I steamed kensington trench coat at home

I'm happy to say, that nothing happened, no water marks. Wrinkles removed. I was afraid to use regular iron as well as leave it at the dry cleaners. Probably with a little practice it will look even better of course it doesn't look as sharp and crisp as from dry cleaning but it's good enough for me.

Looks perfect!

Very impressive! I very often wonder why so many brands say that their products are dry clean only…

Cotton with shrink in warm water, so it's safer to make people dry clean and not deal with customers who destroyed their 2k coats by washing them. As long as you wash your cotton in cold water and air dry it will not shrink. The main reason to recommend dry cleaning of cotton coats is to avoid shrinkage. I have other cotton jacket and washed it in the front loader in cold water several times and nothing happened. I washed wool sweaters, cashmere sweaters in cold water by hand as well and again, nothing happened. Of course that's just me, but after hearing those horror stories about dry cleaning, I'll just wash it by hand when the time comes

And please excuse any grammar mistakes, I have learned English just a few years ago
