A wool suit will be far superior and of better quality compared to a polyester blend — we’ve been over this— wool is more breathable, or insulating, it’s a natural fiber and sustainable for the environment, has a better hand and feel, and is still the common and goto choice for professional attire or formal occasions.

But, what kind of wool fabric do you go for?

Worsted, woolen, flannel, high twist, plain weave, hopsack, super 150’s, merino, tweed, cashmere….and in what weight? It can be a little overwhelming, but once you have a better understanding it can be very interesting and even nice to have a variation in your wardrobe.

When I make suits and help our customers I always try to nail down TPO (T is time, P is place and O is occasion) which helps lead us to the best recommendation.

I’ll help you solve for T or season by breaking down the options into 3 categories; Spring Summer wools, Fall and winter wools and four season wools. Then, based on your place and occasion you can make an informed decision on your next suit.
