A suit is, as a rule, work clothes, and the comfort and convenience of the whole working day depends on what fabric it is made of. That is why the fabric for the suit should be chosen especially carefully, taking into account not only the composition, but also the features of the wear of the future suit.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine where you plan to wear the suit. If you are going to get home in it on public transport, it is better to choose a fabric that is thicker, windproof, resistant to dirt and inclement weather. For travel by car and important events, you can prefer a more delicate and expensive option.
Step 2
Pay attention to the composition of the fabric for the suit. Of course, it is best to prefer natural wool, it "breathes" and at the same time perfectly retains heat. Please note that some woolen fabrics wrinkle a lot and should not be ironed frequently. A synthetic suit looks spectacular, but it will be hot in summer and cold in winter. Ideal for everyday wear; 55% wool and 45% synthetic additives.
Step 3
To determine if the fabric is wrinkled, wrinkle it with your hand when choosing in a store. See if the creases are smoothed out and how quickly. If the folds are clearly visible after a minute, do not use this material, it will look sloppy when worn. Best of all, if the fabric will contain lycra, this will save you from the need for daily ironing.
Step 4
Try to part the thread of the fabric apart. If a gap immediately appears between them, this material is not very high quality and when tensioned near the seams, the fabric is likely to "creep", and the trousers on the knees will quickly stretch out. To prevent the fabric on the knees and elbows from stretching and quickly regaining its shape, buy fabric with elastane or lycra.
Step 5
Choose the color of the fabric depending on the shape and build. For tall men and women, choose a fleecy fabric in a cage; with a large build, a suit made of smooth fabric with a narrow vertical strip is better. When choosing a color, consider the opinion of the person to whom you are going to sew the suit, not all men will resignedly wear a suit in a cage or strip.
Step 6
For the lining of a suit, choose a viscose or acetate-viscose fabric, it is hygroscopic and suitable even for summer clothes. Acetate is slightly inferior, be aware that sweat stains may occur on it. If you plan on sewing a mid-season suit, choose an inexpensive polyester lining fabric that is very durable, although not hygroscopic.
