The Materials That Go Into A Suit, An Explainer

Suit Manufacturing Materials

Buying a well-tailored suit can be a substantial expenditure, so it is crucial that it is done well. It begins with picking out applicable material. A seasoned bespoke tailor knows the best material options, so it is a sound decision to become familiar with materials before buying a custom suit.

Here are several choices of the most opulent fabrics especially designed for suits that each bespoke suit tailor will be well familiar with, as well as their benefits:

Cashmere – As an overall fabric, cashmere is thought to be one of the most sumptuous for suit material. When you ask a tailor about a cashmere suit, they will undoubtedly say that its soft texture is its strong point. Cashmere has its history rooted in both the Roman and Byzantine eras, and it has remained as popular a choice throughout history and today. The source of this delicate, soft material is from the natural shedding of under hair of goats, a super-fine fibre.

Wool – As a natural fibre, it gives extra comfort and wears well throughout a long period of time in both extreme heat and cold. It is one of the finest materials for any tailor to use since it does not lose its shape and is easily dyed. Our tailors at Pascalis Bespoke Tailoring choose Pure Merino wool for their suits since it is of the highest quality and grade of commercial wool that can be found. Pure Merino wool has an unparalleled fineness, a textured silkiness and softness.



Worsted Fabrics – This is a denser fabric acknowledged as a very durable material. It is a smooth, woven wool that is spun from elongated fibres that are at least 65mm in staple length of the fleece that it is derived from. The most important component of the worsted yarn is the parallel fibre content which creates a natural straightness. Historically, this type of elongated, delicate staple wool was created to produce worsted yarn. Some other kinds of long fibres are used today as well.

Silk – This is one of the richest fabrics both in texture and price since it exudes both great comfort as well as luxuriousness to anyone who chooses it for a suit material. The fabric is one of the best for both cold and heat, as it can easily regulate body temperature, so it is considered a breathable fabric.

Cotton Gabardine – A bespoke suit tailor of fine suits used this fabric to line suit pockets, specifically for business suits. Gabardine-manufactured clothing is most often dry clean only material, not unlike most wool fabrics. A cotton gabardine is also identified by the twill-weave of the gabardine fabric itself and sometimes created for raincoats.
