Rabbit Air, the best air purfication system

Since your man Jeeves is the ONLY luxury dry cleaning firm in New York City to offer non-toxic, chemical free dry cleaning, we wanted to share this with you.  Since regular dry cleaning may affect air quality you may need this to preserve the air quality in your home.

From our friend Peachy Deegan of “Whom You Know“….

In our 2,600 plus posts, we have recommended many things.  You may or may not agree that the crab cakes at The Boathouse are as outstanding as we say, or think skin care is important as we do.  You may not think our adherence to the code of prep is commendable.  You may not even like Manhattan.  However, you cannot disagree with this: we all need clean air and air quality is measurable.    Rabbit Air makes the best air purifiers that we have experienced. We LOVE Rabbit Air.

We first told you Rabbit Air is good for killing germs for Sick Peachy Feel Better, then we told you it is good for the environment in Earthy Peachy.  We love it and now that we have it, we would not be without it.  Other air cleaners we have seen are not nearly at this high performance level.  We have been using it for a week, and we notice a big difference when we wake up in the morning if it has been on or not.  Everyone is stuffy in this weather, but not Peachy Deegan: she uses Rabbit Air.  She even stopped taking Sudafed.  We notice how if we burn a candle the Rabbit Air picks that up.  We notice if we burn something on the stove it notices (come on, you do not see a Chef Peachy here do you!).   Even when we open our door and step in the hallway we notice the air quality is just NOT as good.  We really don’t want to go outside now.

This is a machine that cleans the air like a performance auto goes from zero to 60 (or 80) in 5 seconds.  It is easy to assemble: you unwrap the filter parts from the packaging, reassemble it, and turn it on.  This air purifier even has mood lighting (blue, purple, light purple, pink).  We tested Model No. SPA-780A and we highly recommend it.  It is absolutely stunning in white.  We recommend all the designers get it in the tents for Fashion Week…

The filtration is serious; there are seven different sections that you will become familiar with during the unwrapping: Negative Ions, Filter Case, Nano-Silver Pre-Filter, Anti-Bacterial Medium Filter, BioGS HEPA Filter, Customized Filters (Toxin Absorber, Germ Defense or Pet Allergy) and Charcoal Based Activated Carbon Filter.

So, we highly recommend Rabbit Air.  ESPECIALLY for our Manhattan readers.  Let’s face it, as great as Manhattan is, it certainly could have better air, especially the part by New Jersey.  Every time Peachy Deegan leaves Manhattan, people she visits in the suburbs or country, north or south, make disparaging comments on how happy she must be to be in fresh air….well they can not make that comment again!  If you have Rabbit Air, you have fresh air, even in Manhattan.  We only wish Mayor Bloomberg could get a Rabbit Air big enough for the whole city!  Be a smart bunny and order yours now:

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.

Jeeves is renowned world wide for finest in garment care. Jeeves can clean or repair just about anything made of cloth, leather or suede anywhere.

Co2 Dry Cleaning = Best Cleaning Available

Co2 dry cleaning vs. traditional dry cleaning. The difference will astound you!

Actually from a cleaning standpoint there is no comparison. Our Co2 dry cleaning process, Eco2 Cleanse does a better job no questions asked.

For the last three weeks the Jeeves’ technicians (who have over 77 years of collective experience) have been working with our new Co2 dry cleaning machine and everyone of them were “wowed” by the results.

And this crowd is not typically  “wowed” by anything.  Seeing the final result of the Eco2 cleanse process , turned these skeptics into true believers.

Garments that were impossible to clean properly, can now be cleaned beautifully.

At Jeeves we were working on a Just Cavalli outer jacket that was very soiled (and that is putting it kindly). Cleaning this garment was an issue because it has white leather trim, fur trim, down filling and a silk exterior.

Traditional dry cleaning would  ruin the fur. The use of  a wet cleaning process would distort the fabric of the outer jacket and hand cleaning would never remove all of the embedded soil.

Eco Cleanse to the rescue! My techs have figured out how to safely clean just about anything using Co2 and they benefit besides great dry cleaning…

• Simply Green- No petrochemicals or perc. Garments are cleaned in the same substance that puts the “fizz” in soda.
• Simply Clean- Whites stay white, dark colors stay dark and colors are vibrant.
• Simply Better for You- Why expose your skin to harmful chemicals?

