The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

[patrickBOOTH]

I have a steamer that I use every so often to attempt to kill bacteria, but I never dry clean them unless they are visibly dirty. I have used the high-end places here in NYC, Madame, Muerice, and another place where they do all of the work in a small shop. Honestly, I clean my stuff so infrequently I don't think it matters much, I just know my small local place does much better compared with places that send out their stuff to some rat infested warehouse in Queens where who knows what happens with it.

Shirts I wash and iron myself and I touch up pants weekly with the iron.

I use Jeeves in NYC. Pricy but worth it.

I treat suits a little worse than most treat raw denim.

Definitely have your suits, SCs, trousers, etc. professionally cleaned before storing them for the offseason.

I wear my 16oz Lesser suits year round.

I'm joking. You ever stand on a subway platform in the middle of a NYC summer?

 

[ThinkDerm]

which is your fave dry cleaners in NY? have you tried jeeves? @patrickBOOTH - anyone else can respond too

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Never tried Jeeves (never heard of it) I like Meurice the best actually.

 

[bry2000]

Hallak Cleaners for bespoke/high end things.

Meurice also does good work, but have not used them in several years since the day I decided to give Hallak a try.

I never heard of Jeeves either. Doubt I would try them unless there were a cost advantage.

Is that an heirloom ( vintage) fabric?
It looks like what I saw on older well-dressed men
when I was a kid (1950s). Even at that age I noticed
clothing.

Looks like R&T, but there is a line of 12/13oz worsteds that keeps changing its name. http://www.huddersfieldcloth.com/Products/The_High_Twist_Collection/1

Could be that. Or Dormeuil Sportex, which seems to keep coming in and out of the catalogue.
