The Pocket Square

Jeeves was very fortunate this Christmas. Mrs. Jeeves was very kind and thoughtful (as always) and gave Jeeves the gift of a few more pocket squares for his collection.

The pocket square is considered by Jeeves as the most overlooked item in a well dressed gentleman’s wardrobe. To quote the Art of Manliness, “Don’t leave your suit naked.”

Well dressed gentlemen from Frank Sinatra, Sean Combs and Don Draper would never be seen without a pocket square.

Your pocket square should always pick up a touch of color from your tie, but never allow yourself to purchase a matching tie and pocket square, it is just too much.

A white pocket square can be worn with anything and it is Jeeves favourite. In fact Jeeves only wears a white pocket square.

Jeeves was at a holiday party last week and immediately struck up a conversation with a gentleman that he had never met before. The gentleman had a perfectly “4 point” folded pocket square (and in white!), this was an easy conversation starter.

Gentlemen, it’s high time for pocket squares, don’t leave your suits naked. And for Jeeves it is time for high tea.

For more information about how to fold a pocket square the Art of Manliness has a great post here.

When your pocket square and your suit needs a perfect cleaning, please do consider Jeeves.

For the love of luxury

“I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness or ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity.”

-Coco Chanel

Chanel has always been a presence both in and around New York City. With two retail locations just blocks away from our store on the Upper East Side, your man Jeeves has always loved the double C.

Not until recently however, did your man Jeeves realize that he and this fashion icon shared so much in common. As a gentleman it is only natural that Jeeves does not care for vulgarity, and typically keeps company that shares this.

Too bad for Jeeves that he and Coco were never able to discuss their love of luxury, their aversion to crudeness, or their appreciation for fashion.

As you all know Jeeves of Belgravia is the only international luxury garment care firm, so your man Jeeves would have been able to tend to all the needs of this legendary fashion icon. His reputation for quality and excellence most definitely precedes him.

Your man Jeeves can promise you service above the rest. His love for luxury items, as well as his staff’s expert training in this field guarantees your garments will be well cared for.

Eat, Drink, and be Merry.

With all the excitement surrounding hanging wreaths, putting up lights, and decorating the tree your man Jeeves almost forgot to clean his favorite tuxedo for the overwhelming amount of holiday gatherings his presence was requested at.

Jeeves has noticed that inside of his store is starting to resemble the twinkling lights all over New York City.  All of the lovely ladies who bring their garments to your man Jeeves have exquisite taste as their sparkling holiday collections would display.

The ornate details of crystals, sequins, and beads add to the fine elements of holiday glamour. They also require very careful cleaning . Lucky for you, with generations of experience your man Jeeves is able to pay extra attention to your festive garments, so that they will be in your holiday repertoire for years to come.

Here are some helpful holiday tips from your man Jeeves and his staff.

• Never cut a loose bead or sequin off a dress or skirt, for you may cause a whole row to fall off.
• Beaded and sequined items require special care as some ornate items are affected by ordinary dry cleaning.
• Ordinary dry cleaning may cause beading or sequined to melt or lose color.
• Unfortunately, most dry cleaners will not accept responsibility for beaded work, but at Jeeves our highly trained staff is able to clean any beaded garment no matter how complicated.

So as you eat, drink, and stay merry through the holidays remember that you can also keep your festive clothes fresh from one party to the next with the assistance of Jeeves of Belgravia.

From Science Fiction to Reality

The door clicked into a locked position, as the technician rotated the door hatch. She checked the visual indicator to make sure the seal was not breached and then glanced at the computer screen to initiate the pressurization sequence.

Carbon dioxide began to pump from the holding tanks into the chamber as the pressure went from sea level to 650 PSI.  The carbon dioxide began to transform into a liquid, exactly what the technician needed.

Once the desired result had been achieved, the cylinder depressurized, and the CO2 returned to its original state as a gas.

When the technician released the hatch and opened the door she witnessed something remarkable…

Her blouse and jacket from the night before had been cleaned. Perfectly.

If you’re thinking that your man Jeeves has a soft spot for science fiction, think again.  Described above is the Eco2 Cleanse process, available at Jeeves NY, and is the newest most technologically advanced way to clean clothes.

Little has changed since the evolution of dry cleaning over the last 150 years, and your man Jeeves has always understood the fundamentals of clothes washing, garments are washed in a liquid (either a petrochemical or water), soap is added to remove stains and then dried using heat.

CO2 dry cleaning changed every one of Jeeves’ beliefs about the cleaning process when he was first introduced to Eco2 Cleanse. Although clothes are still washed in a liquid, the physical properties of CO2 allow clothing to be cleaned in a heat free environment so they are removed from the machine at near freezing temperatures.

Your man Jeeves has really outdone himself this time with the level of cleaning he is now offering clients due to his exclusive use of CO2 on dry cleaning. This method far surpasses any other dry cleaning method out there.  Jeeves is also preserving your wardrobe by subjecting your garments to less wear-and-tear with his new system!

CO2 dry cleaning right now is very rare with less than 25 firms in the world using this type of technology. Lucky for all you residing in Manhattan, Jeeves of Belgravia can offer you this service, and you can join your man Jeeves in his innovative industry changes.

The CO2 process is also the only method of dry cleaning that has been approved as safe by the EPA.

For dry cleaning New York you can choose traditional dry cleaning which has not evolved in 150 years or turn to your man Jeeves and his new process that is Simply Green, Simply Clean and Simply Better for You.

Sheer Vanity

The ladies that visit your man Jeeves at work are always simply sublime.  With their perfect coif, ruby lips, and flawless skin it is difficult to comprehend the effort behind the beauty.

A recent study produced by Bionsen, a natural deodorant company provides some shocking information about the harm that can come from indulging in beauty products.

Jeeves was very alarmed to learn that the average American woman uses 10 products per day, exposing her to 515 chemicals!

As a gentleman of distinction, your man Jeeves has no intention of marching into Bergdorf Goodman and telling them what they are doing is wrong and harmful. Instead, he can remove one chemical from their lifestyle by cleaning their garments in his luxurious Eco Cleanse process that gently cleans clothing in liquid carbon dioxide.

Jeeves recognizes that the women of New York  may not be ready to clear their shelves of beauty products and go for a more natural look; but being able to offer them all natural dry cleaning is a great start.

Jeeves is the only luxury New York dry cleaner which does not use any petrochemicals in the process. All garments cleaned at Jeeves are cleaned in liquid CO2. Jeeves is one of only 13 firms worldwide to use this process.

Leather in this weather?

Your man Jeeves thought leather jackets were a thing of the past. Not since the music styling’s of The Ramones and Billy Idol had leather infiltrated the fashion scene.

On his nightly stroll down Madison Avenue Jeeves could not help but to take note of the fact that the models in all his favorite store windows were sporting leather in every hue, texture, and style.

As he continued on his way home your man Jeeves became very aware that this “style” had leapt of the mannequins and onto every gentleman and young lady on the Upper East Side.

Jeeves’ leather & suede department can:

• Clean any leather or suede garment
• Finish restoration
• Color restoration
• Repair tears or damaged skins
• Replace damaged or worn linings

Jeeves may not appreciate the look of leather and this trend, but rest assured whether your jacket is old or new his staff will treat it with the utmost care and special attention to return your jacket to its original condition.
