Suit Care
"Respect yourself and your possessions."
- Sylvia Black
Suit care should be on the top of your to do list once you purchase your suit. Some things to consider are: dry cleaning, tailoring, storage and moth protection.
Why?
Moth Protection - It would be a great tragedy if you wore a $1,000.00 suit once and then found it had been eaten by moths the second time you went to wear it.
Suit Storage - You'll want to have your suit ready to wear at all times which means curled up in a ball under your bed is not an option.
Suit Alterations - Unless you plan on staying the exact same size all of your life you will probably need to find a good tailor.
Dry Cleaning - If you decide to just pop your suit in the washing machine you can probably forget about ever being able to wear it again.
