Tim’s Tips: Caring for your suit

Now that the big day is over and your suit has ended up in a crumpled heap on the floor, you might be wondering, what do I do with it now? Here are a few simple tips to help you care for your suit and keep it looking its best.

1.

Start by inspecting your suit. If you spilled something or your aunties makeup left a mark on your shoulder, try spot cleaning. Dab the area gently with fragrance free baby wipes or micellar water. Never rub the mark, as that can set the stain. For more stubborn marks, it’s best to take your suit to a professional dry cleaner.

2.

Consider investing in a steamer. A steamer is a smart addition to your wardrobe care kit. It easily smooths out creases and helps refresh your suit. The hot steam not only removes wrinkles, but also neutralises odours and sanitises the fabric, all without the need for dry cleaning.

3.

Store your suit properly. All T.Begg garments come with a suit bag, which is ideal for transporting your suit and protecting it from dust. However, for everyday storage, your suit needs to breathe. Hang it in a well ventilated space with room around it to prevent creasing, moisture build-up, and musty odours. Always use the structured hanger provided, it will help to maintain the shape of your jacket and prevent shoulder dimpling.

Looking after your suit doesn’t take much, but a little care goes a long way. Follow these tips and your T.Begg suit will stay sharp, clean, and ready for the next occasion.
