Hello,

I'm looking at a caruso suit which is full canvas and seems to be put together well. However, its 2% elastane and labeled as a "travel suit". The only reason I'm looking at it is because it's marked down and I need a navy suit.

Whats your advice on this? Would this still function as a business suit, or will the elastane make the drape weird/different? Or should I avoid synthetic fibers, even from well renowned brands such as caruso?

Thanks in advance.
