Despite having the fame of being too hot over summer days, wool is actually a fabric that can remain classy under any type of weather. At the same time, it would keep you warm over winter. On the other hand, polyester is quite a light fabric that will not keep you warm over winter but it can make you sweat over summer as its breathability is not as efficient. Blended fabrics, such as polyester and cotton, help to balance this. Despite the evolution of polyester and blended fabrics, the natural fibre of wool, if well taken care of, will last much, much longer.
So, when you are thinking of which type of suit you should get, take this into consideration. Anyone can note the friction mark by the elbows, bad ironing or how stains are prone to stick over time. Another thing to note is that polyester is subject to static, which can be avoided in most cases by using blended fabrics. No other fabric compares to the warm softness and breathability of real wool and worsted.
The issue is that thicker types of wool can be quite heavy, itchy or not favour the body shape. On the other hand, lighter types of wool can wrinkle way too easily. In some cases, the lack of air circulation can result in unpleasant odours and increased sweat.
Wool production on sheep farms produces a high percentage of greenhouse gas emissions which have an impact on climate change. Polyester, as a petroleum-based fibre made from a non-renewable resource—which is not biodegradable—, causes high levels of pollution. Fashion manufacturers are currently delving into the use of recycled plastic bottles to produce polyester but this still raises many questions.
Is recycling bottles actually more damaging for the environment? Hands down, the most important aspect that will determine the fineness of your garment is the fabric. You can get all the other things right but if that fails…the whole thing may fall apart.
So, what do you want in your suit? To be durable, to last more than one season, to have a good feel on your skin and to be a good fit for your body shape allowing you freedom of movement. We already told you that the best wool comes from the shoulders and sides of a sheep. At the end of the day though, what will matter is to stimulate your senses and feel the texture of the fabric as a whole.
Nowadays, it's also possible to find suits made of synthetics that still possess excelling quality by portraying benefits such as lightweight, great draping and softness. It's your call if you wish to have a lower quality woollen suit or a higher polyester—or blend—garment.
The way you take care of your suit, regardless of the fabric, is one of the most important aspects of durability. Manufacturers label their garments with washing and drying instructions, so it always pays to take a closer look at those. Ironing can disrupt the internal canvas of your suit, altering its shape and look. Steam the spot to help soften compressed fibers. While the fibers are warm from the steam, gently pull any distortion to help flatten it out.
With blended fabrics, try soaking the item in cold water overnight. Wash the item with 1 part vinegar to 2 parts detergent. Dab the area with vinegar and water until the fibers lift and the shine fades. Place a cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide over the item and iron over it. Repeat until the shine mark disappears. How to Remove Polyester from an Iron If polyester fabric has melted to the surface of your soleplate, you need to take care not to scratch the surface while cleaning it, never use a scouring brush or harsh abrasive as this can damage the iron and it will lose that smooth glide when you iron.
Soleplate Cleaning Kit The best solution is to buy a soleplate cleaning kit and then follow these steps: First, empty the irons water tank. Your iron must be hot. Apply a small amount of the cleaner to a cotton terry cloth or face cloth.
Iron over the cloth and cleaner using a circular motion. Unplug the iron and while it cools, remove any cleaner from the soleplate with a clean cloth. Yet, there is another part to the men's suit jacket which does not receive as much attention — The interior jacket lining. The lining is an important part to the jacket — structurally and fashionably. The lining in your suit jacket adds structure and weight to your suit. A fully-lined suit jacket is heavier, warmer and has a thicker look to it.
As a result, the suit jacket lays nicely over the contours of the body. As opposed to half lined or unlined suit jackets, a lined jacket will not crinkle or catch on your dress shirt as easy. The extra fabric the lining is another layer between the outside shell on your body. Lined suit jackets are ideal for cool climates because the lining will help keep body heat closer to the skin.
There are 2 general groups — natural and synthetic. The former comprises mostly of silk and is often found at high-end bespoke companies.
