Men's wool suit

What time of year to wear a wool suit?

The wool suit is a timeless piece, long popular with men. This material has a considerable advantage over others: it can be worn in both winter and summer, contrary to what one might think. It's all a question of the weight of the wool!

In winter

Made from raw brushed wool, flannel has the advantage of being comfortable thanks to its downy appearance. To the touch, you will notice an incomparable softness. Tweed is a heavy and thick fabric made from carded wool. It is suitable for harsh climates thanks to its waterproofness and strength. Finally, thick, merino or alpaca wool is perfect for providing a barrier against the cold.In summerTropical wool, also called cold wool, is a 100% wool and lightweight material, because it has a less dense weave for maximum ventilation. Be careful, cold wool creases very quickly. Wool/linen and wool/linen/silk blends are also amazing combinations of light and breathable fabrics, ideal for the summer season. Indeed, silk and wool have thermoregulating properties. These noble materials have an elegant finish thanks to the wool at a minimum height of 50%.How to clean and maintain a wool suit?

Wool, especially combed wool, has the virtue of being strong, durable and more or less light depending on its weight. If the wool suit is not washed properly, the fiber attracts dirt and retains odors. Similarly, it is important not to wash wool too often to maintain the strength of the fabric.

In general, it is advisable to use a dry cleaning process using a mixture of solvents without water. The best solution is therefore to entrust your suit to a professional for cleaning. In the meantime, you can use a steam cleaning to freshen up your suit yourself. Then, store your suit on a hanger, preferably wooden, so that it retains its shape.
