First, as long as you're already going through your closet, now would be a good time to get rid of garments that you really aren't wearing anymore.
Additionally, this may be a good time to clean the closet itself as well. Vacuum the floor, wipe down the shelves, and so on. Speaking of cleaning before they're stored, all of your winter wardrobe items should be thoroughly cleaned.
To begin our specific cleaning instructions then, footwear should first be wiped down with a damp cloth then a clean dry cloth and then finally, given a good pass with a shoe brush. Polishing with saddle soap or leather conditioner could also be a good idea at this time and for suede, you'll want to use cleaning tools that are specifically designed for that material. Make sure to wipe down the interiors of your footwear if you're able as well. Also, giving footwear a day to sit and deodorize with something like a sachet full of baking soda for at least a day before storing can also be beneficial.
Hats should also be wiped down and brushed but with a softer garment brush, a shoe brush would be too abrasive for that kind of material.
You can prevent insect damage to your clothes by using a natural repellent like lavender. Although something like mothballs may seem like the easy solution, they're actually bad for storage with your garments over time.
So after you've washed them, what's the best way to store your garments then?
You can start by placing heavier items like denim, other trousers, and coats at the bottom of a breathable cotton storage container. You can find both soft-bodied models and ones with reinforcement at the sides, whichever you would prefer.
Medium weight items like sweaters come next in the storage container and then lightweight items like shirts can be placed on top. Delicate items like sweaters, ties, or scarves made from materials like cashmere, can also be wrapped in acid-free tissue paper for an extra layer of protection.
Also, you can place your cashmere items in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for a day or two before storing them just to make sure that the extreme cold kills any moths or larvae that might be present.
It's important that items not to be worn for a long period of time be neatly folded instead of left on the hanger, this is especially true for sweaters. Left to hang, garments made from wool, cashmere, acrylic, or polyester will become misshapen over time.
Lighter weight trousers, as well as sweaters and shirts, can also be rolled instead of folded. This way, you can stack them horizontally instead of vertically which may mean more maximization of space in your storage containers.
You can store footwear on the floor or a shelf of your closet in the open air but to be even more safe, putting it back into its original box or another cotton storage container would be a better idea. Additionally, things like hanging boot racks are also available.
Don't try to be overly efficient with your storage containers and overfill them either. Remember that space and breathability are key to making sure that your garments have proper air circulation so that you don't get moisture buildup or excess wrinkling.
Here's one final tip for today, do remember to keep a couple of transitional pieces out of storage unless you've happened to wait until the middle of summer to put away all of your winter clothing. Having a few medium-weight pieces out of storage that you can wear for colder spring days is a good idea especially if you live in a part of the globe where spring can mean warmer days and cooler nights.
With these tips at your disposal then, you should head into spring with a closet that's neat and tidy and garments that are safely and tightly packed away until things get chilly again.

Good information and no wasting time telling bad jokes.
I dig the beautiful colors used for your outfit.
Your incredible info and fun presentation on this video has inspired me to subscribe. I’m excited to see more from you- Well done!
Dorky Charm...that is a compliment...great work...
A lot of my shoe trees are cedar! Thanks so much for letting me know they dry out leather if used for a long time!
MN? No way!! Same here. Well that’s an instant subscribe.
I didn’t think I needed to see this video. But I really did! Thank you 🙏
An excellent presentation. Great sweater color choice, and I like seeing the nod to Fred Astaire with your tie belt Preston.
I did not know about the cedar issues! Very informative!
Taking care of your wardrobe is the best series! I'm learning so much. Preston is absolutely crushing it. I still can't get behind the tie belt. Very Jethro Clampett lol, but I'm sure it's comfortable.
Helpful vid...I'm going to apply this great advice to my women's winter wear...thanks, Preston!
Thanks for sharing such great information. It was really helpful to me. I always search to watch the quality content and finally I found this in your UA-cam video. keep it up!
Preston wrestling with his storage bag made me laugh.
Thanks for the tip about plastic containers!
8:31 That was the first time I laught loud during these video's
Moth ball was most informative!
I love the tips you gave. I’m not into dressing formal I guess I could say, all the time. But I can use some ideas. I’m sure there is, but I’m looking for a video on how to store leather coats. None of the hangers I buy are long enough to support the end of the shoulders.
Preston, if that is your closet, i must say i envy you. That looks like the kind of closet I would like to have. Great video! The information against plastic containers educated me. Is there a certain type, name brand, or quality of the breathable storage containers that we should look for when purchasing them?
Raphael, i must say you picked a wonderful, caring and intellectual gentleman when you hired Preston. Yes, i am the same one who did not like the idea of him being there, however I took your advice and took a look at myself and thought if i want to be a gentleman, i must be acting and thinking like one. Thank you very much.
An Excellent video, thank you
The cotton storage tip was really good, I didn't know that those things even exist
I love the colour of your sweater !
You guys are ALWAYS right on time! I was just about to address the situation! Oh yeah, where's a good place to find the reinforced containers?
Never mind I saw the answer on the blog!
Wow, due to Covid, I needed to store almost all of my office clothes away !
Thumbnails are always so weird with Preston 😂
this was so satisfying
Great video :D
Usually I give my winter boots a nice coat of mink oil which has done well but would love your opinion on that. I do hate packing away winter stuff but I live in South Carolina
Some thrift stores will sell worn out fabric as scrap cloth. Check before you just throw them away.
Excellent tips as always! Thank you👌
I love his wearing style , but it is so hard to find gentleman boutique in HK .
Where do I store my overcoats if I may ask, because I have my overcoats in a vinyl Garment Bag and I’m not sure if that’s useful.
