What's in it for you?

This ebook is an insider's guide to caring for your fine shirts. More specifically, this ebook will:

• Provide you with information you might find useful in guiding your thinking and consequent actions on the best approach to keeping your fine cotton shirts looking, feeling and smelling great ‒ over the long term.
• Provide you with guidance and tips on caring for your fine cotton shirts at home should you elect to forgo the services of an ordinary shirt laundry or a true quality shirt laundry.
• Define true quality shirt laundry ®.
• Provide you with a yardstick against which you can measure the efforts of your shirt laundry.
• Tip the “informational balance of power” in your favor relative to your shirt laundry.
• Arm you with the ammunition you'll need to discuss the care of your garments with your shirt laundry on relatively equal terms.

Warning: If, after reading this ebook, you know more about true quality shirt laundry than your shirt laundry, please don't blame us. Talk to your shirt laundry instead.
