If your'e going to buy a tux, you'll probably clean it before you put it away for the season. If you do clean it, a word of caution: Most dry cleaners haven't got a clue how to press a tuxedo jacket after cleaning. Almost every tuxedo brought in, picked up or sent in by a NEW client is "damaged" to some degree or another. I see tuxedo jackets with shine, seam impressions, hard pressing and, most of all, satin or polyester lapels that have been melted or burnt by an iron. Never allow a dry cleaner to machine press your tuxedo. And when they do hand press the jacket, make sure that they adjust the iron temperature when transitioning from the wool to the satin or polyester.
