The [[Stores|Engineering Stores]], known to students as Stores, located in the basement of the Sanford Fleming building is Skule&trade's very own book and clothing store. Although it carries exclusively first year textbooks, Stores earns the majority of its revenue from textbook sales at the beginning of each semester. Starting in the 2010-2011 Skule year, first year students are able to pre-order textbooks before the semester starts from the [Engineering Stores website]. | The [[Stores|Engineering Stores]], known to students as Stores, located in the basement of the Sanford Fleming building is Skule™'s very own book and clothing store.

In addition to selling these books to students, Stores also sells important Skule&trade merchandise such as sweatpants, Cannon polos, t-shirts, gym shorts, boxers, hooded sweatshirts, backpacks, patches, and many more items all adorned with symbols of Skule&trade pride.

[[Leather jackets]] are usually ordered twice during the year, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester. Out of tradition, students do not purchase their [[leather jacket]] until the beginning of their second year, as many students may change disciplines, or even faculties, after first year. Students generally adorn their jackets with their year and discipline, a common phrase such as 'SKULE', 'SPS', or '[[Engineers Rule the World|ERTW]]', and patches of the various organizations which they are involved in. | [[Leather jackets]] are usually ordered twice during the year, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester.

[[Coveralls]] are typically purchased by students in March or April of the first year. [[Coveralls]] provide an excellent way for Skule&trade students to show their Skule&trade spirit while giving them an item of clothing to get dirty in during practical activities. Coverall directions can vary greatly from student to student, from the simple addition of sewn patches to an elaborate circuit layout or other designs cut out of fabric and sewn on. | [[Coveralls]] are typically purchased by students in March or April of the first year.
