TAILORING
DRY-CLEAN AS RARELY AS POSSIBLE.
The harsh chemicals used in dry cleaning are hard on your suits and will slowly wear down the natural fibres. Limit your dry cleaning to just once a year and opt for more natural ways of caring for your precious tailoring.
STEAM TO AVOID CREASING.
If your suit is creased, hang it in the bathroom while running a hot shower. A handheld steamer will also get the job done. Always use low temperatures. Avoid using an iron, as this may damage the fibres and surface of the suit.
USE A FABRIC BRUSH.
Remove hair, dust and light dirt by carefully brushing your suit with a fabric brush. A gentle alternative to dry cleaning.
LET YOUR SUIT BREATHE.
Day-to-day wear will cause your suit to hold a slight odour. To refresh, let your suit rest and air in a ventilated room for at least two days after each use.
HANG IN A DUSTPROOF GARMENT BAG.
Make sure your suit stays fresh by storing it in a dustproof garment bag. Leave the zipper open to allow air to circulate. Hanging your suit the right way will help creases straighten out naturally and maintain shape and fit for as long as possible. Invest in quality wooden hangers that fit the size of your blazer to support the shape of the shoulders. Fold trousers at the creases and hang upside down with a clip hanger or folded at the knee.
