Fabric Collection

The best fabrics for a custom suit are typically wool, wool blends, cashmere, mohair, and performance stretch materials. Wool remains the most versatile and durable option, offering breathability, structure, and a clean drape. For clients wanting a softer hand feel, luxury blends such as silk-wool or cashmere-wool provide an elevated finish. At AMBFA Tailor, we guide you through each fabric’s feel, weight, and durability to help you choose the ideal option for your suit.

Super numbers indicate fiber fineness — the higher the number, the finer and softer the wool.

• Super 100s–120s: Durable, ideal for everyday wear
• Super 130s–150s: Softer, smoother, elegant drape
• Super 160s+: Premium luxury, typically used for special occasions.

Higher Super numbers feel amazing but can be more delicate, so choosing the right one depends on how often you’ll wear the garment.

For warmer temperatures, lightweight wool, tropical wool, linen, linen-cotton blends, and breathable cotton fabrics perform best. These materials help regulate body temperature and maintain a sharp silhouette without trapping heat. We offer a full range of summer and breathable fabrics designed for comfort in warm environments.

For black-tie or formal occasions, high-quality wool with mohair, wool-silk blends, and satin-faced lapel fabrics are ideal. These materials offer a refined sheen, excellent drape, and a luxurious feel. Velvet is also a popular choice for dinner jackets. Our team can help you select formal fabrics that match the event level and desired style.

• Wool: Best all-around performer—breathable, wrinkle-resistant, durable, and structured.
• Linen: Lightweight and cool, perfect for warm climates, but wrinkles more easily.
• Cotton: Soft, natural, and comfortable, great for shirts and casual tailoring.
  Each fabric has unique advantages depending on your lifestyle and the look you want.
  

Fabric weight determines drape, structure, warmth, and comfort.

• Lightweight (200–260g): Breathable, ideal for warm weather
• Mid-weight (270–310g): Year-round versatility and balanced structure
• Heavyweight (320g+): Strong drape, excellent structure, premium feel
  Heavier fabrics create a sharper silhouette, while lighter fabrics offer more comfort and movement.

At AMBFA Tailor, we also offer a wide selection of premium linings to complement your chosen fabric. This includes Bemberg (CUPRO) lining, which is highly breathable, durable, and luxurious. Bemberg lining is rare and limited in availability, but we proudly provide it for clients seeking superior comfort and a refined finish inside their suit.
