Taking care of your garments effectively has at all times been central to the PS philosophy – it’s not sufficient to purchase higher issues, they have to be cleaned, altered and maintained. This requires time that many people appear to have valuable little of nowadays, nevertheless it’s value it.
To that finish, we’ve at all times maintained a London web page that lists the locations we advocate for cleansing, repairing and altering. Readers ask about it so usually that typically I feel it ought to have a everlasting hyperlink within the menu – and other people don’t appear to at all times discover it that simple to search out.
Anyway, an even bigger failing is that we don’t have an inventory for different cities, so I requested a number of manufacturers, tailors and readers in New York which locations they advocate, and have put collectively an inventory on that foundation.
It’s certainly not complete, so please let everybody know within the feedback which locations you advocate. And I wouldn’t be afraid embrace anyplace within the US, given we’re not going to broaden to different US cities quickly.
If sufficient folks advocate someplace, I’ll add it to the primary checklist. Please recommend something for cleansing, repairing or altering any sort of clothes.
