I am not sure about this fabric for a suit. What is your opinion?
The fabric that is used for this suit is a 160s 15,5 micron wool by Loro Piana. I know that Loro Piana is a good manufacturer of fabrics but I am not sure what to think about the "shiny" kind of appearance. What I have seen in the past, is that people with sartorial knowledge rather wear...- Nick2310

Fabric required for a short sleeve shirt
I wanted to get a bunch of seersucker and linen/linen blend cloth for my male relatives in India who would certainly appreciate it in the 115 degree heat.

Polyester Wool Blend Suit?
I think I know the answer to this, but I need some of your wisdom. Is it worth getting a suit made from a polyester and wool blend? Perhaps as much as a 45-55 mix? Thank You- simusince83

Cotton v Wool suits
Hey all, Just wondering what your thoughts are on cotton suits in comparison with wool suits. I heard cotton suits are lighter but also wrinkle up easier. Is this true? Which one looks/feels better (more shiny) and which one takes more wear? Cheers- stargazer

Criteria for judging: medium weight/three season fabric; pretty basic navys or charcoals, maybe with some sort of self-pattern; Super 120s-150s...- BlvdDandy
