The ebay jacket arrives

[12stones]

But I see mention of the buttons being removed before dry cleaning...is that a necessity?

It's not a necessity as far as dry cleaners are concerned, but it risks having your buttons damaged, nicked, dented, etc. If you're okay with that, leave them on. Oh, and as always, the dry cleaners won't be responsible for the damage to your buttons. I'm sure they have a sign that says that somewhere...

I just read somewhere that you should make sure that they turn the jacket inside out when they clean it so the buttons don't bang against the machine interior. The same source suggested that if the buttons are silver or some other valuable metal, you might want to take them off just to be sure that they don't "walk off".

My jackets have real silver buttons and I did get one back a few years ago with some missing. The cleaners tried to insist they were lost while cleaning...yeah right. They finally paid up.
