Suit trousers

[jenny82]

OH has wool suits he got made in Thailand. He wears them to work and they get dry-cleaned. It costs about £40 a pop though which we just can't afford atm.

My Q is - do they need to be dry-cleaned? There is no care label on them as they were made to measure. If I used a delicate cycle and ironed them really well, would that not be enough??

The worst that could happen is that I could wreck them and OH be left with no matching trousers for his suit jackets He might divorce me

Still so unsure!

Might be ok - still a chance though. We were talking about getting a trouser press, so I might just do that and then wash them less regularly.
