Recommendation for Chicago dry cleaner that can handle a 3/2 roll

[hangten]

OK, so I haven't had any problems but I am about to take one of suits for its first cleaning and it has a 3/2 roll. I am looking for a dry cleaner that won't press the lapel into a 3 button. Am I just paranoid and any competent cleaner should be able to do this? I work downtown and am in Lincoln Park everyday.

it really shouldnt be that difficult to do, if you have a steamer you could probably do it your self... if you like the dry cleaner you go to just ask them about it, they should be able to accommodate.

Steaming the Lapel is just bad advice IMO. It will ruin the factory pressing.

I have been looking for a Chicago dry cleaner that can handle Kiton/Borrelli/Brioni-level jackets. Barry Regent was mentioned as being a possibility. Does anyone have any experience with them? Some of these reviews are quite troubling:

Check will's blogs. For the infrequency you should be cleaning a suit , Fedexing it to one of the recommended cleaners is worth it.

Call the department store/boutique and see what they recommend.

I took an Attolini sportcoat to Barry Regent and they were able to handle the 3/2 roll. I had to be very specific and spoke to a manager who entered the notes in their system. If you bring your coat to them make sure you are very specific on what you want.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven't used them yet but found an article on them a while back and wanted to give the a shot.

I HATED Barry Regent on Broadway.

Anyone know what Davis Imperial charges for cleaning a shirt?

 

[Lagavulin16]

I believe that they charge me approximately $12 for my Charvet, Borelli and Kiton shirts. As much as I love their service they are EXPENSIVE, however the work has always been excellent. I would only use them for the finest in your closest though. I use my local cleaners for all of my day to day wear as the prices at Davis are very high vs. the cost of some items.

The one thing that I will say is that you have to be very specific with Davis as they charge different prices for what they deem "couture". As an example, I picked up a Burberry plain white dress shirt last summer at the outlets down in Indiana for a last minute garden party. The shirt cost me $39 I think. For some reason it ended up in my Davis dry clean bag and it came back perfectly cleaned and pressed on a single hanger at the cost of $16, with the receipt reading "couture" or something like that. My MTM Robert Talbott never get this "couture" price, so it seems prices are sometimes dependent on label.
