Our next topic is about the second-most asked question, what cloth should I use for my first suit? After settling on the colour of your first suit, the next major consideration is often which material you want your suit to be made with. There is a plethora of materials and cloths to choose from, including linen and cotton, but wool, specifically worsted wool should always be your first choice insofar as suiting for several reasons. ‘Worsted’ refers to a specific method of spinning pre-sorted long and fine wool fibres into a compact and robust yarn that is used to weave a worsted cloth. This resultant cloth has a sleek and smooth finish that sets it apart from woollen cloth, giving the suit a more polished and ‘professional’ appearance.
