Actually, Now that I blew it with the comment above...

How do you get this far in life to be in a position to afford an Attolini and not know that.

Finally...You did take it off before you threw it in the machine, right?

Join a gym in order to slim down to fit the garment or else burn it.

Troll.

Ok. I should have added that I had put a few away before doing this, in hindsight , stupid thing. And my sister in law immediately made the suggestion about the washing machine, citing her husband's identical accident previously. Maybe the soon-to-be-ex and the sister-in-law are working together .
The stains did come out, however.

Yes, but it ruined your suit. Do you not see the fallacy of your logic?

Jon.

 

[Dr Gyggle]

I do. I do.
I was responding to a previous question about the stains.

I blame the aperitifs. Although I have to say the suit has/had seen its best days.

Did you miss the DRY CLEAN ONLY tags that are prominently displayed in every suit ever made?

 

[Knowledge is King]

Seriously, how the hell did you know enough to look for Attolini, a brand that basically only enthusiasts pursue, and not know that a washer would ruin it? This can't be real.

 

[Dr Gyggle]

Not having had thoroughly satisfying relationships with various cleaning services over the years, I'm not wholly convinced that one of the two or three I occasionally use wouldn't have screwed up this 'job' on this occasion either.
Maybe I should invest in a chain of dry cleaners offering a reliable service.

The cotton canvas H&M variety doesn't count.

Hmm... those two comments go as well together as... let me see now.... I know: a washing machine and a finely tailored woolen garment.
