Patric is a Kentucky Native and has this to say about clothing:

"Clean clothes are a privilege. While the methods have changed, some things never will. We wear our lives stories-from first dates to wedding days to bundles of baby joy. When it comes to stains and the stories behind them, everything comes out in the wash."
