Made To Last; How To Look After Your Suit
Michael Pascalis • March 9, 2022
A suit is an investment – and if you take proper care of it, you will get years and years of wear. At Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring, we have had clients who have passed on their suits through generations! After all, a classic suit will never go out of style.
So, without further ado, here are our top tips on how to look after your suit:
- Wear Your Suit Appropriately
A suit should never be worn more than twice a week. Make sure that you are rotating your suits to ensure longevity. When investing in a made to measure or bespoke tailored suit for work, wear them appropriately and only for the occasion you tailor made your suit for. - Store Your Suit on A Hanger
After a long day at work, it could be tempting to take off your suit and throw it on a chair – however, it is important to avoid this. Once you finish wearing your suit, store it on a hanger with a nice shoulder line for the suit jacket to drape perfectly over. Place some cedar balls in your wardrobe to keep moths away. - Spot Clean with a Damp
Cloth Stains are inevitable no matter how careful you are. If you spill food or wine on your suit, spring into action with a spot clean. Gently dab the spot with a damp cloth. If you are unable to remove the stain after a few tries, hand it over to the professionals.
Pro tip: Never put your suit into a washing machine, it will lose its shape. - Have a Good Drycleaner
Ensure that your drycleaner understands the process of cleaning and rejuvenating the luxurious fabric of your suit. If you are searching for a good drycleaner, speak to your tailor, they will be able to recommend drycleaners that can handle luxury fabrics. Once your suit is dry cleaned, and ready take home, make sure you remove the suit out of the plastic bag to let the fabric breathe, and take off the wire hanger and replace it will a plastic or wooden hanger. - Let Your Suit Breathe
Store your suit in a breathable cupboard – not one that is so packed that you can barely squeeze it in. For extra protections, keep your suit in the lightweight cloth garment bag provided when you purchased your suit, this will keep your suit clean and dust free.
Pro tip: After wearing your suit, air it out. This takes the oils out of the fabric and makes the suit fresh and ready to be worn again.
