How often do you get your suit dry cleaned? I purchased a (wool) suit a couple years ago and have yet to get it dry cleaned. Too long?

Once every couple of months I would have thought. On a related note, I have lost so many good suits over the years to ripped trousers / banker ass syndrome. Has this impacted anyone else?

Depends on how many wears, but yes too long. Aim to dry clean your suits once a season.

Yes. Even if you rarely wear it, a clean suit will attract fewer insects in storage.

@GS3 Order two pairs of pants for each suit. You'll get more use out of each jacket.

Dry clean your suits about 3 times a year. Dry cleaning many times will ruin your suits. If you're buying many suits, buy lots of cheaper ones (lower end fabrics like S110 or S120). These cheaper suits have thicker, more durable fabric that will stand up to more wear. Keep nicer suits (ex/S150 suits) for special occasions, the wool is very fine and will not stand abuse as well as cheaper suits.
