This alone does not ensure you good armani clothes, but the opposite tailors most certainly prevents it. A well-dressed man's suit fabric must be made solely from natural fibers
The best and most widely available fabric is wool. Wool is good because it breathes easily, well, resists wrinkles, holds dyes, and can be made in a variety of weaves and weights. On top of all that, wool just looks great as a suit fabric, so naturally we will start with the different types of wool and move on from there.
THESE ARE THE MAIN TYPES OF WOOL: Wool is a common fabric used in men's suits. It can be processed either through worsted or woolen yarn. Worsted yarn is spun tightly to give a stronger and smoother feel. After woolen yarn is spun, the results are a looser, bulkier and fuzzier feeling garment.
1.Worsted It is widely known that worsted wools are as good as it gets when it comes to suit materials. These will be your gabardines or mid-weight corded wools. They are durable, wear well and usually fine for year-round wear. They can be a little lighter or heavier, depending on the weave, but consider them mid-weight.
2.Flannel A medium-weight fabric that can be plain or twill weaved. It can also be produced by worsted or woolen yarn. It is very suitable for the winter due to it being the heaviest of the non-tweed wools. Flannel is nice but because it holds heat, it is not exactly ideal for office environments.
3.Herringbone This fabric has a broken weave that gives it a zig-zag pattern like the skeleton of a herring.
4.Tropical This is usually a type of wool crepe, which is a lightweight fabric. It's more of a summer weight, most suitable for wearing in warmer climates. Being lighter, it wrinkles pretty easily, and therefore requiring frequent visits to the dry-cleaner. This obviously would not be an every day kind of suit fabric.
5.Tweed Tweed is a very heavy wool fabric, it is often a popular choice in colder climates. Tweed has a coarse feel to it, and is often seen worn as a sport coat.
Good quality wool comes in grading of Super 100’s, 110’s, 120’s, and 150’s. The finer the wool fiber means that more fiber has to be used for the fabric to create a tighter weave, and hence lesser crease and wrinkles on the wool. Naturally, this means that higher the grade the more expensive the wool will be.
Higher numbers represents better fineness of the wool fiber.
