them,” he said.
