Take Care Of Those Suits!


It is often said and believed that dry cleaning your suits ruin them. The truth of the matter is you should not be taking them to the cleaners every other week. The Lack of suit rotation is the bigger problem!

The second problem is to  often the suits are not well made from the start. Bad interlinings (the guts of the suit) and synthetic fabrics; (polyesters and rayon's) will not retain shape during multiple cleaning processes. The synthetic fabrics retain odor and needs more maintenance. Natural fabrics breathe and if hung on a GOOD suit hanger will air out and refresh itself. A good brushing and waiting a day before putting the suit back into the rotation is best.
