At De Oost Bespoke Tailoring we are justifiably proud of the garments we make and would love you to feel the same way long after the first time that you put your new suit on. Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your suit enjoys a long and immaculate lifespan. Our pricelist.
First the basics
No Washing
It is not possible to wash the garments tailored by De Oost. Not with a washing machine and not by hand. Dry cleaning is therefore the best option.
No Bleaching
Your clothes can not be treated with bleach. The garment is not colorfast or structurally withstand use of such products.
Ironing
Ironing, steaming and drying, at a temperature of 110 degrees Celsius.
Dry cleaning
Each detergent can be used safely except Trichloroethylene.
