Tips to Extend the Life Span of Your Bespoke Suits
How to Make Your Suit Last Longer
Finding a suit that fits you perfectly, suits your taste, and is stylish and comfortable is a dream come true! Although this is not a common occurrence, we all have a suit that is our favorite, and nothing can be more heartbreaking than parting with such clothing too soon.
Bespoke suits in Dubai, designer suits, and other high-quality pieces tend to last longer, but their shelf life can be increased further by following certain precautions. A few easy tips can ensure a longer life of your favorite suit.
Cleaning
Most suits are fit for dry cleaning, and it might seem compelling to give your suit away too, after some wear and tear, but this is not healthy for your suit. Dry cleaning is done using harsh chemicals which, when used too frequently, can wear down the fabric. The dry cleaning process “scrapes away” the fabric’s top layer. The fibres eventually begin to deteriorate.
Having your bespoke suits of Dubai professionally pressed can be a good alternative. The steam and temperature will typically destroy most microbes and sufficiently clean the suits, which is less expensive than dry cleaning.
Ironing
Unlike dry cleaning, steaming or ironing of the suit can be done after every wear. The process will bring back the stiffness and natural look of the fabric. You must also ensure the iron is not directly in contact with the material. If you use a hot iron directly, you run the danger of “scorching” the fabric (making it shiny). Therefore always ensure that you have a pressing cloth when ironing your suit.
Periods of Rest
Constantly wearing a suit without letting it sit can lead to premature abrasion. Just like any other piece of clothing bespoke suits of Dubai have a longer life if provided with enough time to sit and dry between wears.
Storing
The way you tend to your suit after use has a significant effect on its shelf-life. Make sure to hang your suit as soon as you remove it. The best method is a hanger with a pant bar and a complete shoulder. The suit can take on its original shape, dry off any moisture, and eventually have an increased lifespan.
If you plan on storing the suit away for a longer duration, keep it in the garment bag to avoid moths, moisture, or loss of the fabric’s natural color.
Suit brush
With every wear, your suit will accommodate dust, dirt, and bacteria, causing the loss of the natural shine of the fabric. Suit brushes are specifically designed to prevent this. Investing your 30 minutes in this task can ensure a longer life for your bespoke suit of Dubai.
