Charvet, Borrelli, Isaia, and custom dress shirts — hand-finished by Alex's Team.
Why Alex's
Why San Francisco Professionals Trust Alex's With Their Shirts
Couture fabrics deserve couture care — from the boardroom rotation to the silk shirts that never see a hanger twice.
Hand Finishing by Artisans
Collars, cuffs, and plackets are hand-pressed for a crisp, tailored finish no machine press can match — structure restored, wrinkles gone, fabric unharmed.
Gentle on Fine Cotton & Silk
Our gentle, biodegradable formula brightens whites and preserves color and fiber in Sea Island cotton, linen, and silk — extending the life of every favorite shirt.
Repairs Handled Automatically
Loose or missing buttons are replaced and weakened seams reinforced as part of the service — your shirts come back ready to wear, not ready for the tailor.
Beyond Laundering
Expert Shirt Care, Restoration & Repairs
Whether it's a Charvet from Place Vendôme or the custom shirts your tailor cut last spring, every shirt receives the same disciplined attention.
Hand-Pressed Collars & Cuffs
The collar is the first thing anyone sees. Ours are hand-pressed — never crushed in a machine — restoring structure and removing stubborn wrinkles, with collar stays removed before pressing and returned in place.
French Cuffs, Monograms & Details
French cuffs are shaped properly, monograms protected, and mother-of-pearl buttons handled with care. Starch is applied exactly to your preference, from none to crisp.
Button Repair, Seams & Stain Removal
Missing buttons are replaced and seams reinforced automatically. Collar rings, ink, and wine receive targeted stain treatment on delicate fabrics. Hemming and adjustments are available through our tailoring service — see our pricing or schedule a pickup. Suits and jackets travel alongside via luxury dry cleaning.

Common Questions
Shirt Laundry FAQ
Can I choose starch level and folded versus hangers?
Of course — starch from none to crisp, and shirts returned on hangers or folded for travel, exactly to your standing preference. Tell us once and it is noted on your account for every future pickup.
Are French cuffs, monograms, and mother-of-pearl buttons safe?
Yes — French cuffs are hand-shaped, monograms protected during cleaning, and delicate buttons covered before pressing. Collar stays are removed and returned. This is precisely the kind of shirt Alex's exists to care for.
How quickly do shirts come back in San Francisco?
San Francisco pickups Monday through Friday return the next business day; Saturday pickups return Tuesday morning. Same-day service is standard in Marin and available elsewhere for an additional fee.
Is there a minimum order for shirt laundry pickup?
Yes — the minimum per pickup is $75, which includes free pickup and delivery, and most clients combine shirts with dry cleaning. Full pricing is at alexdryclean.net/pricing.
