Pouting about my pants
My darling wife MACHINE WASHED and TUMBLE DRIED my Noel Howard TOD trousers yesterday, failing to notice a stain, which now appears to be permanently set. I wear these as the dress trousers they are intended to be, as they are far too expensive for any other use by a rational person.
To say that I am slightly peeved would be about right...

schwammy, if the dry cleaning doesn't work you might try rewashing the pants wih Shout stain remover sprayed on there or rub some Oxyclean mixed with a small amount of water on it before the next wash. Of course, being these are wool, proceed with caution. Oh and the warmer the water, the easier it is to get a stain out.

Sorry to hear that. Time to go shopping *SNAP*!
As a postmortem, the trousers came back from the dry cleaner looking pretty presentable. They don't seem to be seriously harmed from the machine washing / drying, and I can't find any trace of the stain. The only real difference is that the pockets feel strange when you put your hands in them, as though they may have shrunk somewhat. Other than that, all is well. Thank you all for your kind advice / condolences.
