I promised myself that I wasn’t going to talk about the weather, I’m tired of hearing about this topic quite frankly.

On Monday my email box had an item from the Borowitz Report that was titled, “Winter Weather Expected to Dominate the Conversations of Boring People”, I digress.

This morning I watched a woman in beautiful black leather boots (Gucci?), wade through water that was at least three inches deep at the corner of 68th and Park Avenue. As the water seeped into her boot (she grimaced), the tires of a taxi stuck in the snow started spinning and covered her off-white wool coat (Burberry?) with a slushy, gray mixture of snow and street detritus.

I offered her my handkerchief to wipe off the slush, she refused, she was too aggravated. I thought of telling her about Jeeves and asking her if she wanted me to have my driver pick-up her coat for cleaning, but she was getting more furious by the second. It wasn’t the right time. I walked away.

While the weather may dominate some conversations this week, the snow will take a toll on your wardrobe. That gray, slushy mixture is snow, salt, grease and dirt. Not really what you want on your clothes.

I’ve seen shearling coats ruined in a heartbeat after being splashed with “salty” slush. The salt literally burns the shearling and the soft leather takes on the characteristics of starched cardboard.

Do clean anything that gets splashed with slush and keep away from the tires of stuck taxi cabs.

Oh, and the leather boots? Jeeves can fix the water rings that will appear after they dry out.

Thanks for listening. Jerry Pozniak, Jeeves New York

Have you felt the wind of the latest trend on the streets ( quite literally) of New York? It would seem that no longer is a woman’s greatest accessory her bag or a one of a kind couture piece, rather a vintage hunk of metal; the bicycle.

Fashion meets function?

Jeeves has heard that this can happen, but so rarely are these functional pieces also statement pieces. Don’t tell that to the women of New York who have been cruising all over town from the Upper East Side all the way down to Williamsburg on Schwinns and Raleighs.

The streets of New York have always been like a runway show, but now more so than ever it is impossible to take your eyes off of these woman dressed to the nines whizzing around town…

Messengers and food delivery guys don’t stand a chance.

Jeeves had been wondering how long it would take for this trend to settle in before he saw the first wardrobe malfunction due to mechanical error.

Your man Jeeves knows that the ladies of New York most certainly always look their best, and in order to do so wear their very best. The only downfall to this trend is the anticipated wear and tear on your wardrobe– one missed pedal and torn trousers present themselves. Or perhaps you are riding carefree after one of these pesky fall rain showers and a truck drives by catching you in the backlash of an idle puddle?

The next stop on your route should be straight to 39 E. 65th Street where your man Jeeves will be ready and waiting to tend to you and your wardrobe.

Best of all there is a nice little fence outside ideal for securing your wheels.

For all of your dry cleaning, tailoring, and everyday needs Jeeves of Belgravia can do it all.

Jeeves knows that your traveling has slowed down quite a bit from the summertime, but this wet weather has caused his mind to wander to far away places and he wanted to pass along some of his favorite traveling tips for the next time you opt to migrate.

1) Never leave town without visiting your favorite gentleman to ensure that your clothes look and feel their best before heading out of town.

2)Pack items that are versatile to reduce the amount of baggage you have to lug around with you.

3) Be conscious of the materials you are packing, so that you avoid unnecessary wrinkles or creases.

4) Don’t leave home without your Jeeves Vacation Survival Kit complete with every item to fix a fashion emergency on the go. Never leave home without your man Jeeves.

5) When you arrive at your destination be sure to hang everything up, so that pieces are able to maintain their original structure.

6) When you return home be sure to unpack luggage on the ground and not on beds or furniture as this is the latest mode of transportation for unruly bedbugs.

7) After unpacking send all your items to Jeeves to be properly cleaned, and if you wish to have your suitcase cleaned we can tend to that as well.

Try to stay dry this weekend, and as always thanks for listening.

There is nothing quite like the feel of linen against your skin and the sand between your toes. Your man Jeeves enjoyed the long holiday weekend basking in the sun in South Hampton with friends and family.

Jeeves always looks forward to Memorial Day Weekend as it not only marks the official beginning of the summer season, but it also permits him to break into a whole part of his wardrobe that he has abandoned since September. He has longingly stared at his seersucker and white linen pants as they adorn his shelves and not his body.

Jeeves is even more excited to wear his summer whites this season , for now he can  dry clean them in a manner that will keep them bright and white all summer long without that dingy tinge of gray that has ruined so many pieces in the past.

