Care & Maintenance
Our Suit Guide
A well-maintained suit enhances both its longevity and appearance. Follow these guidelines to keep your suit looking sharp and lasting for years.
Proper Hanging: Always use a broad, contoured hanger to support the jacket’s shoulders and maintain its structure. Avoid thin wire hangers, which can cause misshaping.
Airing Out: After wearing, let your suit breathe by hanging it in a well-ventilated area for a few hours before placing it in the closet. This helps release moisture and prevents odors from setting in.
Avoiding Unnecessary Strain: Avoid stuffing pockets with heavy items like phones or keys, as this can cause the fabric to stretch and lose its shape over time.
Brushing Off Dust & Lint: Use a soft-bristle garment brush to remove dust, dirt, and lint. This prevents buildup and keeps the fabric looking fresh between wears.
Steaming Over Ironing: Light steaming helps relax wrinkles and remove odors without damaging the fabric. If ironing is necessary, use a pressing cloth and low heat to avoid scorching or shine marks.
Dry Cleaning Sparingly: Frequent dry cleaning can weaken fibers. Only take your suit to a trusted dry cleaner when absolutely needed (typically 1–2 times per season unless stained).
Using a Garment Bag: Store your suit in a breathable garment bag (not plastic) to shield it from dust while allowing air circulation. This helps prevent fabric deterioration.
Keeping It Cool & Dry: Store your suit in a dark, dry closet away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Avoid damp areas to prevent mold or mildew.
Immediate Action: If a spill occurs, blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb moisture. Rubbing can spread the stain or damage the fibers.
Gentle Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, dab the area with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid discoloration.
Professional Help for Tough Stains: If the stain doesn’t lift easily, take the suit to a dry cleaner as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can make stains harder to remove.
Rotating Between Wears: Trousers bear more wear than jackets, so avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row. This allows the fabric to recover and prevents premature thinning.
Hanging for Crease Maintenance: Use a clamp hanger to hang trousers by the hem. This maintains a crisp crease and helps gravity pull out minor wrinkles.
Pressing Carefully: If pressing is necessary, use a pressing cloth and avoid direct heat on delicate fabrics. Steam is often a safer option for wrinkle removal.
