How To Store A Tuxedo

By Victor Santerino

Tuxedos are fantastic party suits that are worn by countless numbers of people each and every year. The interesting thing about this statement though is that most of these people only wear them once a year.

I wrote this article to help men and women in their endeavor to safely store their tuxedos. After reading this article you will know all the little nuances that can keep you from safely storing your tuxedo and how to avoid them.

The first area to look at after wearing a tuxedo is the material and color. Make sure there aren't any stains on the garment before locking it up for a year. It will be much easier to get a stain out before it has had time to set.

Next a person should make sure there aren't any tears, pulls, or missing buttons before putting putting the tuxedo away. Checking for these damages before putting the tuxedo away will give you the peace of mind you need the next time someone springs a surprise black tie affair on you.

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.

Moths can be deadly to all of your clothes and your tuxedo is no exception. Place cedar materials in or around your tuxedo to deter these insects.

The final system you should set up is a periodic check on the fit of your tuxedo. Ensuring that your tuxedo still fits your body is a great way to avoid last minute alterations.

The last thing I ask you to do is to go to the top of your browser and click on bookmarks to bookmark this page. Having this page on hand will save you the hassle of looking for it each time you wear your tuxedo.
