- Final Thoughts on Fabrics
There are two main factors that decide on a suit’s quality and cost: construction and fabric. This is the suiting equivalent to parts and labor on a car. We went over garment construction in detail in our article on made-to-measure suits, but very quickly, suits are made with either fused, half, or full canvas interlinings onto which fabric is eith...
Wool
Wool is without a doubt the most common fabric used for men’s suit’s. In fact, the information about it gets so extensive that we gave wool its own separate page. With that said, here are the benefits of wool in a quick list: 1. It breathes easily 2. It resists wrinkling 3. It’s flame-resistant, which is convenient for well-dressed firefighters or those of us who work as stunt doubles 4. It’s naturally water-resistant 5. It feels good 6. It keeps you warm in winter and lets you ventilate in t...
Linen
Linen is a hugely popular summertime fabric. It also happens to be vegan as it comes from a flax plant, not an animal. In fact, linen is technicallya vegetable. One of the oldest fabrics in existence (the ancient Egyptians were known to wear linen), it’s still one of the most widely used, especially in continental Europe. It’s expensive but its cost can be justified from these benefits: 1. Breathability: Linen breathes veryeasily. This makes it a great summer fabric. 2. Casual élan: Linen wri...
Cotton
Though it’s the fabric of our lives, cotton suiting is a little tougher to find than wool suits. Generally less expensive than wool and linen, high-end cotton suits can be pulled off in office environments and also for more celebratory events such as weddings. Note: cotton trousers don’t drape like linen or wool, so make sure that they have a crease sharp enough to cut butter. Here are some of the selling points of cotton: 1. Cost: Cotton suiting tends to be cheaper than wools and linens of s...
First, a bit of terminology to get us all on the same page: 1. Warp: The lengthwise (up-and-down) yarns of a given fabric 2. Weft: The crosswise (left-to-right) yarns of a given fabric A fabric’s quality and character aren’t just a function of what that fabric is. The manner in which it’s woven plays a huge role. Generally, the best fabrics are “tw...
Best Fabrics For Summer
Choosing the right fabric is key when getting a summer suit. You want something lightweight and airy, but still with enough drape to look like the handsome suit it needs to be. Regardless of fabric, seek out suits with half or eight linings as these will allow you to ventilate a bit more easily. Some of the best fabrics for summer are: 1. Wool: In tropical weights like 7.5 ounces or lighter, wool is an excellent, if surprising, option for warm weather. It has all the positive attributes of wo...
Best Materials For Winter
Winter is the opposite of summer in many ways, and it’s no different with regard to suiting fabrics. Instead of maintaining airiness and a sense of being lightweight, you want to maintain warmth at all costs. Thick, hairy fabrics are what we have in mind. Top winter fabrics are: 1. Wool: When wool is made in heavier weights, the benefits are wide-ranging. Not only does it keep you warmer, but it’s also easier to tailor. Look for wools in 10 ounces or more to help keep the chill at bay. 2. Fla...
Best Suit Cloth For Autumn
Depending on where you live and what mood global climate change is in, you’re probably going to want to live in a bunch of medium-weight fabrics in the autumn. Lucky you: just about any suit sold off the rack is of medium weight cloth, so you have the pick of the litter. 1. Wool: There’s a reason we’ve suggested wool with each season so far: it works, and it works well. In a run-of-the-mill nine-ounce weight, a worsted wool suit will protect you from the forty degree mornings and keep you com...
The fabric world is vast and varied, and even the relatively small amount reviewed in this article can be dizzying. Know that, ultimately, the lion’s share of your suits will be worsted wool, and the biggest decisions you’ll face will be around color and pattern. For further guidance on these topics, check out our suits home page or take a look at ...
