How should a suit be cared for in everyday use?

Generally speaking, a formal suit has a lifespan of about 4 to 6 years; with proper care, it can last up to ten years or even longer.
1. It is not recommended to wear the same pair of shoes for more than two consecutive days.
High-end suit sets are typically made from natural fibers. After wearing, these suits may lose their shape due to stress, but they can regain their original form with adequate rest.
2. Use a professional suit brush.
All custom-tailored suits contain wool, available in half-wool and pure-wool varieties. Dust or stains can dull the fabric’s luster; we recommend gently brushing off any debris with a professional suit brush before returning the garment to your wardrobe.
3. Store by hanging on a wooden hanger.
Suit jackets should be hung on wide‑shoulder, wooden, curved hangers. Once hung, place the suit in a dust cover to protect it from friction and dust.
4. Hang dress pants using a dedicated trouser hanger.
Suit trousers can be hung on a dedicated trouser rack in a crossed‑over style, allowing the weight of the fabric to gently smooth out any forward‑protruding creases at the knees. This method saves space while keeping the pants crisp; for best results, give the folded areas a quick steam with a garment steamer before wearing.
5. Folding a suit when traveling
If you need to travel or go on a business trip, you can fold your suit using the following three methods—this will minimize crushing while also saving space.
Method 1: First, turn the suit inside out, taking care not to pull the sleeves out in reverse. Fold the shoulders of the suit in half, then make a horizontal crease; this will help prevent any wrinkles from forming on the collar.
Method 2: First, fold one of the two shoulder seams inward, then tuck the other shoulder into the fold you just created. Once the top edge is neatly aligned, ensure symmetry, and then fold the edge in half. To protect the shoulders, start by folding the lower portion up first, and then layer the shoulder seam on top. This prevents the shoulders from being crushed, keeping your suit from losing its shape.
Method 3: Fold the suit in half, inside out, place it beneath other garments, and then roll the entire bundle into a tight cylinder. This approach saves space while ensuring the suit remains free of creases on the inside.
