Q: Should I launder my new custom shirts before I wear them?
A: Yes. Your new custom shirts, if cared for by the instructions sewn on the shirt tail, will last longer and perform to the high standards by which they were made. All natural fibers will shrink to some degree and that shrinkage allowance is built into each shirt.
Please allow 3-5 launderings for shirts to shrink to the size ordered.
Q: How often should I dry clean my new suits/sportcoats?
A: Contrary to popular belief, the only reason to ever dry clean your tailored clothing is if you have dirt or food stains on the garments that won’t come out with a little water and brushing. Dry cleaning chemicals are very harsh and can cause damage by stripping the fibers of their natural oils and luster.
We can help prolong the life of your garment by providing a safe and effective alternative to dry cleaning. We advise our customers to bring their wrinkled suits, sportcoats and trousers into Savile Row where we will freshen them up with pressing and spot cleaning when necessary.
