Types of Suiting Fabrics

Wool
Properties: A number-one choice for suits. Natural, breathable, absorbing, it makes all kinds of jackets and trousers – from lightweight to heavy.
Best For: Formal and casual worsted wool suits and vests, with the weight depending on the season. Durable and water-resistant, worsted wool is ideal for jackets and trousers in temperate climates.

Cashmere Blend
Properties: Soft, silky and lightweight, cashmere yarn is probably the best thing you can have next to your skin.
Best For: Cashmere might not be the right option for trousers given its softness and pliable nature, but it makes wonderful jackets.

Silk Blend
Properties: Silk suiting fabrics are smooth, fine and lightweight. They require much attention in terms of care. Silk also provides the fabric with a stunning luster.
Best For: Luxury suits for special events and hot climates. Silk can be used to line a suit.  

Linen Blend
Properties: Linen gives breathability and ultra-comfort in wear. This fiber wrinkles much but is ok with pressing.
Best For: Casual suits for summer, perfect for a relaxed event. Linen fabrics tend to be softer and suppler compared to cotton cloths.
