  1. YWP, could you explain your belt cleaning process? ...and while we're on the subject, how do you deal with cleaning/unwrinkling ties?

  2. Kionon,
    I have a cop-out answer for you: I take them to the dry-cleaners. If there is leather on the belt, most cleaners won't touch them, in which case, wash them by hand with a mild soap. If it's a spot, use a drug store stain-stick. My cleaner does fine with leather, though.

    The canvas or gros-grain belts can be washed in nearly anything, but I send them off. Every 5 years or so, I can absorb the small coast of it without too much pain.

Let's keep it clean... but if you DO have to get foul, at least give it a bit of wit. Also, advertising disguised as comments will be deleted, unless it is clever.
