Lions, Tigers, and Lanvin oh my!
It seems that no matter where Jeeves turns these days he can not escape the classic stylings of French fashion house, Lanvin.
Between constant fashion editorials and red carpet appearances your man Jeeves found himself craving the silhouettes and fabrics of this internationally recognized label.
How fortunate for Jeeves ( and the rest of Manhattan) that first New York Lanvin store has opened up right again at Jeeves’ doorstep.

The Latest Wedding Style Statement
Now your man Jeeves may be an old fuddy duddy when it comes to weddings, but never in his wildest dreams would he have guessed brides would opt to sport a a garter and a diaper under their wedding gowns!
Not to fear your eyes are not deceiving you it is simply the latest bridal trend that is sweeping the nation; bridal diapers. Many modern brides are so concerned with missing out on their party or simply are unable to easily shimmy out of their scivvys so they are purchasing a diaper to wear on their big day.
Jeeves was quite intrigued by this fad, so he did some further research to see what distinguished bridal diapers from regular adult diapers. What he found were minor differences, so minor in fact that most women are wearing adult diapers and adding their own style and wedding personality through lace and other embellishments they are adding to their diapers.
In all the articles Jeeves read he was unable to locate one quotation from a groom whose new wife donned a diaper on her big day.
Although these brides may have figured out how to avoid one of the less sanitary locations of the reception, that is not to say her her dress was not soiled in other ways. Such as cake, or champagne.
If your wedding dress was soiled or dirtied during your big day there is an answer even simpler than adult diapers, and that is Jeeves New York. Jeeves has over 25 years experience in cleaning and preserving wedding gowns. Additionally Jeeves New York is the only luxury garment care provider in the state of New York to offer chemical free wedding gown cleaning.

Keep Your Whites Bright Without Worrying About the Sun
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.
Convertible Wedding Dresses
As a man of style, Jeeves has always been a big proponent of versatility. There are few things in one’s wardrobe than a piece that can be worn multiple ways…
Recently, many bridal designers have caught on to this trend and are incorporating two piece gowns into their collections. Whether it is the functionality of the gown or an indecisive bride these dresses are making appearances all over the globe.
Some brides have shared with Jeeves that they wanted a classic,traditional look for their ceremony however wanted to be able to let loose and put on their dancing shoes for the reception which is why they opted for a convertible dress.
These dresses come in all shapes and sizes, with detachable skirts so that brides no longer have to worry about someone holding their ballgown skirt over their head while they use the loo , or worrying that some clumsy guest will spill red wine on the train.
With these new fashions brides can remain elegant and poised throughout their ceremony and photographs, and then slip into something more fun for their party. After all isn’t the wedding all about the dress anyways? So why not have two!
Jeeves’ favorite part about these gowns is that their versatility allows for sustainability. Some designers such as Adele Wechsler have pieces that one can incorporate right into their every day wardrobe. Other designers with convertible collections are Carolina Herrera and Badgeley Mischka just to name a few.
Luckily,for these savvy brides your man Jeeves can assist them with the maintenance of these gowns with his chemical free ECO2 Cleanse system.

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.

Recent Studies Link Perc to Parkinson’s & Cancer
With all the fun that Jeeves had during Fashion Week he had almost forgotten about all the other news updates he had been receiving over the past two weeks. Your man Jeeves always likes to stay well informed especially when there is news pertaining to his trade. The dry cleaning industry suffered a fatal blow as the news shed some new light onto a very touchy topic.
The most common dry cleaning chemical, perchloroethylene (perc) has been labeled by the US EPA as a “likely human carcinogen” in a report published this week. Another report report released by The Parkinson’s Institute and Clinical Center links perc exposure to Parkinson’s disease.
Now you know why your man Jeeves is so adamant about his ECO2 Cleanse process…
Currently 85% of all dry cleaning firms in the US still use Perc to clean clothes! Your man Jeeves is not the best at math, but there are over 3,000 dry cleaners alone in Manhattan so imagine what that means on a national scale and 85% of them are still introducing a toxic chemical to their clients??
Fortunately, in a few months, any machine that is 15 years or older still operating with Perc will be banned in the state of California. A statewide ban on all machines using perc will take effect in 2023. Your man Jeeves thinks that 10 years is a long time to wait for change, but is also curious why other states are not working towards passing similar legislation?
Your man Jeeves knows that his CO2 Cleaning machine is not inexpensive, however there are other cleaning alternatives that could greatly reduce the use and need for perc. Currently, the US EPA has listed two methods of garment cleaning “safe”, CO2 dry cleaning and wet-cleaning.
Jeeves has boasted time and time again about the superb cleaning capabilities of his CO2 ECO2 Cleanse process, and wishes he could share these with other cleaners so that they could keep their clients and the environment safe just like your man Jeeves does for you.
It may be a long time before the permanent ban of Perc, but for now for CO2 dry cleaning and wet cleaning in NYC Jeeves New York is completely Perc free!
Jeeves Attends Perry Ellis Fall 2010 Fashion Show
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!
Jeeves cleans down with CO2
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.
