How do you store a wool suit?

[Muse]

I lost one wool suit to moths, so I'm keeping my other in a suitcase with mothballs. When I take it out, it smells from moth balls. Are wool suits totally impractical? I suppose they have suit bags that you hang on a hanger that have zippers, right? If so, where can I get one?

Moths, presumably, couldn't get in such a bag, or you could have some moth balls in there for insurance. Will the suit lose that smell if you take it out and hang it in the open air for a day or two? Or do I have to have it cleaned to get rid of that smell? Thanks for any tips!

 

Take it to a dry cleaner for summer storage.

Any Mens clothing store that sells suits should have them.

In a cedar lined closet. Never had a problem.

Thanks! I'll pick up one of those bags. Unfortunately, I don't have a closet that I can close right now. Maybe I could put a cedar shingle or something at the bottom of the suit bag. That would smell tons better than moth balls!
