Are there any fabric manufacturers out there making suit fabric that is both wrinkle and water resistant? Would there be any stylistic problems with such a fabric if it existed? e.g. would it look too stiff or plastic-like compared to a traditional wool?

Wool is already both wrinkle-resistant and water-resistant.
