Does this "someone" also run a drycleaning business? If he's not excessively bigger in physical size than you, I'd hit him on the head with a bat for saying stupid sh*t like that.
You're correct. You should regularly try to keep your cashmere jacket cleaned. If you do your research, moths are drawn to your body, which in this case, would be in the neck rear neck area and you sleeves. In addition to using moth balls or flakes, it is also imperative to keep your garment drycleaned. The other member (JayJay) is incorrect.
Dry clean it regularly, you will keep the moths away and ruin the fabric of your jacket.
Would it be ok to use the "hand wash" option on a washer w/ woolite to clean a Cashmere sportcoat? I was reading around and it seems like the consensus is - no dry cleaning.
