It is very important that you take care of men’s suit if you want it to last
long. Men’s suit is very expensive so it is important that you keep it properly
in your wardrobe. Besides great fit, it is also important to maintain your suit.
If you don’t take care of it, its quality will deteriorate and you want be able
to wear it in business meetings, formal occasions or for a job interview.

steam iron and clothes steamer.
You might have worn your suit jacket in
a party and forgot to hang it in the wardrobe. Don’t be lazy as it may damage
your suit jacket. Before hanging suit jacket in the wardrobe, it would be better
if you use a clothes brush which will remove dirt. One more important thing is

wire hangers. Metal hangers cannot bear men’s jacket weight for a longer time so
avoid using them. Have abundant space in your wardrobe so that suits can be hung
and draped nicely without creasing. If there are any items in the pocket do
remove them. Keep your suit in a garment bag. Keep suit jackets in air at least
24 hours before putting it into the wardrobe.

to remove those wrinkles. Use brands like Rowenta to iron away those wrinkle
worries. If you do not want to iron your men’s suit, then clothes steamer can
help you remove those wrinkles. When you start ironing your suit, notice the
heat of the iron box. Too hot an iron will cause wool to be shiny. Before
ironing place a piece of clean cotton cloth over the suit.

your suit jacket to a professional dry cleaner that will properly iron your suit
and prevent damages like burning of the wool. Don’t give your suit too often for
dry cleaning since it involves too much chemical solvents which can damage your
suits fabric. Try doing it once in 3 months. Point out to your dry cleaner the
spots and stains that need pretreatment. If not told and they missed the stain,
it can leave a permanent scar on your suit. Never hot press or have heat
treatment onto a stain on the suit, otherwise it will permanently imprint the
stain. If there is a stain on the suit, do not rub it vigorously. There are a
few tips which will help you in removing stains on the woolen fabrics. If you
are drenched in the rain with your suit, remove it as soon as possible and use a
towel to remove the moisture. Then leave it in an airy space for natural drying
at room temperature.
