Investing in a bespoke suit is a significant commitment that can pay off in the long run. But to keep your investment looking its best, it’s crucial to care for it properly. In this guide, Milano Mens Fashion will provide expert tips and tricks for caring for your bespoke suit, ensuring it lasts for years and always looks its best.
Understanding the Fabric of Your Bespoke Suit
At Milano Mens Fashion, we offer bespoke suits made from a variety of fabrics, each with its unique characteristics and care instructions. Understanding how to care for the fabric of your suit is essential to maintaining its appearance and extending its lifespan.
Storing Your Bespoke Suit: Tips and Tricks
To maintain the shape and appearance of your bespoke suit, Milano Fine Mens Fashion recommends hanging it on a wooden or padded hanger instead of folding it. We also suggest using a wide hanger to support the weight of the suit and prevent shoulder bumps. Additionally, storing your suit in a breathable garment bag can protect it from dust and light.
Cleaning Your Bespoke Suit: Best Practices
When it comes to cleaning your bespoke suit, Milano Mens Fashion recommends spot cleaning immediately to prevent stains from setting. For more significant stains or general cleaning, we suggest taking your suit to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in suits. We also advise avoiding cleaning your suit too frequently to prevent fabric wear and tear.
It’s important to know how to handle common stains that can occur when wearing your bespoke suit. Milano Mens Fashion has some helpful tips and tricks to help you remove common stains like wine and food.
Wine Stains: If you spill wine on your bespoke suit, act quickly to prevent the stain from setting. Follow these steps to remove wine stains:
- Blot the wine stain with a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to absorb as much of the wine as possible.
- Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water and apply it to the stain with a clean cloth.
- Blot the stain with the cloth until the wine is no longer visible.
- Rinse the area with water and blot dry with a clean cloth.
Food Stains: Food stains can be unsightly on your bespoke suit. Follow these steps to remove food stains:
- Scrape off any excess food with a spoon or butter knife.
- Mix a solution of mild dish soap and warm water and apply it to the stain with a clean cloth.
- Blot the stain with the cloth until the food is no longer visible.
- Rinse the area with water and blot dry with a clean cloth.
Pressing and Steaming Your Bespoke Suit: How to Keep It Wrinkle-Free
Ironing can damage the fabric of your suit, so at Milano Mens Fashion, we suggest using a handheld steamer to gently steam the fabric to remove wrinkles. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. To prevent wrinkles, we recommend hanging your suit in a steamy bathroom to allow the wrinkles to loosen.
Minor Repairs for Your Bespoke Suit: How to Sew a Button and More
To prevent further damage to your suit, Milano Fine Mens Fashion recommends sewing on loose buttons with a sharp needle and matching thread. For loose threads, we suggest trimming them off with scissors instead of pulling them. If your suit has a small hole, patch it with a small piece of fabric that matches the suit, using a needle and thread to carefully sew the patch in place.
