added zippers to the pockets, based on member feedback.
Members are looking for stretch and
comfort in their attire, says Marshall Krake,
wear and travel attire. It is no longer limited to
the athletic world, allowing for more comfort
and flexibility in pants and shorts.
High-end English Laundry five-pocket
pants are new this fall and available in four different colors. They are very comfortable and a
great way to update your wardrobe. You can wear
them to work or out to dinner, but they are also
great for everyday casual wear, with color
textured prints and subtle stretch
(they’re ;; percent cotton and ;
percent spandex).
“We are always looking at
ways to increase the quality
and value of our items,” says
Geoff Shavey, general merchandising manager in
apparel. “Whether it’s
adding a little more
stretch for comfort or
increasing the weight
of the fabric in an item
to benefit the overall
durability, members
can trust that once they get
home and try on the items,
they will be satisfied
with their purchase.”
Undergarments
Costco is carrying a few new items
in the underwear department this fall. The
Nautica men’s boxers (;;;.;; for a three-pack,
compared with ;;; retail) are ;; percent Modal
and ; percent spandex, so comfort is a given.
After having two children, I am especially
excited to try out Jockey Skimmies Slipshorts
(;;;.;; for a two-pack, compared with ;;;
retail). They come in nude and black and are
made of nylon, spandex and cotton to create a
flattering “Really, you had a baby?” look.
Costco also carries Jockey’s seam-free
bralette two-pack for just ;;;.;; (compared with
;;; retail) and sizes S–XL are available.

The popular Kirkland Signature pajama set

with improved quality this fall. They are just
;;;.;; for a three-piece set (one top and two bottoms), compared with ;;; for a comparable
two-piece set, so I am going to stock up on

My ;-year-old is going to be
thrilled with her new food emoji
soft fleece set by Butter Super
Soft. With savings of more than
;; percent over retail, this
cozy set is the gold at the end
of the rainbow.
I have spread the word to
all of my friends that Costco
will once again be selling Snozu
jackets for kids this fall. This marks
the ;;th year that Costco is carrying
Snozu—a sure sign of the brand’s durability and quality.
I marked my calendar to pay extra-special attention to the clothing section come
early August, and my fellow Costco fans, I suggest
you do the same, because the items I’ve mentioned won’t last long. Luckily, we can also order
from Costco.com. Please keep in mind that the
items mentioned are available in most (but not
all) Costco locations throughout the U.S. Happy

ments on our Facebook page when we

you from work through the weekend, Costco
