Many people may think of a high quality tailored jacket made of 100% wool with a smooth texture. Today, a wide range of tailored jackets are available, from natural fabrics such as cotton and linen to synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon, but the most orthodox tailored jackets are those made of wool. For more upscale jackets, fabrics incorporating cashmere and silk are popular. While these fabrics can create a luxurious mood with a sheen and smoother touch than wool, they also have disadvantages such as poor wrinkle recovery, so they should be chosen strategically according to use and style.
