What to do about shine on pants

[orthofrancis]

ONe of my older suits - a Canali, is starting to get a little shine on the pants - top of the thighs. Is there a way to "de-shine" them?. Took them to the cleaners - no luck.

Time to retire, or is there something else to do.

retire. going fwd, don't ever iron directly on the material. i use an old handkerchief as a buffer...

Taking to the cleaners was probably the worst thing you could have done. They over press everything and create shine.

I would try getting a slightly moist sponge and wiping the area and lightly brushing with a horsehair brush to attempt to lift some of the nap up again.

You have a good argument to get 2 pairs of pants for your suits.

Use a sock next time.
