22 Oct The best fabric for suits

A well-fitting and comfortable suit is vital for the quality of your suit, and there are a few fabrics to choose from when you decide to tailor make a suit.  The team of Exclusive Alterations has made this guide for you to choose the best fabric for your suit.

1. Wool

Wool is one of the best options when choosing a fabric for your suit. It is ideal for both warm summer nights and chilly winter evenings; it is suitable for all four seasons.  Another feature that puts this fabric at the top of our list, is the fact that it remains wrinkle free, therefore you don’t need to worry about looking anything less than your best.

In summary, the best features of a wool suit include:

• Soft
• Breathable
• Warm
• Wrinkle-free

• Linen

Linen is perfect for the sweltering summer heat.  Unlike wool, line is a fabric that wrinkles easily.  It is, however, the best suit to wear for dates in the summer, summertime weddings and parties on rooftops.  Summer is usually seen as the most laidback season of them all, and that is why this isn’t an issue.

In summary, the best features of a linen suit include:

• Breathable
• Nicely fitting
• Casual

• Cotton

Cotton is the ruler of the garment world, and this list would not be complete without it.  Purchasing a cotton suit is the best option for you if you are looking for something that is casual, but does not make quite as big a statement as linen does. Cotton is comfortable, breathable and is synonymous with style.

There are also options for a heavier weight cotton fabric if you are looking for something in the winter.

In summary, the best features of a linen suit include:

• Breathable
• Comfortable
• Classic

• Velvet

Velvet is the perfect fabric to choose when you are looking to make a bold statement.  Velvet is a sleek fabric to choose, and it certainly makes a statement.  To enhance the glitz and glamour factor, there really is no better choice.

In summary, the best features of a velvet suit include:

• Breathable
• Warm
• Stylish