How?

Jeeves’ ECO2 Cleanse process that is Simply Green. Simply Clean. Simply Better for you. If you have tried our carbon dioxide cleaning process on the items in your regular wardrobe and noticed the difference imagine what it will do to brighten your whites!

Jeeves recognizes that many people are confused by how this environmentally friendly process cleans better than traditional dry cleaning, so as always he is here to make sure that you understand how to provide the best possible care for your wardrobe.

Ordinary dry cleaning uses filters to keep the dry cleaning solvent clean during the “wash phase”,  however if these filters aren’t kept perfectly clean you end up cleaning white clothes in dirty solvent. It would be the same thing as you taking a bath in water that had been previously used by 10 people before you…no thank you.

Jeeves wonders why  if people wouldn’t do that to themselves than why would they consider doing that to their clothes?!

ECO2 Cleanse cleans your clothing in a cleaning solution that is similar to the ingredients in hand sanitizer. After your clothes are  rinsed in pure liquid CO2 FOUR TIMES!  This rinse phase removes all suspended soil and restores clothes back to their original brightness, and also prevents them from turning gray.

Solvair can even restore clothes that have been turned gray and ruined from previous summer seasons.

So whether you are jet setting to The Hamptons, Fire Island, Martha’s Vineyard, or simply enjoy the privilege of wearing your whites you can trust Jeeves to care for all your dry clean only white clothes so that you can wear them for many more summers to come.

For the best dry cleaner to care for your summer wardrobe the only choice is Jeeves New York.

As a gentleman with an appreciate for fashion and a love of fine garments, your man Jeeves can not grasp the notion of clothing that is ripped & torn before ever leaving the hanger! Perhaps Jeeves is a bit of an old timer, but it is usually when clothing starts to get holes and is worn out that you consider parting with the item that has clearly become a wardrobe staple and finding a replacement ASAP.

If you have not adopted the look of Lindsay Lohan and still admire all your wardrobe pieces in their non tattered glory then you should seek out a cleaning method, such as the ECO2 Cleanse process at Jeeves New York that significantly reduces the wear and tear on your wardrobe. The gentle cleaning process literally has your clothing floating through what can only be described as champagne bubbles.

Don’t be confused that your man Jeeves is using bubbly to clean clothing, rather this method is so gentle and so safe that you the same substance used for cleaning can also be imbibed.

Since your clothing floats through this process, it is not introduced to the sides of the machine where damage usually occurs, therefore greatly extending the lifetime of your wardrobe. Your man Jeeves does not exclude torn fashions from his cleaning either and would recommend his ECO2 Cleanse process even more so that the pieces do not tear more.

After the last model had walked, and the house lights went dark in one of the last fashion shows to ever be held at Bryant Park, the real work began for your man Jeeves and his cleaning team.

As mentioned before Jeeves had been entrusted by representatives from Fashion for Relief as well as Net-A-Porter to clean and transport all the garments worn during the show held during New York  Fall 2010 Fashion Week.  As you can see from the picture above your man Jeeves has his hands very full of couture.

Once off the catwalk and back at Jeeves’ garment care workshop the clothes were analyzed by his team of craftsmen to ensure that they received Jeeves’ full white glove treatment. After careful analysis, it was  decided that all donated garments must be cleaned by hand due to the responsibility of cleaning these one of a kind couture gowns.

Your man Jeeves would have hated to see the fine details and incredible construction of these beautiful gowns lose their unique presence due to improper cleaning, so the only solution  was to clean every piece by hand. This meant much more work for Jeeves and his team, but no one minded for such a charitable cause.

After a long weekend of cleaning,  your man Jeeves returned each and every gown to its original pristine condition and hand delivered them to Net-A-Porter who will be auctioning off the gowns after the London show has been completed. All proceeds from the online auction beginning March 15 will benefit CARE, an organization working towards rebuilding the healthcare system in Haiti.

Your man Jeeves can’t wait to see what fabulous looks go down the runway at the London Fashion for Relief event. Like Jeeves New York, Jeeves of London has been entrusted to clean and handle the couture for the Fashion For Relief show being held tongiht  in just a week after the New York show. He can only extend his empathy towards Jeeves London because he knows all the hard work they have ahead of them.

