If they can do it with strong thread I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to let them do it. Make sure they use the same type of stitching as before. It's not certificated or anything.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Yeah, just remember to buy them a case of beer. Start a new tradition in the dry cleaning industry!

My wife uses military grade nylon thread for suit repairs. Not so hard to find really.

I'd say instead of a dry cleaners see if there's a local shoe repair shop around. They have beefier materials on hand.

Of course if there's a local suit make in the area....

Military "E" Spec Thread or Commercial 69 thread is what I use.
