Third Gus Fas and second Felix show repair. There is a dry cleaner in the "travelers mini mall" (entrance in prospect across from grove street) but I don't know that they are light on chemicals. They do not have a bothersome smell. A really fantastic dry cleaner is Mercury on Farmington in the west end. Best cleaners (chain) is supposedly green but I had a bad experience the only time I went so I'll have to try again to give a real review.

Connecticut Custom Clothing Company. Bob is a great guy, and I've never owned a better suit. You get what you pay for with a suit, if your going to wear it more than 2-3 times, spend the money. You'll look and feel better. He might be open to tailoring a off the shelf suit as well, not sure. http://www.dressedtotheninescustomclothing.com/
