The Ultimate Guide to Suit Maintenance: Easy and Effective Tips

Investing in luxury custom suits means investing in timeless elegance and craftsmanship. To preserve the beauty and structure of your bespoke suits, you must adopt a refined care routine that respects the premium materials and precision tailoring.

Whether you own custom tailored suits or made to measure suits, this expert guide will show you how to keep them looking impeccable for years to come.

How Often Should You Dry Clean High-End Suits?

Dry cleaning should be used sparingly. For premium suits, we recommend limiting professional dry cleaning to twice a year, or only when absolutely necessary. Overexposure to chemicals can wear down natural fibres. Spot cleaning and brushing should be your go-to for regular maintenance.

Daily Suit Maintenance: Brush & Air

• Brush daily: Use a natural bristle brush to remove dust and particles without damaging the fabric of your custom made suits.
• Air it out: After each wear, let your luxury men's suits breathe. Hang them on wide wooden hangers and avoid crowded closets to maintain shape.

Refresh and Deodorize With Steam

Steaming is your best friend. Steam penetrates fabric fibres, removes odours, and revives the drape of your exclusive suits without degrading the material. Tools like Laurastar’s DMS steamer provide deep purification, reducing the need for frequent washing.

Ironing Premium Suits at Home

Yes, you can iron high-end suits at home — but only with the right equipment. Use irons with protective soleplates to avoid shine marks, and always iron on low heat or steam vertically to preserve delicate fibres like silk and wool blends.

Wrinkle Removal On the Go

Frequent travelers can keep their custom tailored suits flawless with a portable steamer. Compact steamers like Laurastar's IGGI allow you to refresh garments quickly, making them essential for business trips or formal events.

Proper Storage of Bespoke Suits

Never store luxury tailoring without cleaning it first. Sweat and dirt attract moths and cause deterioration. Use broad-shouldered hangers, breathable garment bags, and store in a cool, dry space. Steam both suit and closet periodically to prevent pests and maintain freshness.

Final Thoughts

With the right care routine, your luxury custom suits will always project sophistication and style. By integrating brushing, steaming, and proper storage into your wardrobe habits, you ensure that your bespoke and high-end suits stay crisp, clean, and truly timeless.
