Why suits need a different programme
Under the outer cloth of a jacket sits an interlining that gives it shape. In cheaper suits it is fused, in better ones it is stitched in. Fused interlining can separate under too much heat or agitation, after which the front panels bubble permanently. No amount of pressing repairs that.
So we clean suits on a programme with low agitation and a low drying temperature, then finish on a form and by hand. The lapel keeps its roll, the shoulder seam stays clean and the trouser crease returns exactly where it belongs.
A suit does not need cleaning after every wear. Two to four times a season is enough for most people unless something has been spilled. Over-cleaning wears the cloth faster than wearing it does.
Always clean the full suit
Clean jacket and trousers together even when only one is soiled. Otherwise the two pieces drift apart in colour and you will see it in daylight.
What we do with your suit
- Check for stains, holes, loose buttons and damaged lining
- Empty and set aside the contents of every pocket
- Pre-treat stains by hand, choosing a product per stain type
- Clean on a programme suited to wool, blends or cotton
- Form-finish, then hand-press lapels, shoulders and collar
- Return trousers with a sharp crease, on a clamp hanger
Tuxedos, three-piece and wedding suits
For weddings, galas and formal dinners we also clean tuxedos, three-piece suits and wedding suits. Satin lapels and silk trims are pressed with less pressure so the sheen survives.
