How Secure Are your Pockets
The majority of Jeeves’ family still lives on the other side of the Atlantic, so he greatly anticipates their weekly chats. Your man Jeeves is a little behind the times and has not quite figured out skyping yet, so he still relies on the telephone. When he rang his youngest brother, Alfred this week they discussed a similar trend between their two businesses (Alfred handles luxury garments as well).
The conclusion that these two gentlemen came to is the astounding volume of items left behind in the pockets of dry cleaning clients.
A study conducted in the U. K. stated that almost 5,000 memory sticks and portable devices were found in pockets across 100 dry cleaners last year alone. This study was conducted by a security firm , Credant Technologies in an effort to emphasize why information on devices such as these should be encrypted.
Your man Jeeves does not care much for what this study is implying about the general public’s disposition, but does recognize the need for concern and precaution.
If you are someone who deals with highly personal or sensitive information Jeeves recommends that you not download unprotected information or other information to portable storage devices that if lost could lead to a breach in security or worse.
- Your man Jeeves has a few suggestions to help you keep track of your personal belongings:
- Empty your pockets when undressing
- Place items of value in a briefcase or purse
- If you must place them in a pocket check to make sure there are no holes
- Take a few extra minutes before sending clothes out to check your pockets
Rest assured that anything you forget to remove from your pockets before you send it to Jeeves for cleaning will be returned to you. Jeeves’ staff carefully attends to all pockets before cleaning to ensure that nothing is ruined or lost.
The Doctor is in
A recent discovery in the medical world inspired your man Jeeves to do a little research of his own. Doctors everywhere have been under the microscope ( quite literally) for their standard uniform involving a potential bacteria transmitter.
You may be wondering how this is even possible as hospitals are known to be among the most sterile places. The answer my friends is simple. The necktie. As I had mentioned in my post from last week there is a certain aura of professionalism and success associated with one’s appearance.
Especially in a field such as medicine individuals will undoubtedly have more confidence in a well dressed physician than a slovenly man. This being said you can imagine the uproar this is causing among medical professionals.
About five years ago, a study was performed right here in the city at the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens that involved 42 medical personnel. Your man Jeeves was shocked to learn that almost 50% if the neckties analyzed were host to bacteria that can cause pneumonia, blood infections, and more.
Before learning of the correlation between germs and ties your man Jeeves would have never assumed this to be an issue. Jeeves would only dryclean his ties if he were to have a little mishap while eating.
It is beneficial that your man Jeeves is so well informed because now he can share this valuable information with his clients some of whom practice medicine in Manhattan.
The streamlined ECO2 Cleanse process does a remarkable job of cleaning as many of you may already know, however you were probably unaware that it has also proven to be very effective at removing contaminants.
Research has been conducted that would suggest cleaning with CO2 kills germs more effectively than traditional drycleaning. Since research and testing are continuing this is not a FDA approved method yet.
Your man Jeeves would hate to see the tie go out of style so if you are affiliated with medicine in Manhattan in anyway please allow Jeeves and his ECO2 Cleanse process to help keep ties bacteria free.

Dressed to Impress
As you may know your man Jeeves always dresses to impress for that is customary of a gentleman. A well fitted suit and a nice tie are the perfect accessory to a well mannered demeanor.
The younger generation has have to fancy this style, and Jeeves has noticed that for both work and play these young men do not seem to be at a shortage of pinstripes, jiggers, and pleats. Recently, Jeeves was enjoying a nice afternoon in Central Park and discovered that The New York Times had observed this trend as well.
The article indicates that those who are in fact “dressing for success” are young men ranging from ages 20-30 and that your man Jeeves and his generation have taken a more casual approach to their wardrobe. It is also mentioned that this fashion change is widespread “from Madison Ave to the shopping malls” and that this is the cause of “the resurgence of the gentleman.”
Please forgive your man Jeeves for so openly disagreeing with this well respected publication, however residing just steps away from Madison Avenue but he is sure that the gentleman never left. Everyone knows Jeeves to be a gentleman and his clients are no different.
