How to Properly Store Your Blazers and Pants

Your wardrobe is an investment—and how you store your garments can make all the difference in preserving their quality and lifespan. Blazers and pants, in particular, are staples of a modern man’s closet, and they require proper care and organization. Whether you wear them for work, weddings, or casual-chic events, following the right storage practices will keep them crisp, structured, and ready to wear. At Wessi, we not only offer high-quality men's suits, jackets, and trousers, but we also care about helping you maintain them for years to come.

Here’s a simple yet effective guide on how to properly store your blazers and pants.

1. Use the Right Hangers

One of the biggest mistakes men make is hanging blazers and pants on thin, wire hangers. These can cause shoulder puckering, sagging, or creases. Instead:

• Choose wide-shouldered, wooden hangers for your blazers to preserve the shape and structure.

• For trousers, use clamp hangers to hang them by the hem, or drape them over the bar of a wooden hanger to avoid creases.

At Wessi, we recommend investing in high-quality hangers for every suit purchase. Your garments will thank you.

2. Give Them Room to Breathe

Cramming your blazers and pants into a tightly packed closet not only wrinkles them but also reduces airflow, which can lead to odor buildup over time. Ideally:

• Leave space between each item so the fabric can breathe.

• Don’t fold your suits for long-term storage unless absolutely necessary.

Wessi’s blazers are crafted with premium materials that need room to retain their form. Respect the fabric, and it will respect your look.

3. Avoid Plastic Covers for Long-Term Storage

While plastic covers can offer temporary protection from dust or moisture during travel, they are not ideal for storing your suits long term. They trap humidity and can cause fabrics to yellow or develop mold.

Instead:

• Use a breathable garment bag—preferably cotton or canvas—for dust protection and airflow.

• Keep the bag partially open if the closet has good ventilation.

When you purchase from Wessi, you’ll often receive your suit with a reusable, breathable garment cover—perfect for long-term care.

4. Fold Carefully for Travel

If you must fold a blazer or pants for packing, use the “shoulder-in-half” method for the blazer, and fold the pants along their crease. A few key tips:

• Stuff the shoulders of the blazer with soft items (like socks) to maintain shape.

• Use tissue paper between folds to reduce wrinkling.

Wessi customers who travel frequently love our travel-friendly fabrics, which resist creasing better than conventional suit materials.

5. Keep It Clean Before Storing

Never store a blazer or pants that have been worn without cleaning them. Body oils, odors, or food stains can set into the fabric over time.

• Brush off any lint or dust using a suit brush.

• Dry clean sparingly—only when needed—to avoid weakening the fabric.

• For minor stains or odors, try steaming or using a fabric refresher spray.

Wessi suits are made to last, and regular, proper maintenance ensures they keep looking new wear after wear.

6. Mind the Climate

Climate matters—especially for premium suits. Avoid storing your blazers and pants in humid, hot, or extremely cold areas such as attics or basements.

• Keep your wardrobe in a cool, dry, dark place.

• Consider placing moisture absorbers or cedar wood blocks in your closet to ward off odors and moths.

At Wessi, our customers often ask how to extend the life of their formalwear. The answer lies in mindful, consistent care.
