10 Tips for MaintainingYour Custom Suits

Did you know that the
popular belief that dry
cleaning is healthy for your
garments is just a myth?
Caring for your custom suits
is quite literally an art. One
has to be extremely careful
about how the garments are
treated, how they are stored
and how they are cleaned
out. A bespoke suit is a
luxury and must be cared
for like one would care for
their car; with love and a lot
of attention.
10 Maintenance And Care
Tips For Your Custom Suits
The maintenance of your
custom suits is all about
handling and storing them in
the proper manner. There
are several factors to
consider and incorporate
when taking care of your
bespoke suit:
1.After every wear use a lint
roller to remove any dirt, lint
or hair it might have
gathered.
2.Air your custom suits out
before storing them away.
This gets rid of any odor
that might have gotten
caught in the fabric.
3.If there are creases on
your suit, hang the trousers
and the jacket separately in
the bathroom and take a hot
shower. This will fill the
bathroom with steam and
get you nice and clean. Let
the suit sit for thirty minutes
than bring it out and wait for
the creases to relax out.
4.Remove anything that
might be there in the
pockets so the fabric does
not stress out and sag.
5.Do not store your custom
suits in plastic or woolen
bags as this allows the fabric
to collect moisture and
mildew.
6.Hang your custom suits
on well padded heavy
wooden hangers to maintain
the shape of the shoulder
pads.
7.Dry clean your bespoke
suit only once; at the end of
the season. Dry-cleaning
too often does more harm
than good to the fabric of
your custom suits.
8.In case something spills
on your custom suits, brush
it off. Do not, under any
circumstances, try to run it
off. This will leave a
permanent mark on fabrics
such as linen and silk.
9.Any stains on the suit
should be treated
immediately and with a
dependent and reliable stain
remover.
10.Do not separate the
jacket and the trouser of the
suit. This will result in one
wearing out faster than the
other and you won’t be able
to team them up as a suit.
The care of customs suits is
a delicate affair and must be
handled with care. When
you need to dry clean your
suit, go to a reputed
cleaner. With proper care,
your suit’s life will last much
longer than you'd expect.