You may recognize the gown above as the gorgeous piece worn by Sarah Ferguson, also entrusted to your man Jeeves is the now famous Burberry ensemble worn by Agyness Deyn complete with those 7 in. platforms that caused her to take quite the tumble 2x! All the pieces by Alexander McQueen that Jeeves had worked with backstage are not available for auction, for all of his pieces are being returned to his estate. Jeeves was so excited when he was sorting through the racks to find the stunning cerulean gown worn by none other than Naomi Campbell herself that required the Jeeves touch.

For all your couture cleaning needs, or perhaps those pieces that require a second or even third look come visit your man Jeeves, for the best couture cleaning in New York.

Allison Parris Spring 2010 by Alix Pozniak

People always tell you that they save the best for last, and this past week was no exception. Traveling out in yet another snowfall, your Man Jeeves traveled to  a spacious loft on the West side to preview the latest from a designer we have already introduced you to; Allison Parris.

As previously mentioned Jeeves has become the go to source for the designer, so he could not wait to see what else she had in store. It must be said however, that Jeeves’ assistant Mollie was a bit more excited since the pieces are a bit more to her taste.

The loft was a very stark white which was a magnificent contrast to the neutral tones and beaded accents of the collection. Although these designs were different from Parris’ first collection her signature look still commanded the collection with chain embellishments, full flirty skirts, and sassy shirt dresses.

All the embellished and beaded pieces will need careful attention during cleaning, so that they do not fall apart. For all your complicated cleaning needs Jeeves New York has just the team to care for your clothes.

Your man Jeeves could not help but to notice the following that the designer has developed as many young women in the audience were wearing pieces from last season’s collection. Most popular among these were the “Silk Wrap Skirt”, and the “Tulle Mini Skirt.”

If you own any pieces by Allison Parris that you do not trust your cleaner to care for please bring it to your man Jeeves who is now Allison’s man Jeeves.

After an exciting but exhausting weekend, Jeeves was thrilled to be in the audience for the show of one of his favorite men’s designers, Perry Ellis and not be tucked away backstage.

As soon as the first look hit the runway your man Jeeves already knew he was going to be very busy next fall if these looks are indicative of what is to come. With jackets in deep hues, and made of distinct materials including goat skin had Jeeves on the edge of his seat for what would be next down the runway.

Jeeves was very excited to see that velvet blazers would be returning to the stores next fall, but with a little more flare for the dramatic with their leather trimming.  There was no shortage of fitted suits perfect for your man Jeeves and his clients.

If you also enjoyed the Perry Ellis Fall 2010 collection just remember that your man Jeeves offers the best leather cleaning in NYC, and his chemical free ECO2 Cleanse process will keep your suits looking sharp and odorless!

As the weekend approaches, so does the impending doom of yet another winter storm bringing with it lots of frozen precipitation, and the need for the warmest of your outerwear.

Your man Jeeves has had just about enough of these cold New York days, and is certainly ready for spring and the warmer weather. However, on these brisk days he braves the streets wearing his down jacket which he only used to wear on the exceptionally cold days because it was quite an ordeal to clean.

In the past Jeeves had avoided cleaning this jacket at great lengths due to the fact that the first one he purchased when arriving in the US was almost ruined because of his ignorance to care for a garment he was unfamiliar with.

Many down jackets instruct the consumer NOT to dry clean these jackets. Why? Typically, in the dry cleaning process the feathers all clump together so that their warmth is no longer distributed throughout the entire jacket. Worst of all, the chemical odor lingers in the feathers and follows you everywhere.

The same results tend to happen with home cleaning sans the cleaning odor, but with the added potential for a devastating headache as many cleaning professionals instruct that tennis balls or sneakers be placed in the dryer with the jacket to help redistribute the feathers.

This cleaning was a futile effort for your man Jeeves until now. With the introduction of the CO2 machine, and this being Jeeves’ first winter with the ECO2 Cleanse process he figured he would try his luck. By this point he had tried everything else…

Before cleaning Jeeves was very hopeful, for he had helped Mrs. Jeeves during the last snow blast, and had seriously soiled his jacket. In case you were unaware your man Jeeves LOVES color, so his vibrant jacket does not conceal stains well.

The results were remarkable! The jacket was removed from the machine spotless, odorless, and colder than the temperature outside the store. Your man Jeeves felt like he had just received a brand new jacket and it only took half the time of regular dry cleaning.

CO2 dry cleaning is able to clean any down jacket much better than any other process and in much less time.

For all your down jacket cleaning needs come visit your man Jeeves, the only luxury garment care firm with CO2 in all of Manhattan.
