If our latest snow storm wasn’t proof enough, our beloved groundhog is calling for another 6 weeks of winter! As horrid as that sounds there are still a few things you can do to keep warm and protected from this merciless winter. For starters, if you haven’t already invest in a winter-coat, we still have several styles left to choose from. Secondly, invest in some great cleaning products. Salt maybe ideal for melting snow, but it’s like acid when it comes to anything else- especially your shoes. There are two main ways of removing salt stains from your shoes, the hard way or the Jason Markk‘s way. Our Jason Markk line-up has everything you need to stay salt free this winter.

Step 1: Jason Markk Quick Wipes

Quick Wipes come individually packaged making it convenient to have a couple on you at all times – whether you’re headed to the club, school, or…anywhere! Each wipe is dual-textured for the ultimate in cleaning versatility on the go! One side of the wipe contains small blue dots which offers a slight abrasiveness and comes in handy when working out tougher stains – while the softer white side is great for general cleaning.

 

Step 2: Jason Markk Essentials Kit

WHY WE’RE BUYING: G-LAB

November 26, 2014

At Gotstyle we pride ourselves on picking brands we know will bring great value to our customers. It’s less about how popular a brand is and more about quality, craftsmanship and whether or not it serves a need for our clients.
