I have a pair of cream linen walts with a bad case of coffee spill. It says no washing machine, dry clean only.
What would happen if I was to clean them at 30° with low tumble dry (my machine goes as low as 400 rpm) ?

Also how do you guys clean your tweed wool rivets?

As we speak, Mike and I are en route to New England Shirt Co. in Massachusetts, listening to copious amounts of Action Bronson with the express purpose of bringing you our next round of factory finds:
700
We haven't done ends for friends with New England for 3 years and we'll be offering tons of killer fabrics - you guys are really going to enjoy this round (as are we)!


Which collar will these have? The usual longer-ish points or will these be scaled small like the Gitman?

Dry clean the wools - there are websites out there that will tell you what to do if you need to spot-clean wool with something (I've used corn starch to remove oil from a pair of wool Walts).


Linen is a very tough fabric. Again, look at a website on how to get something specific out of linen. I vaguely remember getting coffee on a linen shirt and used a specific ratio of warm water to vinegar (?) for a soak, then scrub, then launder and it worked great. The shirt was/is pink and doesn't show the stain.

I wish someone would hurry up and buy that speckled French terry knit bomber off the sale page... My willpower recedes a little more every day...

I'm shocked it's still there. It was a good buy at regular price.
