The Suit Brush
After
you wear the suit, You should brush your suit to
get it looking right, suits, particularly those
made of wool. In order to ensure that a suit lasts
as long as you would like it to, along with
occasionally dry-cleaning, brushing after every
wear is the best way to protect your investment. A
suit brush looks just like your regular hairbrush
with a wooden or plastic body/handle and synthetic
bristles or real animal hair if you fancy. When it
comes to your suits, You should go as fancy
as you can afford so you should buy a quality soft
men's suit brush with natural animal hair because
you don't get bristles that are too coarse that
could potentially damage your suit. The
fabric of a suit wears over time as dirt and
unseen particles build up which eventually affects
the integrity of the fabric causing it to weaken
and stop looking as good. A decent suit brush will
help you prolong its life.
The Hanger
Hangers are crucial when it comes to suiting. If
you put your suit jacket a wire hanger. I'm
pretty sure it will cringed your suit
visibly. Your choice of hanger can help maintain
the shape of your jacket and ultimately help it
last longer. For the most part, we know what a
good suit hanger looks like with the wide
shoulders. Now, again like the suit brush, it's up
to your pockets to determine how much you want to
shell out for one.
The suit hanger will also help smooth out any
wrinkles that you end up with during the course of
your day, whether its from driving or leaning up
against a wall. If you do wear suits to work and
take off your jacket during the day, I advise
keeping a hanger at the office versus hanging it
over the back of your chair as this could impact
its shape as well.
The Cloth Suit
Bag
Along
with a good hanger, a suit bag, specifically a
cloth one can really also help with protecting
that suit collection you've been working on
building. Why cloth instead of the plastic or
canvas joints that you sometimes get when you buy
a new suit? Well, cloth allows air to pass through
the bag which allows your suit breathe. Usually
you want to wait a day or so after wearing a suit
to put it into a bag. The air flowing through the
cloth bag will help protect the suit from moths
and wrinkles. |
