1. I have a suit made of wool and probably 1% mink, 1% cashmere (the labels are in abject conflict). There are two stains on them, possibly oil-based, and make the spot look "wet," as an oil-based stain does. How do I remove them? 2. Can wide lapels be narrowed? 3. What discount department stores near West Los Angeles regularly sell good suits? Are these prices generally competitive with eBay and STP pricing? I tend to get my suits from thrift shopping, but recently acquired a delightful Polo blue label, Corneliani I take it, from Marshall's. Nordstrom Rack and Ross are atrocious, and Loehmann's is a little too high-end, from what I saw. Looking to pay $300-$700 a suit, roughly, Corneliani/Hickey Freeman quality and up. General tips welcome.
1. If it's a very expensive suit that you want to find the best dry cleaner for, contact Shop The Finest owner @ 800-501-5384. He can recommend you the best dry cleaners, albeit at a price of around 100-200 dollars per suit. 2. Yes. Find a good tailor. 3. Again, call Ian from shopthefinest.com and set up an appointment with him in his warehouse. That's your best bet around L.A. I can't really name any other stores that carry high-quality suits at low prices.
