I bought this Uniqlo polyester fleece in November. It's already thoroughly squidged in pressure areas. Is there any way of re-fluffing it, or is it a goner? A clothes brush doesn't penetrate.

I'm attending an exhibition opening in a major European Antiquities museum as an outside creative who worked on a display - does this require me to wear anything more than pressed slacks and a blazer? a tie? Talk to me like I'm an older guy who generally avoids formal-ish gatherings, has zero fashion sense, who's current wardrobe is strictly work-from-home and doesn't know anyone else attending well enough to ask advice.

Which of the many sprays out there can I trust to protect the light colored suede and not to stain it when I apply the spray? [more inside]

I loved Aritzia TNAChill leggings. I am not a fan of their new cotton legging, the Hold It - they added more spandex, which makes it tighter and less breathable. The Chill were perfect for, well, chilling. Other specifications below: [more inside]

I am looking for a wool or alpaca sweater that is a green similar to the color of the ask metafilter page. Back in 2005 or so, this was a very popular sweater color and I used to own a green cable knit sweater that was perfect. I'm looking for either sweaters that fit the bill or places that sell quality wool/alpaca sweaters to search. [more inside]

I have gotten older and so, sadly, has my hair. I hate it. Even though it's not entirely gray, it's thin and lifeless and very flat on top. I keep seeing ads for special shampoos for the aged. I have never really been an expensive fancy shampoo person, is it worth it? Or is this a styling thing? Recommendations, suggestions, ideas? [more inside]
