Most men do not take good care of their suits. After a long day of work they throw their suit on the floor or toss their coat on a hook. But the biggest mistake a man can make is dry cleaning his suits too often. The dry cleaner uses harsh chemicals that can damage the natural fibers of the cloth, weakening and thinning them. As a result, the material at high traction areas, like the elbows and crotch, will wear down faster. While dry cleaning is still the most effective way to remove dirt from a garment, it should be understood that a suit is usually not that dirty.
Any dirt or dust that your suit could accumulate in a day’s time can easily be brushed off in the evening. Just hang up your jacket and pants and brush them with a soft bristled brush. This brushing can remove the specks of dirt before they go deep into the fabric.
If you brush your suit regularly after wear, it should only need to be dry cleaned twice a year. Also remember to hang your suit up every night and wait a day before wearing it again to let it naturally drape out its wrinkles. On occasion, you may steam your suit on its hanger to remove any last wrinkles with a portable steamer or an iron with a steam setting on low heat. If the crease in your trousers softens over time, this can be steamed back with an iron (on low heat).
Remember, your suit is an investment, so make sure to take care of it so every dollar is worn to the fullest.

Nicholas Joseph is proud to announce the addition of Zegna cloths to our fabrics available for custom clothing.
Founded in 1910 in Trivero and now based in Milan, Italy, Zegna is know through out the world as the premier innovators of fabrics for off-the-rack suits and custom suits alike. Famous for their Milanese flair in regards to their fabric patterns, its easy to overlook the quality that Ermenegildo Zegna has been at the fore front of for decades. They were the first textile house to produce super 100’s wool custom suit fabric, an innovation they first achieved in the 1960’s. An accomplishment made more amazing by the fact that it took most other mills till the early 1990’s to catch up.
Today they continue their trail blazing ways with Trofeo, the flagship of Zegna custom suit cloth, secretly used by top designers for their own suits. A staple for many custom suit makers, Ermenegildo Zegna is favored by top dignitaries, heads of state and CEOs the world over.
