Don’t let your commute ruin your suit

In 2016, the Office for National Statistics revealed that 3.7 million workers travelled for two hours or more every weekday as part of their commute. This may involve walking, driving, cycling, taking public transport, or a combination of a few. On top of this, many men choose to wear a formal suit to the office to look smart — not ideal attire for a lengthy travel time! Read on as we look at some smart solutions to avoid damage to your tailoring.

A suit made for the commute

The suit that you wear to work shouldn’t be the same one that you wear to a wedding. Look out for the signs of a suit that are suitable for your commute:

  • Added elastane — this increases the flexibility of the suit and allows it to ‘bounce’ back to its shape after repeated wear and folding.
  • Elastic waistband — an elastic waistband gives you comfort during your commute, fitting to your skin.
  • Choose a lightweight wool that’s not going to cause you to overheat when you’re rushing to and from work.

How to protect your suit

Your journey to work can cause damage to your threads in a few ways, depending on how you travel.

From creasing

If you cycle or walk to the office, it’s likely that you’ll work up quite a sweat. Not only can this be damaging to the material of your shirt and jacket, it’s also likely to smell later in the day. Getting caught in the rain can also have negative effects on your suit as often it doesn’t have a chance to dry out fully throughout the day. Instead, consider commuting in workout clothes and freshening up when you get to work.

A great investment to make would be buying a suit that is crease-resistant — this way you can fold it up in a backpack and it will be good to wear when you arrive at the office. CT Shirts offer a range of ‘performance suits’ that are made with merino wool (a material with natural crease recovery). Their suits also have 2% added elastane which results in a crease-resistant cloth. This suit would also be suitable for public transport commuters. Sitting in the same position on a bus, tube, or in a car can cause your suit to become creased — not a great look for meetings throughout the day!

From the weather  

Harsh weather conditions can be harmful to your ensemble. During the winter seasons, road salt can be damaging to your shoes and the slush and snow can have long lasting effects if your shoes aren’t dried out properly.

There are some preventative measures that you can take. Purchase a shoe spray which can ‘prevent and seal’ the material and decrease weather damage. One way to do this is with beeswax — this creates a thin protective layer over the material of the footwear.

For suede shoes, invest in some hydrophobic suede protector. If you find a good spray, this can cover your shoes with a waterproof layer as the spray repels water.

From dirt

You might find that spending time on public transport can cause dirt from seats to cling to your clothing. You should brush your suit jacket down every day to prevent this dirt from becoming embedded in the suit and harder to remove in the future.

Avoid dry cleaning your suit too often. Instead, for stains that are hard to remove, send your suit for a spot clean.

6 Ways To Spend Your Summer This Year

Image

In the last week it seems as if we have shifted from winter to summer in one giant leap. The summer sun is finally out and it has driven people all over the world to explore their local area, strike up the barbecue and try new things. Summer is the best time of year to get out of your house, into the sun and have fun! Here are some of the top things you will want to do this summer.

1.Travel

The most popular option during the summer is to pack up your things, jet off and spend some time exploring another country. You can have an amazing time wherever you go at this time of year: whether it be enjoying a fiesta in Mexico; staying at Courtyard Port of Spain and exploring the Caribbean islands; enjoying great food in Greece or simply going on a road trip in your own country. Travel is great for the soul and it is a wonderful way to make memories this year.

2.Family Barbecue

There’s no better way to spend the first hot day of the year than to invite the whole family around and light up the grill. The barbecue is a classic summer activity and it gives you the excuse to play with fire and cook some incredible meats and side dishes. You can enjoy the summer sun as you kick back and spend time with the people you love the most.

3.Hike

If you want to stay active and have more of an adventure this summer, you can spend time exploring national parks and hike up the bigger mountains you can find. Hiking can be as strenuous or easy as you need it to be and it is a great way to enjoy the summer sun with your family. Take it one step up and bring a picnic with you to enjoy at the summit!

4.Go Swimming

Beach days are the best days during the summer. You can enjoy walking along the beach with the sand under your toes, get an ice cream to cool off and enjoy a pint at your favourite seaside pub or bar. You can also make the most of the warm weather by taking a dip in the sea to cool off from the sun. It’s not only a fun activity but also a great workout!

5.Stargaze

During the summer, you are much more likely to travel around to more rural areas of your country. During one of these day trips, why not camp under the stars and enjoy watching them pass you by in the sky. You can even teach your children about the different constellations and tell them about space and the other planets in our solar system. There is something truly magical about the stars on a summer night.

6.Outdoor Concert

If you and your friends love music, why not make the most of the weather and visit an outdoor concert in your area? Lots of national parks and centres will hold outdoor concerts throughout the summer for you to enjoy. Just bring along a blanket, some snacks and drinks for a magical night.
