Ever since getting out of the military, I really enjoy wearing nice professional attire. I feel the best in a freshly dry cleaned suit and tie. After years of wearing the same utility uniform day in and day out it is nice to look good/professional for a change. What attire do you feel the most comfortable in?

SGT Joseph Gunderson, just be mindful that it’s best not to dry clean your suits too often. Too much dry cleaning reduces the life of the garments. You may have better luck than me when dry cleaning ties, but the few times I tried it; game over for the ties!
Just put your suit on a nice wooden hanger that’s shaped for the shoulders and hang the pants to maintain the crease.
I also use cedar full shoe trees for leather shoes. They take the moisture and odor out of the leather and allow the shoes to dry, maintaining their proper shape. You’ll get longer life from your shoes, and they’ll look better, assuming you shine them, of course! :) COL Mikel J. Burroughs

I actually don't send my suits out for dry cleaning too often just for that reason. In between sending them out, I usually use the dryel products as necessary. I also don't like dry cleaning ties; they do tend to easily get ruined and I have a couple very expensive ties. If need be, I will iron them with low heat and a damp cloth. I should invest in the devices for my shoes though.

For a while (maybe a year), I liked being able to wear a suit. I still lived alone, and had "all that extra time and money" to maintain appearance. Now, at forty, with a wife, child, dog, cat (hell-even a fish), car payments, mortgage, leaky roof, dying central heat and air unit, bald tires, porches in need of repair, boat needing scraped...heck, I'm lucky to leave the house with a belt :) Every now and then though, the wife gets me to take some time off and "play pirate"...and I gotta admit, I'd probably dress like this most days, if my boss would allow it!
