Heads up, I learned the hard way that not pre-washing fabric for a tailored suit project leads to irreversible fit issues after cleaning.

Yeah, hearing about your friend's suit shrinking is the worst. That's such a frustrating way to learn that lesson. Solidarity on the expensive mishap.

Actually for a proper suit, you generally shouldn't pre-wash the fabric like regular cotton. It's usually dry-clean only wool. The key is having a good tailor who knows to pre-shrink the fabric with steam before cutting.
