Wearing a tuxedo is a great and wonderful experience that is done by most people a few times a year. Since this garment is only used a few times a year it makes sense that a persons tuxedo is in storage most of the time.
This piece was written to offer advice on how to properly store tuxedos. Upon finishing this article you will know more about tuxedo storage than you did before.
Examining the tuxedo for discoloration is the first step that needs to be taken. Be sure to eliminate any stains before they have time to set into the fabric. This is much easier if you do it right after the event rather than after it has been stored for a year.
Make sure there aren't any rips or absent buttons before deciding to lock your tuxedo away. Examining the tuxedo for these defects will give you the ability to fix them before putting the tux away and having to deal with it a year from now.
Storage placement needs to be the next operation to look into. Be positive that you are placing your tux in a place that is out of direct sunlight and extremely clean. You do not want to find a dirty or faded tuxedo in place of the nice one you put away a year or two ago.
Be afraid of the damages that moths can inflict on clothing. Use this fear in a healthy way to remind yourself to place some sort of cedar material in and around your tuxedo to keep moths away.
Lastly make sure to air out the tuxedo occasionally and check it for a proper fit. Bodies shrink and expand and sometimes clothes that fit six months ago will not fit today.
