In every major city that he didn't have a residence or storage, he'd commission two or three sets of clothes right before he left, that way when he got back there would be a set of clean, unwrinkled, never before seen outfit waiting on him.  Given the time it takes to make a high end set of garments, it only took an extra gold piece or two to have the tailor hold them indefinitely.  High quality soap was originated in the party by the NPC ogre, who originally got it because he thought it was a soft candy.  After he became a paladin (long story) the ogre went to even greater lengths than the cleric to have decent garb to overcome the ogre stigma.  The logic is that the heroes are the best and out of the party's level.  Kind of like Hercules getting into a wrestling contest.  IMC the heroes posted a couple of prizes for events at a county fair but decreed that the prizes would go to the highest ranked non party member in each event.  The party swept almost all the events they entered two years running  The third year they got the event changed slightly.  The PCs provided prizes ("minor" loot like masterwork or +1 weapons they acquired) for the tournament but did not compete.  The PCs then competed against the victors, with a bigger prize for anyone who beat them.   (Which is actually a great mechanism to allow new characters to join the party)</blockquote>
