Entretien
Rotation
Never wear the same suit two days running. Allow it to rest for 24-48 hours between wears so the wool fibres can recover their shape.
Storage
Always hang the jacket and trousers on suitable hangers. Empty the pockets to prevent distortion. Brush regularly to remove dust and lint.
Cleaning
Dry clean a maximum of 2-3 times per year. In between, a brush and a garment steamer are sufficient. Excessive cleaning wears out the fabric prematurely.
