There is a certain jacket (belstaff trialmaster) I want that is available overseas. (ie. the UK).
I was wondering would it be cheaper (or overall better) to purchase online from a retailer directly or getting someone to proxy to the US.
It's usually more expensive to go with a proxy, people mainly do it when dealing with stores that don't ship overseas.
I hand wash my shiz, such as RO, damirs, etc etc. except suits or anything has substantial amount of wool/cashmere, synthetic material. Those I get them steam cleaned/dry cleaned.
Most stuff that is dry clean only that is outwear/formalwear is only so because of the acetate lining that shreds in machines. woolens and cashmeres you can gentle handwash. edit: hows the construction/durability/quality on neil barretts stuff? i think im in love -___- now if only they had smalls in stock
