5 Must Have Clothing Maintenance Tools | How To Maintain Your Wardrobe

About this video

Sacawa demonstrates five essential wardrobe maintenance tools for preserving quality suits, shoes, and knitwear. He explains the purpose and proper use of each tool—fabric brushes, shoe trees, sweater shavers, garment steamers, and wooden hangers—and recommends specific types and materials for long-term garment care and longevity.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa recommends fabric brushes over lint rollers for suits and sport coats because lint roller adhesive can leave residue that attracts more dust over time; he suggests brushing garments each morning and evening before storage
• Sacawa argues that cedar shoe trees are essential for maintaining shoe shape and preventing creasing; he specifically recommends unfinished wooden trees over plastic or glossy-finished wood because they absorb moisture and fight odors
• Sacawa recommends using a garment steamer rather than an iron for jackets as it’s the safest way to remove wrinkles and freshen garments between dry cleaning visits, which minimizes fabric damage from frequent laundering
• Sacawa advises using wide-armed, contoured wooden hangers for suit jackets and sport coats to maintain shoulder shape and prevent stretching and collar misalignment
