When you go to the doctor and have to strip down into a gown, it can be a little uncomfortable. Care+Wear and Parsons School of Design are teaming up to change that. They collaborated on a new patient gown design. Chat Razdan, Co-Founder and CEO of Care+Wear, explains why his company decided to innovate patient gowns, which have largely remained the same for decades. Students at Parsons School of Design helped in the creation of the gown. They worked with eight New York City-area hospitals during the process. Care+Wear makes healthwear solutions for patients. The company started with PICC line covers, and has since branched out to include chest access clothing and its new patient gowns.

A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It’s a big deal.
Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines’ new policy will affect plus-size travelers. Here’s how
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
