Which clothes do you professionally launder or dry-clean as opposed to home machine wash?

Someone was telling me they take all of their polos to the cleaners because they shrink at home. Another friend told me their have all of their jeans professionally laundered at the cleaners as well. My wife and I tend to just wash ours at home but don't put them in the dryer to avoid shrinkage or fading. The only think I take to cleaners are suits, sportscoats, and dress shirts.

I wouldn’t be caught dead in EOL without some professionally pressed jeans.

The only things I take to the drycleaners are my suits and suit shirts. Everything else I wash, iron and starch at home. I notice a slight fade in my slacks after a while but using woolite dark and cold water helps delay they fade.

Dress shirts (light starch), casual button-downs (no starch), and cashmere sweaters all go the the cleaners.

Suits only.
I don’t wear button downs unless I’m going to a wedding or funeral.
All of my polos are golf polo’s and the stretchy material. Same with pants and jeans. The don’t shrink and don’t wrinkle. Don’t think I could ever go back to wearing cotton. Its hot and uncomfortable

I take some of my cargo shorts, but especially the camo ones, to the cleaner. I cannot have my camo cargos fading. We are not cavemen, after all.

Only a suit or maybe a wool jacket I get dry cleaned every few years. I just buy no iron shirts and pants these days and wash them at home. They don't look quite as good but good enough.

My assless chaps are dry clean only

Wash your jeans inside out.

used to own a dry cleaner in Ft. Worth, all of the macho cowboys bring their jeans to the cleaners and they all want extra heavy starch, not exaggerating to say you can stand a pair of those up by themselves

Suits, sport coats, dress clothes in general. Also bring anything wool. I always used to bring my BDU's to the cleaners for that extra starch press job to make those lines pop. They used to stand up on their own. However, if you're old lady can't iron your pants or shirts for you, find a new sammich maker.

A man that has been doing this with his wranglers since 1985. Back in the 80's starched, creased jeans, and a starched, crisp, white shirt was sort of the thing. Lots of those guys still send their jeans to the cleaners.

I wash 5's and tens at home and launder the rest.

Can easily do this at home. Margin for error is a lot greater with jeans than slacks

I get all my Ed Hardy and Affliction shirts dry cleaned and pressed along with my True Religion jeans.
Posted on 10/14/21 at 10:03 am to jbraua
I wash almost everything at home. I’m well below average height/size, so I usually want everything I buy to shrink a bit.
I get formal gowns professionally cleaned and that’s about it.
