Tips on Preserving Clothing

Brush and Air Out After each wear, use a natural bristle brush to remove lint, dust, and dirt particles. This prevents the fibers from weakening and allows the fabric to recuperate. Hang your suit in a well-ventilated area for at least one day before storing it.

Proper Storing Techniques When putting away your suits, ensure there’s ample space to avoid creasing and fabric wear. For long-term storage, utilize garment bags, preferably of natural materials, to protect against dust and moths without stifling the fabric.

Spot Cleaning At the first sign of a stain, gently blot – never rub – the area with a clean cloth and cold water. For more resilient stains, trust a professional cleaner who understands how to treat bespoke fabrics.

Steam, Don’t Iron Ironing can flatten the natural pile of the fabric. Opt for steaming to remove wrinkles without damaging the suit’s integrity. A professional steamer is ideal, but during travel, hanging your suit in the bathroom while showering can suffice.

Regular, Professional Dry-Cleaning While frequent dry-cleaning is harmful, occasional professional attention is beneficial. A qualified cleaner can expertly clean and press your bespoke suit without damaging the fabric.

Mindful Use of Accessories Metal accessories can snag your suit fabric. Be attentive when adding or removing items such as badges, lapel pins, or tie clips.

Consider Seasonal Rotations Alternate your suiting with the season. Heavy fabrics in winter and lighter ones in summer prevent overuse of any one garment, allowing for natural fabric recovery.

Avoid Overstuffing Pockets Maintain your suit’s silhouette by keeping pocket contents to a minimum. Overloading can distort the shape and drape of the fabric over time.

Deal promptly with Repairs If you notice a loose thread or button, address it immediately to avoid further damage. A skilled tailor can often perform repairs invisibly, retaining your suit’s pristine look.

Understanding the Fabric’s Nature Each material – from wool to vegan alternatives – requires different care. Rosie Hong’s expertise extends to a variety of vegan fabrics, ensuring the preservation of suits no matter the material.
