I am looking for fabric care information

General fabric care instructions are provided with every garment we deliver. All wool items must be dry cleaned only. Cotton and cotton blends can be machine washed in cold water but we recommend hand washing for durability. Natural drying is preferred over machine drying and hand washing over machine washing for all our cotton and cotton blend products. Pure silk or silk blends should be hand washed or dry cleaned. No garment should have a hot iron applied directly on it; place a white linen cloth between the iron and the custom garment or the item can be ironed from the reverse side. Steam pressing is also a good option. Use a very hot iron for pressing pure cotton cloth. Dry clean only and steam press for our wool or silk products.

If you have stains on your suits, here are a few quick fixes that can save you from always having them dry cleaned:
- Lipstick: Use hot water to rub off the oil base, then use soap to wash clean the stain
- Blood: Rub off with hydrogen peroxide
- Ink: Use gasoline to rub off stain, then wash off with soap
- Chewing gum: Do not attempt to peel it off as it will stick deeper into the fabric fiber. Put ice on it to solidify the gum, then peel it off when it hardens.
- Drinks: Use diluted vinegar to wash it off
- Soy Sauce: Rub off with ginger juice
- Shoe Polish: Rub off with gasoline
- Coffee: Rub with hot water, then wash off with soap
- Rust: Rub off with lemon
- Perfume stain: Rub off gently with rubbing alcohol
