Fabric is an important factor in determining the quality of a suit, and the price of a suit often varies greatly from fabric to fabric. Whether you are a suit designer or a buyer, it is also necessary to know about suit fabrics. Here we share with you the common suit fabrics.
Pure wool worsted fabric
Pure wool worsted fabric is a kind of high-grade suit fabric with 100% wool, which will look light and thin, and feel smooth and soft luster. The key is that this fabric is easy to recover after deformation, and basically there will be no crease. Pure wool worsted fabric is the best fabric in suit fabric, usually used in spring and summer suits. The disadvantage is that it is easy to pilling, not resistant to wear and tear, and easy to moth and mold.
Pure wool woolen fabric
The wool content of this fabric is also 100%, but the difference between woolen and worsted lies in the different textile forms. The woolen fabric will be thicker, and the worsted fabric will be more delicate and light. The pure wool slub fabric is soft to the touch, wide, and elastic. The fabric also belongs to the fine suit fabric, usually used for autumn and winter suits. But like pure wool worsted, it tends to pill and is not resistant to abrasion.
Wool and polyester blended fabric
This kind of fabric has glitter on the surface in the sunlight and lacks the softness of pure wool fabric. The higher the polyester content, the more prominent the version of hard feeling is. But its advantage is that it is more elastic than pure wool fabric. There is almost no crease after holding the fabric tightly for a few seconds and releasing it. It also belongs to the more common mid-range suit fabric.
wool and viscose or cotton blended fabrics
Wool and viscose or cotton blended fabric luster are relatively dull. The advantage of this type of fabric is that the fabric is relatively inexpensive.
Polyester and viscose blended fabric

In addition to the five fabrics mentioned above, cotton, linen, silk, etc. can also be used as suit fabrics. Of course, the most popular one is still wool.
