    Notes

    A Lancerto navy two-piece suit, made in Poland — a single-breasted jacket with notch lapels and a two-button front, with matching dress trousers. The outer shell is a 90% wool / 10% polyester blend over a viscose lining. A structured, lined wool jacket, so it is wool-tailoring-cared — brush, steam, air and spot-clean, with deeper cleaning left to a dry-cleaner; never machine-washed. Continental size 52 (from the 176/104 label).

    Care regimens

    Wool — coats & tailoring

    every ~30 days

    Caring for wool and cashmere coats and jackets without washing: brush, steam, air and spot-clean. Washing and a hot iron ruin the structure — leave deeper cleaning to a dry-cleaner.

    After each wear: after wear brush it off and air it, hang it on a wide shaped hanger and rest it a day; out of season store it clean, with moth protection (cedar).

    Everyday

    After each wear and periodically.

    1. Brush top-to-bottom with a soft clothes brush — it lifts dust and resets the nap.
    2. Lift hair and fluff with a lint roller, and shave off light pilling gently with a fabric shaver.
    3. Relax creases with steam from a distance — never a dry hot iron.

    Products and tools

    What not to do

    • Don't machine- or hand-wash — a lined wool coat loses its shape. Dry-clean only.

    When dirty

    When stained or once a season.

    1. Spot-clean stains with a barely-damp cloth, outside-in; don't rub.
    2. For heavier soiling and a once-a-season refresh, take it to a dry-cleaner (the circled-P symbol).
    3. Before storing it for the season — clean, aired, with moth protection.

    What not to do

    • Never dry on a radiator or in a tumble dryer; high heat felts and warps wool.

    Restore

    only when needed

    Only when the coat has pilled or lost its shape.

    1. Lift pilling with a fabric shaver — evenly and lightly.
    2. Restore the shape with steam and a shaped hanger; leave a deeper press to the dry-cleaner.
