The best way to enjoy beautiful warmth, comfort, and timeless elegance in the winter is to select the best winter-shaped fabric. L & K Bespoke Tailor has a reputation for helping their customers choose the best quality fabrics so they can build their own winter wardrobe that not only works well when it is cold but also looks good. With a custom-made suit that fits properly, you will wear it every time you go out in the winter.
When selecting your custom-made winter suit fabric, consider what types of events you will be attending (work, formal, or casual) before making your decision on which types of fabric to choose. The right fabric will improve your appearance as well as keep you warm during the cold weather months.
At L & K Bespoke Tailor, we offer a wide variety of fabrics that can be used to make a great winter suit. We focus on a variety of different weight categories (for instance, Merino, Tweed, Flannel, Worsted) of wool and Cashmere (so long as it is blended with silk or microfibre) to give you the best warmth and texture possible from quality fabric mills. Many of the traditional designs that you would expect to find on classic winter-style suits (i.e., Herringbone, Houndstooth, Donegal) are available as well.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Fabric for Your Winter Suit
When it comes to winter, suiting fabrics need to provide structure, support body heat retention and improve one’s overall looks. Men’s clothing fabrics should be chosen according to individual climate conditions. Colder winter climates demand an even greater emphasis on proper menswear fabric selection, as custom made suits will only perform optimally if they are made from the appropriate fabrics, enabling the wearer to be confident and well-dressed.
Merino Wool is the Number One Choice for a Winter Suiting Fabric Due to Its Lightweight Warmth & Superior Breathability
A Rugged Classic, Tweed, that is made for the harsher winter weather
Tweed, a classic style in cold-weather clothing, has a timeless heritage to it; this fabric is very durable and has a distinctive “feel” to it. Due to its thickness, it is warmer than other wool fabrics and offers superior insulation for cold weather. If you love the traditional look of Tweed and want something warmer, you will want to purchase tweed fabric. Tweed has many different patterns (herringbone, houndstooth, and plaid) that simply add to the dressy appearance of your suit, and represent that style during particular seasons. For those who spend time outdoors or work in a more casual setting, or prefer to layer in the winter months, Tweed garments provide an excellent option.
A Soft, Warm, Highly Adaptable Fabric that is Useable Everywhere
Flannel wool suits are the most comfortable fabric to wear and are refined. Flannel has a brushed surface, which makes flannel feel a bit softer than most wool but still provides a good structure to the garment. The way flannel drapes, flannel seems to work exceptionally well on every suit type—double-breasted power suits and modern slim-fits. Flannel is the more common fabric of choice that can be worn in both casual winters and more formal occasions.
Sleek and Durable Worsted Wool is Season-Ready
Worsted wool has a smooth surface that is ideal for formal winter clothing due to its polished finish. The tightly spun fibers of this material make it very sturdy while also making it naturally insulating without the extra weight. This means that those who want to look well-groomed but want to remain warm during the winters will be able to do so. Business professionals or those who will be attending a winter ball or any type of ceremony in a very elegant fashion will find that worsted wool is still their first choice.
Cashmere Blends – The Ultimate Luxury in Winter
Cashmere takes the concept of winter suits to another level of luxury. The Cashmere blend is lightweight and incredibly soft, yet it is equally very warm. When Cashmere is combined with either Silk or Microfiber, the end result is a fabric that has extra durability as well as luster making the suits made from these fabrics not only look but feel like luxury products. Cashmere Blends are the best choice when you will be attending a formal event during the winter months.
To conclude, select the materials used to make your winter suit based on what best matches your lifestyle and dress preferences. In general, the materials that have been discussed will provide warmth, durability and an attractive appearance. A winter suit should not only serve its functional purpose for winter use but also should complement your personal style.
