Proper Сare for Men’s Suits

by Eloiza

A men’s suit is an integral attribute of a business and self-confident man. Even if your professional activity is not related to the business dress code, it is still recommended to have 1-2 quality suits in the basic wardrobe, which will be needed for celebrations and other important events in your life. You will find stylish and high-quality men’s clothing for any occasion in our Fashion Wear online store or directly in Fashion Wear Milano men’s clothing stores.

A men’s business suit will last much longer if you take a responsible approach to its cleaning and storage. The ability of a men’s business suit to maintain a presentable appearance longer and not to wrinkle depends on the composition of the suit fabric. The higher the percentage of synthetic fibers in it, the longer it keeps its shape and wears out less. But there is also no need to overdo it, because the fabric of the suit should be pleasant to the body, and wool or cotton should be at least 70%.

The best option for the supplement is viscose, which, although artificially produced, is still a natural fiber made from wood cellulose. In addition, viscose is not electrified and is very pleasant and soft to the touch and to the body. But, like any other thing, a men’s business suit will last much longer if you take a responsible approach to its cleaning and storage.

Daily care of men’s suits

When worn daily, pay attention to cleaning the business men’s suit from dust. To do this, use a brush for clothes with a soft pile. Special rollers with sticky tapes are also used to remove dust, but they leave strips, and the seams are cleaned more efficiently with a brush. It is enough to brush off dust on the jacket from the outside, but it is advisable to clean the pants from dust and from the inside, paying special attention to the bottom edge.

With constant wearing of a business men’s suit, even from unwrinkled fabric, creases are inevitable, especially in places of sleeve folds. It is recommended to smooth the creases on the suit fabric with steam. If there is no special household steamer or steam generator, use the steam function on the iron: hang your jacket or trousers on a hanger and in such a vertical position run a floating iron above their surface.

For some suit fabrics, the manufacturer indicates the possibility of ironing and temperature conditions, but in this case your iron should have a special nozzle, from which there will be no glossy traces on the fabric. If there is no such nozzle, iron the suit only through a damp cotton fabric.

Dry cleaning and storage of men’s suits

Since hand washing for business, classic, wedding or any other men’s suits is not recommended, use dry cleaning services. Of course, the aggressive effects of cleaning reagents do not improve the fabric, so clean these clothes in dry cleaning no more than once a season or as they get dirty.

After dry cleaning, before storage for the season and from time to time, when worn daily, a business men’s suit requires ventilation. Do not hang your clothes under direct sunlight so that the fabric does not burn out or dry out. By the way, if the suit hangs idle in the closet for a long time, it also needs to be ventilated from time to time to protect against moths.

It is necessary to have a special case to store a men’s suit. Since these clothes are stored in a vertical position, make sure that the jacket hanger has wide enough shoulders and special clips for hanging trousers. Keep men’s suits in the closet as freely as possible so that clothes do not wrinkle and are reliably protected from foreign odors and moisture.
