| Q-6 How to
hang men's clothes? |
Ans. All men should give proper importance on
handing clothes for their durability. Different outfits have their
special requirements. For example: For hanging blazers, coats, leather
jackets etc., you should use heavy wooden or plastic clothes folding
hangers, that can give your outfit that extra support to carry off their
weight. Woolen knits should be stored in drawers. Never pile up
T-shirts, as they are likely to fall down thereby disturbing the crease
and spoiling the fold. Same is the case with shirts. Casual shirts
should be hung properly on padded plastic hangers. The hangers take care
of the shape of your attire, maintaining its fold. For your trouser or
pants, the ideal type of hanger is the clamp style that also carries a
waistband clip. Pants or trousers demand a proper folding style. This is
done by placing both the legs parallel one on the top of the other. Keep
these tips in mind for proper maintenance of men's clothing.
| Q-7 How
to take care of coats? |
Ans. Don't ever wash your coat in soap. Always keep
your coat clean by brushing with a soft bristle brush from top to bottom
and hang up to dry (air dry). The coats should be dry cleaned once in a
while. Avoid leaving your coat in your car or trunk on a hot day,
especially if it is wet. It will shrink and go out of shape.
