A couple of the first MTM suits I ordered when I first started-out a few years ago have polyester linings. I always knew that Bemberg was the ideal lining material, but falsely assumed that the maker would default to it. The linings don't really appear that inferior to Bemberg to me in terms of look feel. I have noticed, however, that a few of these lining appear to be "shedding" tiny little fibers that end-up wiggling out through the outside of the coat recently. Is this common with polyester linings? Is it a condition that will worsen with time? Or is not that big of a deal; the polyester will give comparable, if not as good, service to Bemberg?
