Stain-resistant fabrics in men's suits: What are they and how do they work?

Spills happen, but stains don't have to. When you invest time and money into finding the perfect suit, it's important you keep it looking its best. Whether it's a splash of champagne during the wedding speeches or a spatter of coffee from the commute, a spill doesn't have to mean an expensive trip to the dry cleaners with our stain-resistant suits.

At Suit Direct, our stain-resistant suits are treated with advanced fabric technology to create a protective barrier on the material's surface. This allows liquids to roll off instead of soaking in.

Our experts are here to bring you the ultimate guide to stain-resistant fabric, so you can wear your suit on repeat - no matter what the world throws at you.

How does it work?

Stain-resistant fabric provides powerful repellency against accidental spills and rain. Each garment is treated with a liquid-repellent technology that coats the fibres but still maintains the same flexibility and softness you'd expect from your suit. The special coating repels water and oil-based substances by lowering the fabric's absorbency, so instead of instantly soaking into the fibres, liquids stay on the surface for easy blotting and easier removal when washed.

Why choose a stain-resistant suit?

When you wear a suit, you want to look and feel your best. The last thing you want is an unexpected stain that ruins your look at an important business meeting or special occasion.

Stain-resistant fabric offers an extra level of protection against everyday accidents, and gives you peace of mind at your next formal event. You can also extend the life of your suit by reducing the number of times you wash it - it's a win-win!

There's no compromise on tailoring and style with our sophisticated range of stain-resistant suits.

How to care for stain-resistant fabrics

Even though stain-resistant suits are designed to repel spills, it's still important to look after them properly. Always refer to the care label and avoid using harsh detergents, as these can break down the protective coating.
