I just got a suit back following a first visit to a dry cleaner. When I removed the plastic, the suit felt extremely stiff and rough, as if it had the hell starched out of it. I called the cleaner to ask what they had done, and the woman told me it was "sizing," not starch, and pitched it as good for the suit. Is anyone familiar with this? I can't find a lot of info on the web other than the technical description in page 9 of this file:

Sounds like sizing is sometimes used in the manufacture of a fabric or garment, but I have never heard of a cleaner just applying it to a suit as standard procedure (or applying it upon request, for that matter). Aside from the aesthetic issues with respect to the way the suit now drapes and feels, is sizing good or bad for the fabric?
