Tips From Your Tailor

Zippers:
Always button your pants before pulling up the zipper! Closing the zipper first could place pressure on the teeth and easily damage them. If your zipper is stuck, don't force it! Forcing it will most likely damage the key or teeth. Remove the garment carefully without forcing the zipper and bring it in.

Suits:
Suit jackets should only be dry cleaned when absolutely necessary. In general, as little as possible. Air out your garment to remove odors before storing it in your closet adn buy a fabric brush to remove lint or light dirt.

Prevent Moth Holes:
make sure wool clothing is clean before storing for the season as moths are attracted to food and perspiration stains. Use natural moth detterents like aromotic cedar as they are less offensive to humans than moth balls (yuck).
