Hi
I have a Huntsman suit I am thinking of selling and it needs freshening up - as I believe it has been in storage for some time -

Can any of you suggest the best way of doing this?

Should I have it Dry Cleaned? or is there an alternative?

Or should I sell it as is and leave it to the buyer to deal with?

Its a classic looking suit - single breasted 3 button, double vented, functioning cuffs, pin stripe.

All advice appreciated -

you say it needs freshening up then have it cleaned and pressed.
it may photograph better.

Beware of pressing, many dry cleaners massacre suits when they are told to press them!
