Yes, according to some methods, you can wash suit jackets, including machine washing.
Machine Washing a Suit Jacket
While dry cleaning is often the standard recommendation for suit jackets, the provided reference indicates that washing a suit jacket by machine is relatively simple.
Here's how the process is described:
- Preparation: Turn your jacket inside out.
- Protection: Place it into a mesh laundry bag. This helps protect the fabric and the jacket's structure during the wash cycle.
- Machine Settings: Make sure you use a cold wash and the gentlest option available. This could be a delicate or hand-wash cycle setting on your machine.
- Washing: Let the machine take care of the rest during the selected gentle cycle.
- Drying: Once done, do not use a machine dryer. Instead, lay your suit out flat and let it air dry completely.
Following these steps can help you wash a suit jacket at home using a washing machine based on this method. Always check the jacket's care label for specific instructions first, as materials and construction can vary.
