Pure Wool
Pure Wool is the timeless cornerstone of classic tailoring, valued for its natural durability, insulation, and ability to be expertly shaped. This versatile fabric offers a balance of comfort, performance, and structure, making it a reliable and elegant choice for a wide range of bespoke garments.
Pure Wool provides excellent durability (8/10), good drape (7/10), and solid wrinkle resistance (7/10), making it a practical and sharp choice. Its moderate lightness (6/10) and breathability (6/10) offer warmth, while its formality (8/10) makes it suitable for most business and formal settings.
Pure Wool, particularly worsted wool, is the traditional choice for crafting tailored suits, trousers, skirts, blazers, sports jackets, and durable overcoats. It's a versatile fabric suitable for year-round wear depending on the weight.
Fabric Characteristics Legend
Lightness (for Warmth): Refers to the fabric's weight and suitability for different temperatures. A higher score indicates a lighter fabric, better suited for warm climates or layering, while a lower score suggests a heavier, warmer fabric for cooler weather.
Durability: Measures the fabric's ability to withstand wear and tear over time. A higher score means the fabric is more robust and resistant to damage, making it suitable for garments worn frequently.
Drape: Describes how the fabric hangs and flows on the body. A higher score indicates a fabric that falls elegantly and contours well, often associated with luxury and fluidity. A lower score might suggest a stiffer, more structured fabric.
Breathability: Indicates how well the fabric allows air and moisture (like perspiration) to pass through. Higher scores mean better airflow, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather.
Wrinkle Resistance: Measures the fabric's tendency to resist creasing. A higher score means the fabric stays smoother during wear and requires less ironing.
Formality: Gauges the fabric's suitability for formal occasions versus casual wear. Higher scores are associated with fabrics typically used for business suits, evening wear, or important events, often having a smoother finish or subtle sheen. Lower scores lean towards more relaxed, everyday garments.
Softness: Refers to the tactile feel of the fabric against the skin. A higher score indicates a smoother, more luxurious, and comfortable feel.
