    That is why they invented dry cleaning.

    That is a consideration in warm climates...

    No, the garment industry invented dry cleaning to hasten the demise of clothing so you'll be back sooner than later to replace what the cleaners have ruined.

    Like you wouldn't want to get your clothing cleaned anyway. It may last longer stinky but it is still stinky.

    Wearing an undershirt will keep your jacket perspiration free; no sweat, no odors. I have garments (mostly Fall/Winter) that haven't been dry-cleaned in several years and smell perfectly fine because they haven't been sweated in. I just give them a good brushing and air them out after a wearing. Most times I visit a dry cleaner to have them deal with a stain.

    Undershirts make good sense. The are a good layer for the winter and a necessary barrier between your shirt and body for the summer.

    You mean YOU don't smell anything.

    No, he doesn't. If the jacket isn't full of sweat it doesn't stink. On the other hand, if it reeks of sweat dry cleaning will be of no help at all, as sweat is water soluble.

    I have never had the problem but I have never had a problem dry cleaning clothing either. There is also a water based dry cleaning process over here if that were a problem.
    There must be plenty of stinky dudes that I have never come across over here. I have never sweat through a regular shirt but I certainly would with a t shirt under it.
