Dress Pants: Cleaning and Pressing

The Pants Wear Out Before the Jacket: A Common Problem with Suits

In the same suit, the pants are worn harder and get dirtier than the jacket: sitting, walking, rubbing, and hems touching the ground. So many people have the pants cleaned on their own.

But each cleaning removes a tiny amount of dye. Clean the pants alone and over time they will differ in shade from the jacket, and this difference cannot be corrected later.

We recommend sending the whole suit.

Of course, if the pants are not part of a suit, just send them on their own.

The Center Crease: The Backbone of Dress Pants

The line of a pair of pants is defined by the front and back center creases. If the crease is loose, off position or doubled, the whole pair looks limp.

How we handle it:

• Pressed along the original crease, never repositioned
• The front crease is pressed from the hem up and aligned with the pleat (on pleated pants, the crease and the pleat form one straight line)
• No double crease lines: if the original crease has faded, we first relax it with steam and then set it again, rather than pressing a new line straight on top

Shine: Common Damage on Dark Dress Pants

Under heat and pressure, the surface of wool fibers gets flattened and starts to reflect light, leaving a shiny patch that cannot be reversed. This is called shine. The high-risk areas on dress pants are the seat and the front of the thighs. These areas already get constant rubbing in daily wear, and if temperature or pressure is not controlled during pressing, shine appears right away.

Dry Cleaning Has Limits, and We Will Tell You Honestly

Dry-cleaning solvent is non-polar. It works on oily soil, but the salt, urea and amino acids in sweat are water-soluble, and dry cleaning cannot remove them. The inside of the waistband and the seat are where sweat builds up. With only dry cleaning over a long time, these areas gradually yellow and the fabric stiffens.

If you don't mind, we can use professional wet cleaning instead: it gets your pants cleaner and is healthier too.

Please Tell Us Before Sending

• Part of a suit or a single item (we strongly recommend sending the whole suit)
• Tailored pants (the waist and crotch are handled differently from ready-to-wear)
• Linen, silk blends or velvet
• Cuffed hems (turn-ups; the original fold must be kept)
• Areas that already have shine, moth holes or repairs
• Wear at the crotch and inner thighs (this is where dress pants usually wear through first; areas that are already fuzzing may get worse after cleaning)
• Wear or loose threads inside the hems
• Hems that have been altered (the stitching position affects pressing)

What We Don't Do

• No repositioning of the center crease
• No direct pressing on areas that already have shine
• No high-heat pressing
• No washing together with other clothes in the same machine

Storing Them After Pickup

• Hang them upside down by the hems on a clip hanger, so their own weight keeps the lines straight. Folding them over a bar creates a second crease at the knees
• If you must fold them for lack of space, line up the center creases first, then fold
• Don't pack the closet too tightly; leave room for wrinkles to fall out naturally
• After wearing, brush off surface dust with a soft clothes brush along the grain, so it doesn't set into stains later
• Always clean them before long-term storage to remove body oils and reduce the risk of moths
