Custom mens suits are definitely not an inexpensive buy. This could also be the reason why most people do not wear these suits on a daily basis, but instead reserve them for special occasions. Of course the initial cost of these suits is high, but it is also true that they require special maintenance too and are definitely not a machine wash and dry garment. All this does add to the cost of the suit. Fortunately Bond St Custom Clothiers offers made to measure custom suits and shirts for men and that too at a reasonable price.
Knowing how to clean and store your
custom men suits can add several years to the life of these suits and allow you to make the most of the money that you spent on these clothes.
Some tips on caring for these suits are listed below
Dry cleaning There is no custom made suit that you can throw into the washing machine and not damage it. Suits and dry cleaning come as a package deal. Right from woolens to linens, suits need to go to the dry cleaner in order to be cleaned. The pants and the coat will both need to be dry cleaned together. You can try and clean the shirt at home, but make sure that you do not attempt to wash the tie ever, since this too will need the services of a dry cleaner. When sending in a suit for dry cleaning, do ensure that the pockets are empty and accessories like cufflinks, hankies, etc have been removed.
Steam iron Custom men suits will need to be ironed out before you wear them. A crumpled suit is no ones idea of style. The best way to iron a suit is to work with a steam iron. Keep in mind that ironing a suit not only helps to keep it crisp but also guards it against mold and prevents trips to the drycleaners. The seams of the coat will need to be ironed out first followed by the collar. Always make sure that the dial of the iron is set in keeping with the fabric of the suit, so as to ensure that you do not damage the suit in any way. Of course the suits can always be fresh stored at a dry cleaners.
Storage Since most people do not wear custom men suits on a daily basis, storage is an integral part of buying these suits. Most suits come with their covers and if not, it will help to buy a few. The suit must always be kept in their covers and stored away from moisture since molds can ruin a suit completely. It is also advisable to keep a few naphthalene balls in the suit cover, so as to ward off silver fish like insects that can bite into the fabric.
Custom men suits are an integral part of a professional attire and caring for the suit properly will ensure that you are able to make the right impact on people. Keep the tips listed above in mind in order to make the most of your suit. Working with established dealers for custom suits will help to know more about the upkeep of the suit.
