Jeff shows you the importance of taking care of your suits

A common mistake we notice when gentleman store their suits is the hanger it sits on. The proper hanger is vital for maintaining the longevity and shape of your garment. Our advice is a wide shoulder wooden hanger. This type of hanger provides the best support for the shoulders so that they don’t lose their shape.

Stay away from wire hangers, plastic hanger, and thin wooden hangers when hanging any of your suits, specifically the jacket as these not do their job of keeping the garment secure. Additionally, the best hangers also contain a felt covered sway bar. These felt bars allow your trousers to drape without leaving wrinkles or creases. They also prevent the trouser from falling off the hanger.
