A good suit is an investment — and like any investment, it needs the right care to keep it looking sharp. At Leven’s Clothing, we’ve been helping customers protect their suits for over 110 years. Here’s our expert guide to making sure your suit stays in top condition.

1. Don’t Over-Dry Clean

Dry cleaning too often can wear down fabric. Unless your suit is visibly dirty, aim to clean it only a few times per year. In between, spot clean small stains and use a fabric brush to remove dust and lint.

2. Rotate Between Suits

Wearing the same suit day after day puts stress on the fabric. If possible, keep at least two suits in your rotation so each has time to rest. This helps prevent premature wear and tear.

3. Use the Right Hangers

Always hang your suit on a wide, padded hanger that supports the shoulders. Thin wire hangers can distort the shape of the jacket over time.

4. Steam, Don’t Iron

Wrinkles happen, but ironing can damage wool fibers. A gentle steamer relaxes the fabric and keeps it looking fresh without burning or flattening the material.

5. Store Properly

When storing your suit long-term, use a breathable garment bag (never plastic) to protect it from dust while allowing air circulation. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Maintain the Fit with Alterations

Bodies change over time — and so should your suit. A quick alteration at Leven’s can bring an older suit back to life, keeping it comfortable and stylish for years to come.

Final Word: Treat Your Suit Like a Partner

A suit isn’t just clothing — it’s part of your personal brand. With proper care, your suit will continue to give you confidence and style for years.
