Generally though I have had most trouble with knitwear.

A few months ago I bought a deadstock Southwick jacket on ebay that I was very excited about. It was in a silk and wool mix, lovely and fitted like a dream. imagine my disappointment when I noticed three holes on one of the sleeves, it was like a mesh effect and sadly too obvious to be worn.  I was advised it was beyond repair, the moths had eaten the wool and left the silk threads behind. There was nothing to do but throw it away!

^ Yes, it was the Invisible Mending chap who I took it to. They are good at what they do but certainly know how to charge for it!

I contacted them about a job, didn't realise they couldn't do cotton jackets. Good job I asked before taking the plunge.

Reweaving isn't cheap.  I had some work done to an old tweed.  Invisible repair, but expensive.

The cedar hangers and blocks and the like don't even act as a deterrent?  I'm suddenly afraid.  Very very afraid.  I'd love a nice big antique cedar armoire to keep all my nice tweed and wool in.

I've never seen any moths or evidence thereof around my clothes, and I just use cedar blocks and little wood rings that slide over the hanger hook.  I sand them down every so often once they've lost their scent, and that revives them a bit.  But as Expando says, perhaps I'd be just as well to not use the cedar.  Like he said, a placebo, or peace of mind.

^ or those Drop Bear attacks that can only be deterred by smearing Vegemite on your armpits...........

Dry cleaners scare me. I haven't been to one for a number of years. Using my clothes line I like though.

I'm envious of FXH's clothes carousel.