Luxury Dry Cleaning, Simply Green, Simply Better For You

Luxury dry cleaning in New York City just got a whole lot cleaner. Jeeves of Belgravia, New York is the ONLY luxury garment care firm in NYC cleaning exclusively in liquid CO2.

Why have we done this? Your man Jeeves has wanted to get away from using petrochemicals     (a cause of groundwater contamination throughout the country) for months now, and has finally found a solution. Perchloroethylene (perc) the most common dry cleaning chemical is also listed as a probable carcinogen by the EPA.  By Jeeves removing perc from his dry cleaning process he is hopeful that other dry cleaners will follow suit.

So called organic dry cleaning uses a chemical solvent made by Exxon-Mobile that is “organic” just like gasoline is organic.

Until now, there was not a suitable alternative that met the Jeeves standard.

Jeeves has invested in a hybrid CO2 dry cleaning system that cleans better than traditional dry cleaning. Jeeves’ process using CO2 is called Eco2 Cleanse.

Beverage grade CO2 is used in the Eco2 Cleanse process, the same gas that puts the fizz in your soda. New CO2 is not created for our cleaning process. In fact, all of the CO2 that we use is recaptured from manufacturing.

No other luxury garment care firm in New York City has CO2 dry cleaning. Yes, your man Jeeves is the only one.

Jeeves wants you to have dry cleaning which is; Simply Green, Simply Clean and Simply Better for You.

If you want to learn more about CO2 dry cleaning, here is more information.

Save Your Skins! or Leather & Suede Tips

Fall has arrived in NYC with Mother Nature giving us 30 degree temperatures one day and 70 degrees the next. Your man Jeeves has some tips to look great and stay warm on those chilly days when you reach for your leather jacket.

• Inspect your leather and suede garments before the first wear of the season. Look for stains, heavy soiling and repairs that may be needed.
• Repair open seams, torn linings and loose buttons now. These are all small problems that can be fixed inexpensively but can become expensive repairs if ignored
• If your leather or suede garment is stained or has heavy soiling, have it cleaned otherwise stains will become permanent! Cleaning adds conditions which keep leather soft and supple.
• Have leather items conditioned annually if cleaning is unnecessary.
• Consider having a “Shower & Stain” protection applied to suede items. This will potentially prevent spotting from rain showers and repel some stains.
• As leather ages it gathers a patina that adds to the character of the garment. Have fun wearing your leather!

If you do need any of the above services, our in-house leather and suede cleaning team can help.

Did you know that most other garment care firms do not clean leather and suede in house? So you never know where your garments are going.

If our leather and suede cleaning team cannot clean your garment, nobody can. Your man, Jeeves.

Whom You Know Panel of Experts Recommends Eau Flirt

This was sent by your man Jeeves’ good friend Peachy Deegan of Whom You Know…. let Jeeves know what you think.

We are pleased to present the facts:

Eau Flirt ®

The Scent of Seduction

You can hurry love…when you’re wearing the right perfume. Eau Flirt® eau de toilette puts science to the service of romance in a unique elixir containing ingredients proven to quicken the pulse of potential suitors. So dab it on your pulse points and let the seduction begin!
The world’s first perfume clinically proven to make men flirt with women

Eau Flirt was inspired by a study conducted at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation by two physicians. The study tested the effects of 30 different single scent or combined ingredient scents on male sexual arousal. The combination of lavender and pumpkin pie proved to evoke the most passionate response.

Eau Flirt’s proprietary blend includes top notes black currant, plum, raspberry, apple, and black licorice and lavender, middle notes of jasmine, ylang, nutmeg and cinnamon (the classic aromas of pumpkin pie), and a drydown of musk and rare and precious woods. Ingredients are all natural flower and plant essences and sourced from France, Italy and the U.S.

No animal testing has been done and it’s allergy tested with no artificial colorings.
To find a retailer or purchase directly, please visit www.harveyprince.com, www.fragrancex.com and specialty stores/high end perfumeries nationwide

U.S. suggested retail $98 for 3.4 oz. eau de toilette spray, 1.7 oz $66, and 1 oz. purse size $36. Mini roll-ons are $19

Eau Flirt is the newest perfume from Harvey Prince, the maker of Ageless (www.agelessfantasy.com), the first anti-aging perfume and a top seller in London’s prestigious Harvey Nichols.

