Here at J.Hilburn, we want your Clients to love our garments as much as we do. Part of that love and appreciation starts with how you care for your clothing. Below are some tips that we strongly recommend following in order to increase the life span and wearability of our Made-to-Measure Suiting.
#1: ROOM TO BREATHE
Storing sportcoats and trousers correctly directly relates to how they perform. It is important to hang them with ample space between items so they can breathe, release moisture, and recover. Not wearing the same item multiple days in a row will also aid in the recovery process.
#2: QUALITY COUNTS
When correctly storing sportcoats and trousers, it’s important to use quality hangers such as cedar wood. These will help maintain the shape and integrity of each garment, while warding off moisture accumulation and moths. To further reduce stress on garment seams, store all sportcoats unbuttoned and trousers unzipped.
#3: DRY CLEAN SPARINGLY
Just as we do not suggest dry cleaning for our shirts, we do not suggest it more than once a year for our jackets and only slightly more frequently for trousers, as they can show wear more readily. If your Client feels a dry cleaner is necessary, be sure to do your research and find a reputable one. We recommend that you wash cotton trousers in cold water and hang to dry. For wrinkled garments, we suggest having them pressed rather than dry cleaned. Maintain cleanliness by routinely cleaning trousers with a clothing brush to remove dust and debris.
J.Hilburn has access to the finest mills in the world. Our fabrics are very special and therefore deserve special care. By following the tips listed above, Clients will be happier with their products and increase their life span.
