Unlike a lot of clothes you put in the washer, suits have structure built into them. It’s what gives them shape, form, and fit. Additionally, suits are commonly made with more delicate fabrics like wool, silk, and linen. Placing a suit in a washer that agitates clothes would ultimately destroy it because it would ruin its structure and degrade the fabric.
