Worsted Suiting
Worsted suiting is a high-quality woven fabric made primarily from fine wool fibers, known for its smooth texture and durability, making it ideal for tailored garments.
About Worsted Suiting
Worsted suiting is constructed using a plain weave, which provides a firm and smooth surface. The fabric is typically made from long-staple wool fibers that are spun into fine yarns, resulting in a lightweight yet durable fabric. It is characterized by its crisp hand, excellent drape, and resistance to wrinkling, making it a popular choice for tailored suits, blazers, and formal wear. The fabric's natural breathability and moisture-wicking properties enhance comfort, while its refined appearance adds a touch of elegance to any garment.
