How Often to Wear and How to Properly Care for a Tailor-Made Suit

Wearing a suit is a symbol of elegance and refined taste. A tailor-made suit further enhances your originality and uniqueness. However, it is crucial to know how to properly care for and maintain your suit.

By following these tips, your suit will last for years.

In this article, we will cover everything you need to know and learn if you own or plan to own a tailor-made suit.

 

 

 

Wool Suits Are Among the Most Common. Why?

They are lightweight, breathable, pleasant to the touch, and look fantastic. However, to keep them looking as good as new, proper care is essential. If you take good care of your dream suit, you can extend its quality and durability for several years

 

Letting Your Suit Rest Properly

How to Do It?

A tailor-made suit from us is always crafted from natural materials. Such garments need time to rest. Ideally, a suit should not be worn more than three times a week. If you wear suits regularly to work, it is advisable to own at least two or three suits that you can rotate. This way, you will always have one on standby.

After each wear, allow your suit to rest for at least a day. During this time, it should be hung on a hanger in a well-ventilated space. Use the hanger provided with your suit, as it maintains the proper shoulder shape and structure of the jacket. Trousers should always be folded along the creases and hung on a hanger as well.

 

 

Proper Suit Handling

5 Essential Tips from Experts

1. ONLY A POCKET SQUARE BELONGS IN YOUR JACKET POCKET.

A gentleman carries a bag for necessary items. Overfilled pockets deform the suit’s proportions and can damage the fabric.

 

2. ALWAYS REMOVE YOUR JACKET BEFORE SITTING DOWN, SUCH AS IN A CAR.

Even a seatbelt can cause wear and tear by pressing the fabric.

 

3. ALWAYS HANG YOUR JACKET.

Ideally, use a hanger, but a coat rack or the back of a chair can work in certain cases. Always handle your jacket with care. With frequent wear, wool tends to wear out—particularly in high-friction areas like elbows and knees.

 

4. BE CAREFUL WITH WATER.

Unless your suit has a special water-resistant treatment that protects the wool, avoid getting it wet in the rain.

 

5. SITTING.

When sitting down or getting into a car, slightly pull up your trousers at the knees. This reduces tension on the seams and extends their lifespan.

 

How to Prevent Wear and Tear?

By following these simple care tips, you can prevent excessive wear and significantly extend the lifespan of your suit.

At Victoriano, our consultants will help you choose the right material and advise you on which fabrics should be worn less frequently and which can handle more regular use. It is essential to consider where and how often you will be wearing your suit.

If you have stronger thighs, you can have an additional reinforcing layer of fabric sewn into high-stress areas. This will considerably extend the durability of your trousers. Our consultants will gladly assist you with these adjustments.

Due to the increased strain on trousers compared to jackets, trousers often wear out sooner.

 

Dry Cleaning?

How Often Should a Suit Be Taken to the Dry Cleaners?

A tailor-made suit is an investment that pays off many times over—if you take proper care of it. If maintained well, it can be a long-term companion. The key is minimal dry cleaning. Ideally, a suit should only be professionally cleaned twice a year, unless it is heavily soiled. Victoriano suits are crafted from high-quality natural materials with self-cleaning properties. For regular maintenance, simply use steam to refresh the fabric or a clothing brush for coarser dirt. Over-cleaning wears down the fibers and reduces the lifespan of the suit.

 

Summary

In Conclusion

A wool tailor-made suit is an essential and versatile addition to your wardrobe.

It can be worn as a complete set or mixed with other pieces for a more casual look.

Proper suit care ensures that it will serve you well for years to come, always keeping you looking elegant and refined.