Vinyl garment bags aren't often breathable; as we illustrate in the video, folding your overcoats and placing them in the bottom of a breathable cotton container would be an ideal method of storage. Thanks for your question!
- Preston
Thank you for the respond, I will find the proper storage that was spoken of.
I’m a uhh gentlewoman but this was still extremely informative!! I have similar clothing as well. I never knew cedar was that drying. 😨
What about vacuum bags for sweaters? Is that useful?
Vacuum-sealable bags are nice for maximizing space, but it's generally better for your garments to be stored in a container that's breathable. Further, you'll have less wrinkling if you don't vacuum-seal. Thanks for watching!
- Preston
I'm getting a bespoke suit made. Should I try to control the temperature and humidity of my closet, would that help maintain the wool???
Thank you for yet another informative video. I have couple of cedar shoe woods. Didn't know that their drying effect could be that strong.
Thank you. Its very informative and educative.
Please, how can i wash my suit materials in order to preserve the colour, texture and the quality of the clothing material
Why I'm getting Sheldon vibes. Loved the video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you. Its very informative
Can I store clothes in suitcases? If so what type?
Preston- where would one locate those wide ended hangers at an economical price? I have two jackets I’d like to use with that style of hanger.
You remind me of pathfinder in apex legends . Go figure ;)
cotton pillow cases with zippers double as good clothes storage containers. no need to buy single-purpose products
8:40 that takedown tho
Hello, great video! I saw your "is it worth it?" series and I was wondering if you could review a Schott Perfecto leather jacket? I know it's not exactly your area of expertise but it would be great. Cheers!
8:33 Me packing for a scout hike
I jealous of that chifferobe; was it built in place by a contractor or can I buy one somewhere?
Smithers...bring me my winter garments. I wish to go through them.
How do you recommend storing leather gloves? Thanks
Are LV trunks good for storing clothes?
I think that my white plastic storage box, out for two months, did indeed turn a unique vintage piece " yellow"
Can't go out tonight Phil, I'm excavating my garments.
His 'sh' is retroflex (ʂ)
Oooh hanging shoe racks are so tacky 😆
Alright
.now I'd like to know how you make your hair every morning
Is it just me or he looks like Dibny from the flash?
If only used wire hanger, and never noticed my clothes being out of shape.
That closet looks too small for all those shirts.
what AI is this aroll
This video is about a month too late for me
Sir you look like you were sculpted by an expert.
That’s cool but if you don’t have a lady in a house, you will not get done this by yourself
Real fur 👎🏼🤮
You just really need some voice lessons
Don't hang wool sweaters. Great tip.
The scene on how not to overpack your garments was awesome! Way to commit! 😂
Thats what i was planning to do since i have a generous amount to store😅😅
We need more dandies like you two!
The world would be a better place if more people appreciated fine art, style, architecture and most importantly fine music!
Well researched and well presented video I will try a few things out this spring storing my winter clothes 👍
my uncle is Andrew kelly, so your name freaked me out.
I absolutely admire a responsible gentleman or lady whom takes pride in his or hers appearance and items.
Mary Nelson Hypercorrection, in this case “who” is the correct word.
Thank you for this amazing advice I cant wait to test it out.
Ps love the video
Preston is so charismatic !
I love your videos 🙏
Excellent video! It’s apparent that you did your research and the information was presented in an organized/concise manner. I was not aware of the risks of long term use of cedar for shoes. Thanks for sharing this info. Good job!
This is very helpful. I imagine the viewers are planning to put away all of cold weather clothing and now we havea lot of good tips.
Thanks.
We try to be "seasonally appropriate" whenever possible. Thanks for watching!
- Preston
As always, great video gentlemen!
Greetings from Spain.
My dry cleaner stores my Harris tweed
Howmuch for howlong?
@@icedcoldkilla I think they charge me $30 for however long I want. Great place, also doesn't use perc, only oil-based solvent (doesn't harm the wool fibers).
This is great! I live in a region with very consistent temperatures year-round, but the information is really useful for storing my vintage clothes.
Apparently some moths have more common sense than the human race :)
8:42 Preston looks like he was wrestling that bag. however it was a great video.
I wasn’t ready for the “No Wire Hangers” joke. It made me smile, thank you.
How to store leather jackets
Great video Preston.
Why does this man look like bubbles from trailer park boys
YES
Awesome video AF man
Thanks Preston you treat us like Royalty tho most of us are not 😁👍🏼
Any suggestions as to storing fall, winter suits. Are suit bags a good recommendation. Should they be drycleaned before storage?
I thought plastic bin was the best storage in a budget. I learned lots of new ideas here.
NO WIRE HANGERS! 😬
Please source the hard sided container you showed. Thank you. Very informative. I subscribed
Allah bless you, and grant you all brothers organized successfull life
You know what's far worse for your cloths than moth balls? Moths. And moths don't "know to stay away from moth balls". They are not a repellent they are a poison which kills moths and their larva.
I was about to buy a cedar chest for storage of my nice sweaters and thought I should check here before doing so. I love the smell of cedar but did not know it could over dry out sweaters. Will be looking into the cotton containers
Don't forget to clean out the pockets of your clothes so that a curious wife, nor a customer at Goodwill comes across a receipt or Polaroid from a visit to the rub and tug.
Great video, TY for sharing.
Just perfect 👌🏼 ! Thanks for the video
I'm new to suits and nicer things but I do think you should never wear a tie as a belt...seems very strange 🤔
I sale this bage. Can you purchase this bage in wholesale price.
What clothes should you definitely not use vacuum bags for?
This dude give heavy Christian bale vibes
Hi. How about suits and cocktail dress?
Ok, so if I fold the shirts, is it ok if i slip some Bounce fabrice softener?
