Suit jacket wrinkles issue

    I recently bought a suit which was supposed to be from the 'traveler suit' range, meaning it was resistant to creasing. It has turned out to be the opposite. My first dry cleaning has exposed it to wrinkling. What caused this and how do i reverse the wrinkling? The dry cleaners is one i have used very often and is reputable.

    Where has the wrinkling occurred?

    If the suit is not too badly wrinkled than put it on a wooden hanger, or broad plastic one (anything but wire) and hang it in the bathroom while you shower. The steam will relax the fibres and the suit should fall back into shape over time. When hanging it up be sure to leave it plenty of room, don't squish it onto the rail. Your suit should rest up fora few days, preferably a week or so between wearings to allow the suit to regain it's shape.
    If the wrinkling is bad then get a steamer. Put a kettle on to boil under the hanging suit. Best of all is to buy a proper clothes steamer.
    If the wrinkles still persist then you'll have to press the clothes. If you've never ironed clothes before then ask someone else to doit for you. Don't risk scortching the cloth yourself. Learn to use an iron and always use a damp cotton cloth between the iron and the material.
    What material is the suit by the way, wool, linen, polyester?
