why is every single high end brand dry clean only across the entire line?
Because their fabrics are so shit quality that they literally fall apart any other way
>>18609020>0% knowledge, 100% feels
>>18609019>comme des garcon >high end brand
>>18609019Cause you don't buy the right high-end? Unless you talk trousers and jackets, in which case the answer is because of the lining. Knitwear and shirts at usually hand wash at the worst. In e.g. The Rows case even all their silk shirts (that retail for 1500 to 2000 bucks) are hand wash. Also something saying dry clean doesn't mean it needs to be dry cleaned. Company's just say that to make sure. But you can always wash e.g. silk shirts in cold water.
>>18609021That does seem to be the motto of every high end brand, yes
>>18609025I'm referring to the price point, any house with publicized runway shows I'd consider "high end"
>>18609030What type of clothing are you referring to specifically. Cause if it's trousers, jackets, coats then you simply can't wash them for construction reasons. Nothing the company can do about it. Tshirts, shirts, knitwear you can usually wash. So what are you whining about (unless its that wool shirts have to be dry cleaned, which is something is find really fucking weird as well and would love an explanation for).
Allow me to let you in on a little secret. Dry cleaning is a meme for the most part. Get a steamer or a steam iron that allows for vertical steaming and you won't have to bring your shit to cleaners more than once ever couple years. We live in comparatively clean societies. Your shit is hardly ever so dirty that it needs to be dry cleaned. You can get rid of dirt with water and kill bacteria and everything else with steam. Almost everything can be steamed.
>>18609036This 100% cotton button up
>>18609054Wild. But not like it has to make sense. Charvet is an expense as fuck formal shirting label and some of their shirts (all the same price and made from cotton) are dryclean, some 30 degrees max, others 40 degrees. I've stopped trying to understand it. I simply don't buy shirts that are dryclean only, out of sheer principle.
>>18609054good idea going forward
>>18609019Not every single high end brand is dry clean across the entire line.Aside from suits, none of my designer brand pieces are dry clean only.>>18609054Because of the dye, it will fade slightly if washed in water.That said, you can wash it in water regardless, it won't lose much of its color.
