A match made in ‘wardrobe’ heaven!

Two exceptional Menswear shops in Toronto Ontario have taken to heart the Reliable “buy well, and look after it well”, approach to wardrobe selection and care.

Barbuti and Ted’s Style Shoppe are not only serving their clientele with a remarkable selection of exquisite clothing and accessories, they are adding a dose of quality Reliable garment care to their retail mix.  Both retailers have dedicated display space in their stores to wardrobe maintenance.

With Steam Generator irons, Pant Presses, Garment steamers among other helpful items, those shopping for the holidays at these fine stores will also learn about the value of quality care for their purchases.  Both retailers are also providing shoppers with the opportunity to purchase Reliable products at the same time as they pick up a beautifully tailored suit.  Now that’s a good match.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SAYS WE’RE #2

Good Housekeeping April 2009

Good Housekeeping April 2009

I’m a pretty competitive guy by nature. So when Good Housekeeping magazine came out last week, and listed us as the #2 iron, my first thought was, “We’re not #1?”.

After a few minutes I realized what an accomplishment being #2 is. The Digital Velocity V95 is our first go at the consumer iron market. After years of making commercial grade ironing products, the V95 was a bit of a leap of faith for us. 

So while being #1 would have been great, I can say that being #2 is pretty cool too. The article goes on to say that the V95 (which costs $50.00 less than the #1 rated iron) was a “Close second in performance and it was best at smoothing wrinkles from silk and wool”. On their website, the full review says “If you need it, Reliable also offered the most helpful customer service of all the companies we called”.

I’ll take that any day.
