That's good to hear. I was starting to think that maybe I should start considering dry cleaning more often but that is completely contradictory to the overall life of a garment.

Perhaps you mean "office is pants"

Surely a true gentleman, an anchorman if you will, wears no pants under his mahogany desk

I rotate 5 wool suits for work, each with 2 pairs of trousers, so 10 pairs of trousers in total and only get them dry cleaned 2 to 3 times per year.

I've never washed or drycleaned my suits before. I guess I don't wear them enough.

For regular slacks that are machine washable, I usually wear them about 4 times before washing.

Also it depends how you travel. I either commute by smelly Parisien RER train or more often by scooter. Either way, the trousers get dirty and in the case of last nights ride home through a sudden downpour, wet.
