Suit Maintenance - order

[vitaminc]

How do you keep a closet full of suits, pants and shirts feel and smell fresh?

Some of my second hand suits came with developed vintage clothing smells; not necessarily bad but just doesn't smell fresh and clean. And some of my suits caught my body perspiration and don't smell as fresh even after I air them for a day or two.

besides dry cleaning, how to give suits a pleasant aroma besides using colognes

I'd dry clean anything second hand...

Yes-dry cleaners-definately.

But don't dry clean them too often though.....

I have a rack in front of a window which I hang the jacket & pant separately for 48 hours.

Is the window open for air? How do you deal with the dusts if so?
