Just a shot in the dark, in case someone here is local to me.
Long story short, I took my favorite suit to the place that does my shirt laundry after asking them if they knew how to press men's suits properly. They have early 5 stars on yelp and they haven't ruined a shirt yet, so I figured they'd be OK... I just wanted to get the rumples out of the back of the coat you get from sitting sometimes, and freshen up the crease in the pants and get the little wrinkles out of there.
The pressed it horribly. The coat is completely flat, they creased the lapels all the way to the button and mashed them flat, pressed a crease in the sleeves like they would a dress shirt, and even made some new, random creases at the bottom of the sleeves, and in the tails near the vents. Not withstanding the not knowing how to properly do a coat, returning it to me with NEW and worse wrinkles than I started with, plus bubbling along the lapels and over one of the pockets, is really dismaying. I mean, how do you make it WORSE and still give it back?
I think they literally laid it flat on the shirt press and just smooshed it. Now I have to find someone to repair this and I'm frightened to give it to anyone. I don't have a good experience with any other cleaners, my tailor is 45 minutes north, my old tailor is 30 minutes south (and I don't know if he'd press it for me since I have abandoned him) so they're not handy.
Any local recommendations for cleaners or someone else who can properly press would be appreciated.
As I said, I know it's a long shot. But I'm super annoyed and want my beautiful suit back to awesomeness.
