Owned by Norm and Nancy nud- dieson of Oshawa, their new adven- ture clothing store features Tilley Endurables and Royal Robbins clothing. "Pearson Lanes is an extremely good location now, and with further expansion and completion, it's exactly what Whitby needed," say the Huddlesons. Tilley Endurables is a"'unique" line of durable adventure wear, made of 65 per cent polyester, 35 per cent cotton, and caters .to both men and women. All Tilley clothing comes with a five-year guarantee, except Tilley hats and Tilley double-seated shor- ts which have a lifetime guarantee. The washing instructions on some garments challenge their owner to "Give 'Em Hell." Being travellers themselves, the Huddleson's have worn Tilley's clothing (and still do) and "enjoyed it so much. "I always admired Tilley, the quality of his products and his mer- chandising methods," says Norm Huddleson, of founding his new dealership. Some Tilley adventure clothing has a velcro-sealed "stop-loss" pocket on the inside of the garment. This is "great" for travellers to keep their money, passport or valuables secretly safe inside, say the Huddlesons. Boaters should be aware that Tilley hats do float. Although Alex Tilley warns in his clothing catalogue that they "should not be used as a life preserver." Their Royal Robbins line is made of 100 per cent cotton. it was created by an American mountain climber, Royal Robbin, who wan- ted "a timeless classic look of honest, functional clothing, con- sistent with the outdoor spirit." The Huddlesons said that this is the first store in this area to carry Tilley Endurables and Royal Rob- bins. "Our customers are pleased to be able to purchase their Tilley's and Royal Robbins adventure wear locally," they said. The Tilley Endurables guarantee also offers the new owner some ad- vice on where to keep the guaran- tee. It reads: "You might want to keep this certificate in the bottom left drawer of your bedroom dresser. Then if you should forget where it is, phone us and we'll remind you." Store hours are 10-6 Monday to Thursday, 10 -9 Friday and 10 - 5 on Saturday.
