Caring for your suit: the gestures that extend its life

Brushing, airing, hanging: a few simple gestures are enough to preserve a suit for years.

Caring for your suit: the gestures that extend its life

A quality suit is an investment. Well cared for, it will accompany you for many years.

Let it rest

Do not wear the same suit two days in a row. Wool fibres need twenty-four hours to recover their shape.

Brush rather than clean

Regular brushing with a horsehair brush removes dust and revives the fabric. Dry cleaning, which is too aggressive, should remain occasional.

Hang it properly

Use a wide hanger that follows the shape of the shoulders, and leave space between your garments in the wardrobe.

  1. Empty the pockets after each wear.
  2. Brush the jacket and trousers.
  3. Hang them in the open air for a few hours before putting them away.
