Sharkskin...

Cool season fabric for suits or warm. I know its a bit "shinier" than most wools, but does this mean cheap?

Thanks for any and all help?

Sharkskin does not mean cheap. What's your question?

how is sharkskin viewed in comparison to other wools? Also, is it summer or fall/winter fabric for suits?

It is what it is. Seasonality is more dependent on weight than a specific finish/pattern, except flannels.

You can find suits made of wool in many different fabric weights suited for different seasons. Why bother with sharkskin?
