Garment Care

Well made garments are designed to last. With the right care, your made to measure suits and bespoke trousers will age beautifully and serve you for many years.

Wearing and Rotation

Avoid wearing the same suit or trousers on consecutive days. Natural fibres need time to rest and recover their shape. Rotating your garments will significantly extend their lifespan and help maintain a sharp silhouette.

Brushing and Airing

After each wear, brush the garment lightly with a soft clothes brush to remove dust and surface dirt. This prevents fibres from breaking down over time.

Hang the garment in a well ventilated space and allow it to air overnight. Avoid confined wardrobes immediately after wear.

Hanging and Storage

Always use a proper hanger:

Jackets should be hung on a wide, shaped hanger that supports the shoulders
Trousers should be hung by the waistband or folded neatly along the crease

Store garments with enough space around them to avoid creasing. For longer periods, use a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic covers.

Pressing and Steaming

Creases and wrinkles are best removed with steam rather than frequent pressing. A steamer will relax the fibres without flattening the cloth.

If pressing is required, use a pressing cloth and moderate heat. Excessive pressing can damage the fabric and reduce the life of the garment.

Cleaning

Dry cleaning should be kept to a minimum. Over-cleaning wears out the fabric and can affect the structure of the garment.

As a guideline:

Suits: only when necessary
Trousers: slightly more frequent if worn regularly

Spot cleaning is often sufficient for minor marks.

Always use a reputable cleaner familiar with tailored garments.

Travelling

When travelling, use a proper garment bag and allow the garment to hang upon arrival. Most creases will fall out naturally after a few hours.

Repairs and Maintenance

Small issues such as loose buttons or minor wear should be addressed early. Timely repairs will prevent more significant damage and help maintain the integrity of the garment.

We are always happy to assist with alterations, repairs, and ongoing care.

Final Note

A well cared for garment develops character over time. Proper maintenance is not only practical but part of the enjoyment of wearing tailored clothing.
