"Talked a little bit about protecting yourself in the sun, which is an important thing for us at Bill Jackson. Recently we lost a good friend of ours, a general manager of the store, Chuck Owen, to skin cancer, and just want to make sure people are thinking about it, keep that sun off of them, because it can really do yourself some damage later on in life. When you're thinking about sun protective clothing, I know it seems odd, but long sleeves. You know, put--cover that skin up on your arms. But even in hot weather, long sleeves is not necessarily something that's completely out of the question. If you use a fabric that is breathable, and wicks moisture and dries quickly. I actually do my yard work in shirts very similar to this one, to keep the sun off of me, and to stay relatively cool. Also, don't forget your hat, and the places that you can't get, sunscreen with a high SPF. If you have any more questions about sun protective clothing, contact your local outfitter, give them a holler."
