When it comes to creating the perfect bespoke suit, the fabric you choose is one of the most important decisions you'll make.
At Cameron Stephens, we offer a wide range of fabric options, from classic wools and tweeds to lightweight linens and cottons. Here's a guide to choosing the right fabric for your perfect suit:
First, consider the occasion for which you'll be wearing the suit. If it's a business suit, a wool or wool-blend fabric is a classic and versatile choice.
If you'll be wearing the suit in warmer weather or for a more casual event, a linen or cotton fabric can be a great option. It's also important to consider the colour and pattern of the fabric, as this will impact the overall look of your suit.
At Cameron Stephens, we only use the highest quality fabrics from renowned mills, ensuring that your bespoke suit is both stylish and durable.
Our tailoring experts are happy to guide you through the fabric options and help you choose the perfect fabric for your unique style and preferences.
The most common materials used in suits are wool and wool blends. Other materials like cotton, linen, and silk can also be used for suits.
A wool suit is made entirely from wool, while a wool blend suit is made from a combination of wool and other fibers like silk or polyester. Wool blend suits tend to be less expensive and easier to care for than pure wool suits.
Worsted wool is a tightly woven wool fabric that is smooth and durable, while woolen wool is a softer, looser weave that is typically used for more casual or textured suits.
Yes, linen is a popular material for summer suits due to its lightweight and breathable properties. However, linen suits are more prone to wrinkles and may require more maintenance than wool suits.
Super numbers refer to the fineness of the wool used in a suit. A higher Super number indicates a finer, more high-quality wool. Super 100s and 120s are common in most high-quality suits, while Super 180s and higher are considered luxury fabrics.
