    May need to spend some time at the dry cleaners in the morning.
    Thats a bummer..... but:
    1) Go out and buy another jacket/suit....
    2) Fail to find your "Bespoke Tailored Hugo Boss" among his old rags and get him to compensate you.....

    anyway good luck/break a leg

    Zürich is a good place to throw some roots down in.
    I was in Zurich before for about 4 years, but it never felt like home.

    Thanks Sysman, the Crazy Cow is not the hotel name. Looks good but my hotel is already booked.
