A Higher Quality Wool Tuxedo

Although wool is usually a more expensive fabric compared to most for producing a tuxedo, it is one of the most commonly used. It is commonly used because there is an even balance between its cost and practicality. Wool is a very practical fabric to use because it keeps you warmer in the winter, cooler during the summer, and you it is great to use for tailoring.

Like many fabrics of the same basic type, there are many different calibers and types of wool. Some are even made from recycled fabric. The highest grade is virgin wool. That means the wool fabric has not been previously utilized. The thickness of the fiber is also a primary factor in the grade and quality of the wool. The wool made of the thinnest fibers will produce the finest final product.

Wool doesn’t only come from sheep either. Camels, goats and llama’s wool can also be used. However, of all the other choices, it’s the pure, thinly stranded virgin sheep’s wool that is the most sought, and subsequently the most expensive to buy once turned into your tuxedo.

Although never found in the more expensive designer tuxedo, wool and polyester blends can offer cost savings and a fair amount of crease resistance. However, it’s pure wool that is still the best choice.

Utilizing wools of different thickness, the tuxedo can be produced in a heavier or lighter version depending on the time of year you will need it most often. When thicker strands are used to make the tuxedo, it will block the cold air acting as a barrier against winter chills. When thinner strands are used to make the tuxedo, it will do the reverse and allow the hotter air to pass through keeping you cooler in the summer heat.

A woolen suit will not pull out of shape. Sometimes, if yo own a virgin wool tuxedo, you can remove it from your suitcase after a journey and wear it almost instantly. If it needs ironing, make sure you use plenty of steam because dry heat will harm the fibers.

Try not to put any stress on any part of it when wet. The fibers will weaken, so it must be allowed to dry naturally and not hung.

If you care for your appearance, get yourself the best pure wool tuxedo you can afford. It will last you a lifetime, especially if your waistline doesn’t expand too much.
