Welcome to McLeods Carterton online store for quality men's suits and trousers.
Like any investment, your suit deserves to be looked after. The following tips will help improve the life of your garment.
Hanging
We recommend using the special hanger supplied with your suit or jacket. The wide shoulder arms of the hanger ensures correct support.
Rest your garment
Rotate the wearing of the items in your wardrobe. We strongly recommend you ‘rest’ your suit (or jacket/trouser) for a full day after wearing.
Brushing/airing
Periodic brushing with a natural bristle clothes brush and outside airing will freshen-up your garment and help maintain its original appearance.
Pocket contents
Placing bulky or sharp edged items in pockets can damage linings and pockets.
Dry cleaning
We recommend you ask your local menswear retailer for advice on a reputable dry cleaner.
Stains or marks
Ask your dry cleaner to spot clean the affected area. It’s not always necessary to have the garment completely dry cleaned.
Pressing
If your garment is creased and in need of pressing, we suggest the following options:
• Take to a dry cleaner and ask for a press only.
• Press the affected parts yourself using a clean damp cloth between the iron and garment outer fabric.
• Hang your garment for a few minutes in a steamed up bathroom then leave overnight to dry. This is particularly useful if you’re travelling.
