Care for Your Tailored Garments

A well-made garment rewards a little attention. Treated properly, the pieces you invest in today will look their best for years to come.

The Long View

Made to Last a Lifetime

If you care for tailored garments properly, they should last many years, giving you greater wearability and a look of style that is timeless.

01

Hang It Right

After every wearing, hang up your suit jacket on a wide hanger to retain the shoulder shape.

02

Mind the Crease

To maintain a just-pressed look, be sure the creases in the pant legs line up when draped over the pant bar.

03

Steam, Don't Iron

Steam your tailored garments, rather than ironing, and only when needed.

04

Clean Sparingly

Dry clean only if it is necessary, and only a few times a year. Excessive cleaning can cause tailored garments to lose shape and potentially damage or fade the fabric due to the heat used in the dry cleaning process.

05

Lose the Plastic

Remove the plastic covering used by dry cleaners. Plastic can weaken the fibers.
