Maintaining your luxury woolen suits, jackets and trousers can be quite easy as wool is naturally stain-resistant and many common stains can be easily removed. It always pays to act quickly to prevent stains from setting into the fabric. Here are some helpful tips for you.

Garment Care

Empty pockets before storing or washing.
Remove your belt and empty pockets of your suit to avoid sagging and bulging.
Store suits with closures zipped or buttoned.
Brush your suit lengthwise after wearing to remove surface soil and dust.
Air your suit to remove odors, hang your suit out in fresh air on a shaped or padded hanger.
Rest your suit for 24hours before wearing again. The natural resilience of wool allows it to shed wrinkles and return to its natural shape.
Woolen garments can be refreshed by hanging them in a steamy bathroom. Moisture from the steam will remove wrinkles.
Dry away from direct heat if your suit gets wet; dry it at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Woolen suit garments do not require ironing, but smooth fabrics may look better if pressed.
Wool suits should be dry-cleaned sparingly. Otherwise it can go shiny. Use a reputable dry cleaner and identify spots or stains for special treatment.
