The tuxedo is the ultimate party suit and is worn by billions of people a year. However, this garment is not worn very often by most people and is therefore in storage most of the time.
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.
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.
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.
Use a storage area that is tidy and away from any type of light that may discolor the fabric of your tux. This simple step could save you from having to buy a new tuxedo three years from now.
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.
Finally, be sure to check on your tuxedo every once in a while. Try the tuxedo on to make sure that it still fits properly and make adjustments when necessary.
