I'm sitting here at work and I just noticed that two buttons on the right shirt sleeve of my Hugo Boss shirt sleeve are totally from the buttons on the left shirt sleeve. I didn't even notice when I was getting dressed this morning, but I started using a new cleaners...boy am I pissed.

The crazy thing is that didn't even tell me. I just happen to look down. Montgomery County residents please avoid the new dry cleaners at Rockville Town Square.

Am I the only one who has no idea what this means?

I meant to say that the buttons on my left sleeve are totally different than the ones on my right sleeve. If you're familiar with Hugo Boss shirts their buttons are usually thick and pearly, very nice. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue when it comes to pressing these shirts. The buttons can get huge cracks in them and basically break apart. I'm assuming that's what happen when I took this shirt to a new cleaners. The cleaners tried to replace the buttons ruined during the pressing process with buttons that look nothing like any other button on the shirt. These buttons are flat and stupid looking. I'm an idiot because I didn't even notice until 3 hours of my wearing the shirt.

W/ thick pearly buttons you must specify (and pay) "hand press", and even then you are taking your chances. Otherwise their destructosteamer press will destroy them. This is the case w/ all dry cleaners in Montgomery County (and all points beyond)....
