Here's something to try on your husband. After he rushes "aff to work ..... reach back in the closet and bring out that dingy, droopy suit that he said was all done for. Bend it to us. for a Zoric Drycleaning. We'll bring the colour back to life.. soften that harsh wool.' (Zoric cleans out the deep-rooted dirt, you know..... gives old suits a show window look.). Then bang it hack in the closet and let him discover his "newsuit for himself (For which favour he'll probably treat you to dinner. and a show that very night!). Well, why not?
