The main cause of wear in clothes is dirt, dust and grit that accumulate in the fabric. Regular brushing does much to prolong the life of the garment.

Try not to wear the garment for more than a day or two at a time this gives the fabric a chance to keep and recover its shape.

When not in use empty the pockets of the garment and hang on a solid shaped and curved hanger.

When necessary use a reliable dry cleaner – inexpensive cleaning and pressing while you wait are seldom satisfactory.

Some garments may benefit if occasionally steamed. Hanging in a bathroom with the hot tap running, this will replace some of the natural moisture removed by excessive central heating.

There are additional items we are able to supply which will help you achieve the maximum return from your investment in a Goddards garment.
