Types of Wool suits

Wool is a general fabric used in men's suits. It can be processed either during worsted or woolen yarn. Worsted yarn is spun firmly to give a stronger and smoother feel. After woolen yarn is spun, the results are a looser, bulkier and fuzzier emotion garment.

* Worsted: It is widely known that worsted wools are as high-quality as it gets when it comes to suit materials. These will be your gabardines or medium-weight corded wools. They are hard, wear well and typically fine for year-round wear. They can be a tiny lighter or heavier, depending on the weave, but think them mid-weight.

* Tweed: Tweed is a very serious wool fabric; it is normally a popular choice in colder climates. Tweed has an uncouth feel to it, and is often seen worn as a sport coat.

* Tropical: This is typically a type of wool crepe, which is a frivolous fabric. It's more of a summer weight, most appropriate for tiring in warmer climates. Being lighter, it wrinkles pretty easily and so requiring frequent visits to the dry-cleaner. This obviously would not be an every day type of suit fabric.

* Herringbone: This fabric has a broken interlace that gives it a zig-zag pattern like the skeleton of a herring.

* Flannel: A medium-weight fabric that can be easy or twill weaved. It can also be formed by beaten or woolen yarn. It is very appropriate for the winter due to it organism the heaviest of the non-tweed wools. Flannel is pleasant but because it holds heat, it is not precisely ideal for office environments.
