We're coming to the end of the season
for formal and charitable events. So we're seeing many tuxedos
coming through our doors. I can say with great assurance almost
every tuxedo
brought in,
sent in or
mailed in by a new client exhibits damage to one degree
or the other.
Typically, the damage involves one or more of the following:
- excessive shine
- melted or burnt satin or polyester lapels (sometimes with hand
iron plate imprints)
-
hard pressing
- heavy seam impressions.
When we point out these issues, most new clients are unaware of
the fact that their tuxedo has been "damaged". Naturally, the most
frequently asked question is: "Can you fix or mitigate the
damage?"
The answer is generally "yes". In the worst case scenario - that
of a melted or burnt lapel - we've even gone so far as to replace
the entire lapel.
Here is an example of what can be accomplished by a skilled dry
cleaner:
