Ermenegildo Zegna Fabric Blend

[eztantz]

The suit I'm looking at is 52% Mohair, 24% Silk and 24% Wool.

Is anyone familiar with this fabric by Zegna?

How much sheen is there going to be?

Also how does the silk play into the shine and softness of the fabric - I know mohair tends to be

stiffer than wool but how does the silk affect the softness of the hand?

Any insight would be appreciated.

I understand it will breathe easier but too shiny won't work for me.

You are talking a Tonik fabric here I suspect so there will be a bit of sheen going on.

Fabric is by Zegna it's a Su Misura suit.

I've updated the OP.

Maybe someone here has a Zegna suit with that blend?
