My way of dealing with dry-cleaning may be even worse, or possibily a whole different stereotype. I try to buy mostly things that can be washed. My husband, on the other hand, has all those good wool slacks, and since he wears buttondown shirts every day he has them laundered at the cleaners instead of him (or me, I suppose, though that's unlikely) having to iron them. (*My* buttondown shirts are mostly of the type with both stretch and wrinkle-free properties.) so he has a lot more dry-cleanables than I do, and I can usually just get him to take a thing or two of mine when he goes. :-)
