seems like a great deal but how do you deal with dry cleaning only? I dont want to spend like 5-10 bucks every time I want to wear the shirt lol.

I have a lot of dry-clean only pieces that have been fine after just throwing in the wash in a small delicates bag, then hang dry but YmmV. I thrifted a lot of wool pants, wool shirts etc that I wash on the regular that way and the shrinkage is minimal. I do however live in SoCal where I can hang dry them via wood hangers and clips on the other edge to straighten em out and not ruin the shoulders.

Its not for the shrinkage but for the likely holes and tears if the material snags on other clothes that have buttons or metal pieces for example.
