Care & Maintenance

Made
to Last

A fine suit is not disposable fashion — it is craftsmanship. Cared for properly, it serves you for a decade or more. Here is how.

The art of keeping a suit

Every fibre, seam, and lining works in harmony — careless cleaning undoes it. Good care keeps the line sharp, the colour true, and the suit yours for years.

The essentials

Three habits, ten more years

Cleaning a suit01

Cleaning

Less is more
Dry clean
Only when truly needed — 2–3 times a year. Over-cleaning weakens cloth.
Spot clean
Blot, never rub. Water sparingly; oil stains go to a professional.
Between wears
Rest 24–48 hours and brush gently to lift dust.
Pressing a suit02

Pressing & Steaming

Keeping the shape
Steam
Best for wrinkles — relax the fibres vertically while it hangs.
Press
For sharp creases, always through a pressing cloth.
Never
Iron wool directly — it flattens the texture for good.
Suit in storage03

Storage

Protecting the line
Hangers
Wide, contoured wood to support the shoulders — never wire.
Bags
Breathable cotton or canvas. Plastic breeds mildew.
Closet
Space between suits; cedar or lavender; away from sun.

“A good suit is an investment. Suit care is the return.”

Know your cloth

Care by fabric

Silk blendCool, gentle steam only; keep well away from direct heat.
BlendsFollow the care needs of the dominant fibre.
Travelling with a tailored suit
On the move

Travel

Arrive as ready as you are
Pack
Fold the jacket inside out at the shoulders and lay it flat.
Arrive
Hang it immediately; a steamy bathroom lifts light creases.
Carry
A compact steamer and a carry-on garment bag are worth it.
