CRANE BROTHERS SUITS USE ONLY NATURAL MATERIALS AND ALL FINISHING IS COMPLETED BY HAND.

HERE YOU WILL FIND OUR ADVICE ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THE LOOK AND SHAPE OF YOUR SUIT.

CARING FORYOUR SUIT

This bag should be used for transporting the garments only, and is not suitable for storage. The shoulder of a suit should sit forward so that the coat hangs straight. A badly hung coat will sag and lose shape.

HANGING

Likewise, always hang your trousers over the hanger, folded along the crease lines. Try not to crush your suits in the wardrobe and allow the fibres to breathe.

Your suit will come with a shaped hanger and protective suit bag.

Make sure you use a reputable firm and ask our staff for recommendations. We use Regal Dry-Cleaners in Auckland and Mall Dry-Cleaners in Wellington.

Don’t over-do it. Dry-cleaning is very effective at lifting stains, but only because it is harsh on the fibres. On average you should expect to dry-clean your suits around twice a year or less, and as a good rule of thumb don’t dry-clean your suit unless it’s been soiled. Overly frequent dry-cleaning can, again, irreparably damage your suit.

The dry-cleaning process is not what causes the garments to come back perfectly pressed - this is a separate process, which can be requested without the harsh cleaning treatment if you’re simply looking to get your suit back in shape after a hard night out (or in).

Wherever possible, avoid ‘convenience’ vendors such as one hour or same day services.

DRY-CLEANINGBad dry-cleaning will do irreversible damage to your suit.

The abrasive quality of dust, combined with friction from wear, is what causes suits to ‘glaze’ or shine up.

Always brush in long sweeping movements and never use a circular or scrubbing motion. Brushing with the grain of the fabric will produce the best results.

BRUSHINGRegular brushing with a stiff brush will remove dust build-up.

Hanging your suit in your bathroom whilst running a hot shower is a great way to get it back in shape as the steam helps to relax the fibres.A good cloth has a ‘memory’ and moisture, heat and gravity will generally help it return to it’s original shape.

PRESSING

If the wrinkles beat you, take it to your drycleaner and have them press the suit (as opposed to having the suit cleaned). Alternatively bring the suit in to us and we can have it pressed for you.

If your suit is wrinkled do not iron it.

Most small stains can be gently removed using a baby wipe or cold water, however if in doubt do not try and remove the stain yourself as you may exacerbate it.

STAINSIt is inevitable that you will stain your suit at some stage.
