Do you take your suits to be dry cleaned after each use?

I do, but it is expensive AF and I am a poor. Anybody try to wear a business suit multiple times before dry cleaning? If so, what are the pros and cons of this technique?

That's crazy. I work in a business professional setting. Dress pants get worn for a full week and dress shirts two to three times before heading to the cleaners. Jackets once a year.

not a chance.

I take my jackets every 10 or so times I wear them since I hang it up when I'm in my office. Only wear it for big meetings and walking in to work.

Pants I probably take every 3-5 times depending on how they look. put them in a pants press to keep them crisp.

I read "suits" as "sluts"

This thread is less fun now.

whats this?

I hang my pants up after each day and probably wear them 2-3 times before taking to the cleaners unless ig et something on them.

usually when i wear a suit i'm drinking and wind up just throwing it on the floor after, so I wind up having to take it to the cleaners

they don't need cleaning that often, get you a steamer from Walmarks to "freshen" them up, that's cheap

I mean do they stink after a day's use? Or are you a messy eater?

HOLY shite NO.


Newbie, each time you take a suit to the dry cleaner, it slowly destroys the fabric.

Buy suit wipes and only take your suits in WHEN NECESSARY

I sweat fairly profusely so I probably couldn't get away with re-wearing a shirt. I can probably get away with re-wearing a suit though. This is good info.

The more you take your suit in, the shorter its life span becomes.

Turn them over in the dryer for a bit with a small damp towel, then I use the hanging steamer we have.
