Long Term Clothing/Shoe Storage

[johnH123]

How would one properly store clothing (suits, formal wear, shirts etc) and shoes (I've got some leather shoes and boots) for a period of 8-9 months. They'll be in a storage locker.

My best guess is the generously oil up the footwear and hope they don't dry out. Not sure what to do about the clothing.

I have had my clothing and shoes in storage for the last 3+ years. Suits in cotton garmet bags. As well as shirts. Shoes were left in shoe bags and they are still fine with trees in them and they have not dried out. 9 months you should be fine. Ties were put in talbott boxes.

Everything is still as it was before I left.
