Suit Jacket Bubbling After Dry Cleaning

[SW1Y]

Doesn't look like bubbling in this picture. Looks like the inside pocket was folded in weird way or something wasn't flat in the lining and made an impression in the cloth when pressed. What has been tried to rectify the impression?

This.

Probably a thread or something that was left in between the lining and the cloth. Did your advisor at BB and/or your tailor actually bother to open up the lining and have a peek inside to see what's going on before blaming the cleaners?

I'd say that a decent dry cleaner will be able to repress your lapels properly (if it actually is 1818, there's probably no fusing in them) and if it's a thread or fold behind the cloth, he should be able to clean that up as well.

Show them where it hadn't bubbled before. He said he already went back to them about the issue. Granted, this thread isn't all too recent.

I might be totally wrong, but it looks like bubbling to me as the bubble line ends abruptly at the panel edge.





Was this a Southwick (made in the US / Own Make) 1818 suit or one of their Italian contracted jobs? I don't think this should have happened given that even the cheapest fused crap in the back of my closet can deal with getting dry-cleaned once and a while without the fusing delaminating (and some of that stuff is decades old). That said, it is possible you were the victim of a dry-cleaner that really is that terrible.

Dear Mt Tasker Dry Cleaners use broilers to produce steam , usually operating at 80PSI so by the time thw steam arrives at the various pressing stations it has dropped in temperature, dry cleaning irons are only steam heated, no thermostats with electricity , they do not burn , THUs dry cleaners cannot use TOO much heat . That is a lame excuse from manufactures that use inferior interfacing or have not set them correctl.y
