If you tend to wear a particular size in business attire, keep these dimensions in mind when shopping for an overcoat. If you’re unsure, visit a professional tailor or buy a fabric measuring tape and find out for yourself. In most cases, your optimal overcoat size will correspond exactly with your suit size, as modern overcoats are sized to fit over a suit jacket or sport coat.  A size 42 overcoat will not be exactly 42 inches (106.7 cm) around the chest. The sizing number is listed to match your suit size, but will actually be a couple of inches bigger to accommodate the suit underneath. If you usually wear a 42S size in a suit, consider having your overcoat sized 42R or even 42L to get the right fit. In general, an overcoat shoulder fits slightly long and loose because its primary purpose is to envelop the body and cover the clothing beneath. Wrap a measuring tape around the thickest part of your chest. For most men, this will be just under the armpits. Let your arms rest at your sides while measuring so that your chest will be fully expanded and in the most natural position. This measurement will tell you how large your overcoat needs to be in the chest.  It’s usually a good idea to buy one size larger based on chest measurements so that you’ll have ample room to move comfortably in your coat. If your measurement is between sizes, round up.  Having a friend or loved one lend a hand in the process can help give you a more precise measurement. Lay the measuring tape down the side of your arm and measure the distance from shoulder to wrist. Keep your arms bent with your hands on your hips. This will ensure that the sleeve will be long enough not to pull too high when you bend your arms. Overcoat sleeves need to be a very particular length, so finding out the length of your arm span will help you end up with a coat that fits perfectly.  For overcoats bought off the rack, a chest measurement will probably be all you need. However, if you’re having an overcoat made or altered specifically for your figure, you’ll need to get more detailed measurements of your upper body. Overcoat sleeves should be long enough to cover the sleeve of your sportcoat and the cuff of your shirt when worn. Know your exact height and be prepared to let a sizing professional know if you take the more expensive tailored route. Overcoats come in several different lengths. Full-length coats are the most traditional and cover the body almost all the way to the ankles. ¾ length coats are a more popular modern fit and tend to come down to around knee level on most men. Decide which style you prefer and how your height will play a factor in sizing the coat.  If your measurements are somewhat unusual (if, for instance, you’re shorter in stature but have long arms), you may be better off having the garment professionally tailored to ensure a proper fit. These days, ¾ overcoats are favored by young professionals and are almost always sized to be slimmer and more fitted. Whether you're buying a coat off the rack or having one tailored professionally to suit your frame, give it a test run to see how it fits. Put the coat on and move around a little, observing how movement causes the coat to tense and draw up on your body. An overcoat should fit comfortably and loosely over a suit, so if it feels snug in any area above the waist, consider moving up a size.  Discuss alterations with a tailor or seamstress, even if you're buying a coat off the rack. An overcoat that is too big can be altered after the fact to better fit your physique. Little can be done to modify a coat that is too small. Look for areas with excessive creasing, tension or bunching. This usually signifies an improper fit.

Summary: Use your basic suit size for reference. Measure across your chest. Measure your arm length. Keep your height in mind. Try on the overcoat to see how it fits.


The gasket is the rubber ring that runs along the opening of your washer's drum. This is what creates a seal to prevent water from leaking out of your washing machine. Open the washing machine door as wide as you can and peel back the rubber that runs around the opening. The gasket will remain fixed to the washing machine, but you can pull it open to clean it and make sure nothing is stuck. Once you've pulled back the gasket, check for any objects between the rubber. Sharp items can damage the gasket and the washing machine if you run the machine. Always check the pockets of you clothes and remove items before washing them.Common foreign objects include:  Hair pins Nails Coins Paper clips If you notice hair in the gasket, this means that particles from your clothes are building up on the clothes. If you have pets or people with long hair in your household, you should check the gasket for hair at least once or twice a week. If the gasket looks dusty, you may need to occasionally keep the door on your washer closed. For example, if your dog will be crated in the laundry room overnight, keep the door closed. Dust builds up on the gasket when dust or lint from your dryer or laundry room floats around and lands on the gasket. Cut back on dust particles in the air by regularly changing your lint trap. If you see black spots, your washing machine is growing mildew. This means that the gasket isn't getting dry enough between uses or your soap is leaving behind too much residue. This moisture causes the mold to grow. To remove mildew, spray down the gasket with hot soapy water or a mildew cleaner. Wipe the cleaner away using a clean cloth or rag. You may need several cloths if the gasket is slimy with mildew. Keep spraying and wiping until your cloth comes away clean. To kill the mildew, add 1 cup of bleach into your empty machine and run a hot cycle. You should also pour 1/2 cup of bleach into the detergent or fabric softener compartment to ensure that your entire machine gets clean. After the cycle is done, run a few more cycles through without adding any bleach. This will remove the bleach smell from the machine before you wash clothes in your machine again. If you notice black mold on mildew spots after running your machine, you may need to put on gloves, a mask and scrub the spots using a bleach solution. Dip a toothbrush in a solution of no more than 10% bleach and scrub the mildew.

Summary: Locate the gasket. Remove any foreign objects. Check for dust or hair. Clean any mildew. Deep clean the gasket once a month.


With a text, you have 160 characters to send a great message. You don't have to reply to your crush's text instantaneously. Deliver a response after you've had some time to think about it. Make sure that you have an unlimited texting plan or that you are tracking the number of texts that you send carefully. You don't want you or your parents to get a nasty surprise when the cell phone bill arrives. Abbreviations can make you look shallow and flighty. Save the abbreviations for your BFFs and use complete sentences and capitalization when you text your crush. Smilies or sad faces are okay, but you need to be pretty certain that your crush likes you back before using a flirty emoticon. Definitely be at least 99% sure that they like you before using a love emoticon. Don't text them too often. Texting once or twice a week is good enough. You don't want to look desperate.
Summary: Take your time. Avoid racking up phone charges. Skip the abbreviations. Use emoticons with caution. Make sure your crush starts the conversation at some point.
