I'd say don't put on a hanger - the wool will distort and stretch. I live in Singapore - so this is a constant problem. A friend of mine has a tailor's dummy that he got from a going out of business shop, and he swears by using it to dry his jackets. I typically lay the jacket flat on towel and cover it with another towel for a while and let it dry for a couple of days. After that i send it for a sponge and steam press. It generally works out ok, but in one of my suites, the canvas distorted, but the fabric was fine. I am planning on speaking with my tailor to see if at all possible to replace the canvas. This one is escorial so worth it to take it apart.I'd appreciate it if someone can suggest some ways to maintain suits after a rainy day. What should I do when I enter a dry area, for example, after a 10 minutes walk under the rain (without an umbrella)?