**

And the fact is, we recommend it. A lot of scientific studies have been performed and although we got A’s on our term papers, we think you are more interested in what our credentials are for flirting and what our panel thought. Here’s what you need to know about the studies that were executed before the product came out: It was performed by an Ivy-League school, fragrance changes your perception of people, studies going back to 1974 were considered, and men overwhelmingly prefer women to wear perfume. And the components of this perfume are formulated with the most successful components of the study.

Although Peachy Deegan is a girl under the radar with her pseudonym, the fact is she is one of the best flirts around-the CBS Early Show even picked her to flirt on national television last year. She has been wearing it since she got it and has had some excellent responses!

Our panel of experts commented:

“Is it possible to have a seductive scent? Although skeptical, I was eager to give it a try! All the ingredients are natural flowers and plants, I love that fact that there is no testing on animals, and it has been allergy tested. The combination of lavender and pumpkin pie are proved to evoke the most passionate responses. So off I went for my evening out, I sprayed it on…..I am not sure if men wanted to flirt with me more than usual, or was it that I oozed confidence because I believed in the product, either way you should definitely give it a try!”

“I find Eau Flirt to be a delightful scent–mainly because I am not a perfume lover. I do not like to wear a fragrance that permeates a room or an elevator because it is too dominating. Eau Flirt, on the other hand, leaves a light and intriguing fragrance without overpowering. I love it for that!”

“Eau Flirt is very sweet and lightly spicy – not overpowering; it condours up the sensual feeling of wanting to be by the ocean…I love it!”

“Eau Flirt has just the cutest bottle. The bottle’s very sturdy but sleek design leaves no worries about spills in your bag. A vibrantly clean scent that envokes a flirtatious mood. One of the loveliest, fresh scents ever! One spray of this perfume lingers for hours. It has a crisp lime green color with even a crisper fresh, sexy scent. People have stopped me on the street to ask what scent I’m wearing – very flattering! It has a subtly exotic scent with spicy undertones….a feminine, glamorous quality. This fragrance is more refreshing than anything I have tried before, and it retains a freshness. It’s a keeper!”

“You can be a serious Flirt wearing this perfume! I tested it while on a bachelorette party bar hopping and the fun citrus scent lasted all night. It was a nice sweet smell without being overpowering and it received many compliments. The perfume is a great summer scent and I highly recommend it! Do not let the cartoon box fool you as the scent is very mature. Everyone asked me where I found out about it and I referred them to our great and informative blog- whomyouknow.com. Please let people know where they can get it - www.harveyprince.com – as many were interested in purchasing it. It is well worth the high price tag as I have never found a perfume which made me feel so young and vibracious!”

“When this fragrance was launched just less than 2 months ago, I was quite intrigued and eager to give it a test drive. It’s been clinically proven to attract men, hence doing some of the flirtation work for you, which sounds good to me, as flirting isn’t something that I’ve always excelled in. It’s also appealing to have something
as effortless as spritzing on a fragrance work for you. While Eau Flirt’s notes and formulation remain a closely guarded secret (don’t all flirts have some secret flirt skills?), it’s reassuring to know that some of the notes do remind me of the most loved and now-classic fragrances out there. While I can’t say Eau Flirt drew the men to me in droves, I do like the scent enough to use it often, so the flirt test is still ongoing! The illustration on the packaging and bottle is very whimsical and fun, thoroughly capturing the flirt mood and mindset. Personally, I think getting yourself to a flirtatious state and being a good flirt is very much a state of mind too, so if a fragrance like Eau Flirt can put you in that state and give you an
edge, then why not dab some on before going out?”

President Obama’s Wardrobe and Tailoring

Your man Jeeves ran across an interesting article about the dress habits of President Obama in the Boston Globe.

It seems that the style pundits have been carefully studying the Presidents wardrobe and have made suggestions to help him look better.

It seems that first and foremost President Obama is in need of a good tailor.  According to the article his suits just don’t fit well. The length of his trousers is wrong (too long) and his jackets tend to have a “bolero” effect because they are too pinched at the sternum.

None the less, the tailors at Jeeves can help.

Clothing that fits less than perfect can be made to fit perfectly. Our craftsmen who work in our tailoring division are truly that. With an eye for detail our tailors can work wonders with any wardrobe, presidential or not.

If President Obama would like the services of your man Jeeves, we would be pleased to tailor his first suit complimentary.

Jeeves of Belgravia has the Royal Warrant as the Dry Cleaner for HRH the Prince of Wales, and maybe tailors to President Obama.
