Face masks are with us for the long run

 Summer is finally here, at least for now.  It's time to head off on socially distanced days out, or summer holidays with a difference.

It's certainly been a strange year so far and now face masks are with us to add to the mix.  They are another item to add to the check list before you leave the house. I have forgotten mine once or twice, so now have them stashed everywhere, handbags, rucksacks, car, husbands car, pockets you name it there's some there.   They are going to be with us for the foreseeable future so its best to have a few.

I find it quite interesting to see the different designs and shapes people wear.  

As I started to design the Jacwicks range, I tried them out on family and soon realised one size or shape does not fit all.  I set about trying to fix this by modifying the shapes, added pleats to the nose and chin areas for a tighter fit and made the elastic adjustable so you can fit it to your face for comfort and fit. 

To adjust the elastic: Loop the elastic through the small loop on the mask, tie in a loose knot.  Next, loop the elastic over your ears, adjust to fit by gently pulling on the elastic until snug and secure.  Tighten by pulling the knot tie additional knots to secure once happy with the fit.  I recommend you tuck the loose ends under the chin to hide as you may like to readjust.  Once happy with the fit cut off the excess elastic.

Please follow Government Guidelines, wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face in public and stay safe.  For more information regarding the wearing of face masks check out the information from the UK Government's website.

The Jacwicks face masks are triple layered for that little bit of extra piece of mind .  There are a few patterns to chose from and you can even match some to Perches to have a totally coordinated look.

Where every you go and what every you do this summer, stay safe and enjoy that perfect place to Perch!
