article: These cleaning materials may damage collars made from natural materials, including cotton, wool, and leather. However, they are both effective options for removing grime and odor from synthetic materials. An alternative method for synthetic collars would be to add them to a load of laundry in the washer/dryer. The detergent, hot water and heat from the dryer all help to sanitize the collar/leash. There is a padded/porous bag available that will eliminate the banging/clanging noise and protect the washer/dryer and other items in your load. Take the collar off the dog before you get started. Make a solution of equal parts white vinegar and baking soda. Soak the collar for 15 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can submerge the collar in hydrogen peroxide for about an hour. Rinse out the collar after it's done soaking. Wash it in soapy water if you used hydrogen peroxide. Shake gently to remove some water, then place on a towel or hang it up to air dry.

article: The best local resources for retro clothing are thrift shops, Salvation Army stores and resale shops. These places also have the lowest prices, but a little digging is usually required to unearth quality items. Don’t be overwhelmed by the massive selection, but be prepared to really dig in. Move boxes around, look under things and pull out clothing from the bottom of the bins. You never know what you might find!  Check the glass cabinets near the registers, as well. These are generally locked, and for good reason – the best things are often in them. Find out from store management how often they replenish their stock and check back frequently. Boutiques that specialize in retro and vintage clothing can be excellent resources for building your wardrobe. The same is true for antique shops. The selection is often much better and less digging is required to find the good stuff. Unfortunately, you can also expect the price tags to be higher than what you’d find at a thrift shop. If you’re considering making a significant purchase at a boutique, ask the shop assistant to go over the details of the piece with you.  If a garment is very expensive, look for designer tags. If it’s not a designer piece, ask about the price. Don’t make a purchase unless you are completely satisfied with what they have to say. Always run your hand over the fabrics to check their condition before you make a purchase. Look for holes and stains. You can’t expect perfection from used items and signs of wear should be expected. However, don’t let a minor defect stop you from buying a piece you really love. Evaluate any flaws you find realistically. Sometimes garments can be dry cleaned or repaired, but not always.  Think about the size of the defect, where it’s located on the item, and whether or not it’s still wearable if you can’t fix it. In general, the older a garment is, the more fragile the material will be. Moth damage is a risk, especially with natural fibers. Hold pieces up to the light to look for threadbare fabric and holes. Local thrift shops can only offer so much in the form of quality retro pieces. Websites like eBay and Etsy can provide a vast selection of additional items that would be difficult to find in a resale shop. The downside is that you can’t touch the fabric or evaluate the size before you buy something online. Inspect the images closely. If you aren’t satisfied with the provided images, request additional ones from the seller.  Online retailers should provide measurements. Don’t rely on the size identified on the tag.  Make sure details are provided about any damages or irregularities. Find out the seller’s return policy and keep that in mind when making decisions. Often, sales are final. The sizing systems for vintage clothing are generally not identical to modern sizing systems. Sizes can vary from decade to decade, and also by manufacturer. Because of this, it can be difficult to figure out if something will fit you just by looking at it. Do a little research on basic sizing systems for the eras you’re interested in. When in doubt, go for pieces that appear slightly too large. These can always be tailored to fit you just right, but there isn’t much you can do with a garment that is too small for you.

The iconic 1967 Chevy Impala that the Winchester brothers cruise around in hunting monsters is Dean's baby, and an important part of his identity. Dean insists on taking the wheel at every opportunity, and while you should be responsible when driving, you too should have a close connection to a classic car if you want to be like Dean.  Give your car a cool nickname. In honor of his love of classic rock and, in particular, the band Metallica, Dean christened his car "Metallicar." Similarly, you might use one of your favorite bands to name your classic car. Although Dean is almost always seen in his '67 Chevy Impala, he has on other occasions driven cars that might inspire your classic car selection. Two models worth mentioning are the 1976 Dodge Aspen and 1972 AMC Gremlin. When driving around, Dean is almost always enjoying some good old classic rock. Some artists he is fond of include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult and Metallica. Or you could train your musical sensibilities in that genre by tuning in to a your local classic rock radio station.  Dean isn't just a fan of the classic rock sound; he knows his favorite bands in the way only a true fan can! Pay attention to the trivia you hear from classic rock DJs so no one will think you're a less dedicated fan than Dean. There are many different sub-genres in classic rock. You might benefit from a class on the history of music at your local community center, community college, or university. You could also devote some personal research into the different kinds of classic rock. Flannel is rugged, masculine, and is a regular part of Dean's wardrobe. Being more of a typical man's man, you won't see Dean wearing the nicer clothing his brother Sam does unless he has a good reason for it. Dean isn't afraid, however, to proudly wear items that have emotional significance to him, like the amulet/necklace he wears daily that he received from his brother. You might fashion an item a sibling or loved one gave you into a memento necklace. For example, you could weave a coin given to you by a favorite grandparent into a bracelet.
