Anderson & Sheppard always said steam removes creasing. I was once told to hang my suit in the bathroom whilst in the shower.

Maybe it's because they don't shape the cloth, which is why their suits look like togas...

<comes back leisurely>
seriously, though. I'm not sure about the bathroom business.
But if you are a tailor and know how your suits are constructed (as I assume Karl does), you probably know where it's ok to steam and where not.

I was told that steaming with the shower running is fine, but to be &quot;very careful&quot; when using a steamer (which I don't).

I have always found that properly hanging and rotating suits is enough for creases to relax.

I asked my nearby tailor to show me how to press a suit with an iron. Given the fey *****footing with using steamers, seeing someone put iron to wool directly is kind of shocking and enlightening. Jeffreyd also has a post about how to press your own suit:

Tight.

The journey was more for Solito, FWIW.

I like your Mina a fair bit but get the sense that you're generally lukewarm on the suit. Is it just the tightness or is something else off as well?

I think the collar is low, which can be fixed (she should have an ocean of this cloth). It does not stick to the neck as well as I think it should. It just "feels" off or different, it's hard to put into words. It feels like it wants to be open at the chest and like it is slipping off, backward. I constantly want to tug it up and forward. Solito/A&S/Raphael by constrast rest on my frame exactly as I think they should.

I am tempted to say that it feels "straight" whereas it ought to be "crooked."
