What is wool suit fabric?
Pure wool suit must contain at least 95% of natural wool. This material is very warm and doesn’t get wrinkled. The remaining 5% is synthetic threads which provide glossy effect. If the content of synthetics is higher, this is a wool mixture fabric. Artificial threads increase the strength and wear resistance of the material, so coats and other outerwear are usually made of wool mixture.
The appearance and characteristics of products depend on the length of wool threads. Long pile is the basis of worsted wool. It is smooth and shiny; therefore it is used for the production of business suits. Unlike worsted, combed wool is a bit fluffy, so it is used for everyday clothing.
