How to Take Care of Your Suit: Dry Cleaning, Wrinkles, Daily Maintenance & Traveling Tips

Most men damage their suits without realizing it — often by dry cleaning too frequently or using the wrong methods to remove wrinkles. In this video, I break down how to properly take care of a wool suit, covering when (and when not) to dry clean, how to get wrinkles out safely, and what daily maintenance actually extends the life of your suit. If you wear suits for work, business travel, or formal occasions, this guide will help you keep your tailoring looking sharp for years. Drawing on over 20 years in menswear and bespoke tailoring, I share practical, professional suit care advice that most guides leave out: how wool naturally recovers when hung correctly, why brushing and ventilation matter more than steaming, and when pressing or professional cleaning is truly necessary. Whether you own a bespoke suit, made-to-measure suit, or ready-to-wear wool suit, this video covers the essential suit care fundamentals every man should know. 00:00 - Intro 00:35 - Dry Cleaning Your Suit 01:46 - Hanging Your Suit 02:52 - Wrinkles, Steaming & Pressing 04:39 - Brushing & Airing Out 06:02 - Travel & Packing Tips 06:51 - Long Term Storage 07:17 - Spot Cleaning ___________ If you’d like to work on custom tailoring together, send me a message and we’ll book a video call: https://www.principlem.com/contact Here’s how my virtual fitting process works: https://www.principlem.com/shop-all/p...
