Alterations and Dry Cleaning for Formal Wear

Better ask John - for the best dry cleaning and alteration service for your formal wear.

How often should I dry clean formal wear?

Formal wear can be required for many occasions. Whether it’s a special wedding, graduation ceremony, Christmas party or a corporate event, the focus is so often the outfit. If you’re relying on a special garment which has been hung in your wardrobe for several months - a ball gown or dinner suit for instance, there’s every chance it will need freshening up and carefully pressing. Instead of trying to wash your delicate garment at home, Johnsons can ensure your precious clothes get the special treatment they deserve.

Professional Formal Wear Dry Cleaning at Designer Dry Cleaners avoids the risks associated with home washing, such as shrinkage and colour loss. So, if you’re hoping to dress to impress at your next black-tie function, allow us to do the hard work for you.

After the event, why not drop your garments back into your local Designer Dry Cleaners branch? Any red wine stains, food spillages or stale odours can usually be removed. You can then store your garment in pristine condition, ready for that next special occasion.

John's tips on keeping your suits looking new

• Before hanging your suit jackets use the clothes brush to brush them frequently after wearing. It helps to removes dirt and lint buildup on the suit. It also helps to rejuvenate the wool and prevent it from shining.
• Unbutton the suit jackets and remove any items in the pockets. This will not strain and weigh on the jacket’s pocket of the suit and keep it in its original shape.
• A very important aspect of Mens suits care is to always have your suit jackets hung on good coat hangers that entail broad with rounded shoulder supports. No matter how long your suit is left on it, the support from the hangers will keep your suit jackets in shape. Avoid metal wire hangers for suits. They will never be able to lay a good foundation for hanging any mens suits. If a hanger is not available, fold your suit jackets inside out with shoulders touching. By doing so, it prevents any possible dirt staining on the outer fabric of the suit.
• Make more space within your wardrobe which allows your suit jackets to hang and drape nicely without creasing
