What kind of herringbone fabrics are suitable for suits?

As far as suits are concerned, the most representative herringbone fabrics are tweed and Solaro. Interestingly, although most of the materials of the two are wool, due to the difference in the thickness of the yarn and the density of the weave, they show very different effects. Tweed is good for winter, while Solaro is good for summer.

Tweed, originated in Scotland and Ireland, this fabric was originally a handmade fabric woven by farmers to resist the wet and cold climate. After processing by the textile company, a twill weave garment with the herringbone pattern is created. Its structure is soft, the handle is rough and thick, and it is slightly prickly. The comfort level is not high when worn it, but its durability makes it popular sought after.

Most of this kind of fabric is natural color, it has the unique texture of herringbone pattern, and it also takes into account the functions of moisture-proof, warm-keeping and anti-wrinkle, which has a very casual style. In the past, the upper class in the West liked to wear clothes made of tweed to attend country club parties and carry out outdoor activities such as hunting and golf. In the British drama "Downton Abbey", the lovely dad is wearing a riding suit made of herringbone tweed.

In modern dress, suit-style herringbone tweed is not suitable for particularly formal occasions, but we can wear it for daily commuting and semi-formal occasions. In terms of women's clothing, herringbone tweed still plays an important role. However, due to the gentlemanly temperament and historical factors of tweed itself, the ladies wear it will be full of heroism and have a neutral taste.

After talking about tweed, let's talk about Solaro. In fact, many people must have seen it, but they didn't know it was called Solaro. This fabric using the change of the weave angle of latitude and longitude, it forms a manifestation similar to dark stripes, which is actually a fine herringbone pattern when you look closely. Because the yarn used is thinner, the weave is loose, so the fabric has good drape and air permeability, it is especially suitable for summer wear.

The appearance of Solaro is a "technological creation" during the war. It is woven with two different yarns, and the surface will change color due to changes in sunlight conditions, which can prevent sun protection. However, it was later confirmed that it does not have sun protection function.

Well, that's all for the herringbone pattern fabric. In winter, you need warmth and beauty. Please let us own a herringbone suit.
