When choosing a summer suit, check the fabric material!

Summer suits vary greatly from comfort to impression depending on the fabric used. First of all, we would like you to understand the types of materials used for fabrics, and then try to find a suit that fits your lifestyle.

Typical fabric material for summer suits (1) “Cotton, a standard material with excellent moisture absorption and texture “

Cotton, a standard natural fiber, has excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties and is soft to the touch. It is often used in casual fabrics for spring and summer, but it can also be used in a variety of business styles, depending on the way it is folded and finished. Serge, seersucker, gabardine, and cordorane are known as standard fabrics.

Typical fabric material for summer suits (2) “The best material for midsummer is “linen””

Linen is far more absorbent and quick-drying than cotton or silk, quickly absorbing and dissipating sweat and moisture. Its unique crisp texture is less sticky, and its breathability is excellent, giving it a cool feeling. One drawback of linen is that it tends to wrinkle easily, but recently, by blending it with synthetic fibers and wool, models are being developed that are wrinkle resistant and do not easily lose their shape.

Typical fabric material for summer suits (3) “”Nylon”” for its strength and abrasion resistance “

Nylon” has excellent abrasion resistance and is characterized by its elasticity and softness. Most suits made solely of nylon have an active feel, and are usually sold as set-up suits. Fabrics made by blending natural fibers and nylon have both natural texture and high strength, which are the characteristics of both fabrics, and can be used in a wide range of situations. They are also sometimes referred to as ” polyamide.

Typical fabric materials for summer suits (4) “Also look out for airy “wool” made for summer!”

Wool is often associated with winter, but depending on how it is woven, it can be worn comfortably even in summer because the fiber itself can contain air and has low thermal conductivity. In addition to its excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties, wool is also a fabric that does not easily lose its shape, so if you are looking for a summer suit for business use, wool is definitely the right choice. However, continuous wear is undesirable as it tends to ruin it, so it is advisable to let it rest for about two days after wearing it once. Incidentally, typical summer fabrics made of wool include tropical and broadcloth.
