Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Do you guys clean your dress chinos in the washing machine or exclusively dry clean?

I asked the same some time ago, but got no answers.

I asked the support and they were quite fast (as always).

As we have stated, we recommend dry cleaning. But as you wrote, there shouldn't be any problems in the machine as long as you use the hand wash or low temp with light cycle.
Something I think you should do is wash them before you take them to your tailor because they will shrink a bit in length.

I machine washed my standard dress chino at 20° C on wool cycle. The heavy weight dress chino I bought 2nd hand from here only went through one hand wash. Both are still alive.

@13.characters nice style tbh!

Thanks for the input. I might give it a go when the time comes, I am only concerned that the pleats might get twisted.

Yet again, my dry cleaner recently caught fire so I don’t really have an option I trust…

I machine wash all my pleated cotton trousers and also iron them myself. It may take some practice to iron the pleats, but I see no issues here. The only trousers I would avoid to wash myself are those made of wool or those with a lining or sth like this.

As always with cotton, after a day (already after an hour tbh) of wear they are full of wrinkles anyway, so no need to make science here in my opinion.

Now I know why I like Rubato, thanks!

Friends, I am selling an XL skipper polo from this summer that did not fit me--Because I bought it on sale, they would not let me return it. I would also be open to exchanging this for a size L of any of Rubato's shirts. Link to the Styleforum classified.

If you're in the European Union and bought it from their online webshop, they can't deny a return because it was on sale. A lot of web shops claim this, but it's in violation of the EU's right to withdraw.

Edit:
I just checked Rubato's return policy. It states:

All sales of special priced products/discounted items are final. When purchasing an item that is discounted/special priced/on sale or at a Pop-Up event you waive the right to return the item.

If the item is bought online, this clause is sheer nonsense and can be ignored.

If you are indeed from the EU, this shows Rubato's bad customer service and straight up illegal commerce practice.

I live in the USA where it often feels our consumer protection laws exist to troll consumers I agree though, especially since this policy was in small font on a different webpage, and not on the page of the shirt. I wouldn’t have bought the shirt otherwise. But alas, one lives and one learns.

Anyone know of an alternative to Rubato's cotton knits? Rubato knits are just too short for me (and 400 euro for cotton is way too much).

I feel the options I find are usually chunky and rustic, or something thin, smooth and too smart-looking. Looking for something that's not too thick but also with some character, if that makes sense.

I haven’t checked measurements, but the Permanent Style cotton knit made by Speciale? Probably not cheaper, if cheaper at all - but the Speciale knits seems great quality.

Nice looking knits, but yes, quite expensive and still quite short, unfortunately

That’s too bad. I tried the Speciale ones in L and XL and found them perhaps a tad too short (I’m 6’4), but I know PS added a few inches or so - so I just assumed it should be good.

I'm just a little shorter than you, but I have quite a long torso and tend to wear midrise trousers. Looks like the size L is 67 cm which is really pushing it for me. The bare minimum I can do is about 68 cm or I'm showing midriff if I raise my arms ha

Interesting, I've seen brands in the US frequently selling non-returnable items (archive sale, factory seconds, etc) and thought it was common practice for these kinds of articles.

Maybe if the buyer reaches out to Rubato and mentions the EU law thing they could offer a return?

They should, in EU it's against consumer law to deny return on online bought items - you have the right of withdrawal for any items bought online from companies registered within EU within 14 days from receival. Be it final sale or whatever, doesn't matter.

It's pretty strict, I'm pretty sure Rubato would comply if asked and you're from EU. I did ask customer service for an exchange like 3 months in, and they accommodated that too, so their customer service is very helpful in my experience. Doubt they would deny a return if you are from EU. If you're from US, then I'm not that sure.
