A: It is important to note that fine fabrics need to be handled with care to preserve their integrity. Simplify wardrobe maintenance and get years of enjoyment out of your fine clothing with these simple tricks that you can employ to keep your clothes looking fresh and save on trips to the cleaners.
1. A simple wooden hanger with formed shoulders, that properly fits the shoulder proportion, can preserve a suit jacket while wooden pinchers are best for trousers. If you do not have pinchers draping is fine too.
2. A natural bristle brush and tape rollers can be used in all directions on clothes without nap, while a "go with the grain" approach should be taken on clothes with a napped surface, such as flannel, to remove most dust, pet hair and dried stains.
3. A little steam can go a long way if your suits, trousers or sportsjackets are slightly wrinkled.
4. If you spill an oily substance on your clothing, don't immediately go for the club soda, as this will usually worsen the problem and can destroy the finish of a fabric. Instead, blot, do not rub, with a white paper towel or clean white cloth and take to the cleaners as promptly as possible. This also goes for heavy perspiration.
5. Don't over clean. Dry cleaning is a chemical process and should be used only on the toughest stains, whereas spot cleaning and pressing is sufficient for most everyday wear.
Savile Row offers convenient spot cleaning and pressing services with a quick turn around time.
