No matter it is a novice or a regular customer who has been customized for many times, it will take some effort to select the fabric. Even after careful selection and determination, there are always some uncertainties. Here are the main reasons:
First, it is difficult to imagine the overall effect of the garment through the palm-sized fabric block;
The second reason is that different fabric weaving methods and various parameters often bring different texture of garments.
In order to solve the problem of choosing fabric, today’s article will explain the details you need to pay attention to when choosing fabric. A little understanding can be used as a small trick.
Fabric weight influence
Number of label in fabrics on, may not mark the fabric yarn weave, but must be marked with its g, from the practical application, gram than yarn weave can play a more “qualitative” of a fabric. As we all know, fabrics are seasonal. In different season, the requirement of the fabric gram is different. So we need to let the customer get the pick up range of the gram directly. What does that gram mean? Strictly speaking, it refers to the weight of one meter of fabric, which directly determines the amount of wool and thus affects the warmth. If you understand it in a more general way, you can take it as the thickness of the fabric. The higher the gram of worsted fabric, the thicker the fabric, and the lower the gram, the thinner the fabric.
Normally the fabrics will be set regularly. You won’t see the summer fabric and the winner fabric be put together. So when we start our plan to pick up the fabric which we want, the first step is distinguish the season and the gram. Check the information of the fabric composition, specification, weight, width on the fabric label. To make yourself to be a connoisseur.
You may have a question how different of the grams in different season, especially on the TR fabric for making suit. There has a big difference,really!
1. Spring/Summer
The gram weight range is in 200 grams ~250 grams or so (I have seen the suit fabric with lowest gram weight is 160 grams, buy normally we will choose the gram higher than 180 grams), basically count as spring/summer fabrics. Like this kind of light and thin fabric, in sunny places, looking at the sun, will be a little transparent, but wearing on the body will not penetrate. This kind of fabric has good air permeability and fast heat dissipation, but it is relatively short of straightness, with a relatively low degree of formality and poor anti-wrinkle performance (a few of them will improve the anti-wrinkle performance after some special finishing). The picture below is 240 grams for spring/summer.

2. Four Seasons
Gram weight range is in 260 grams ~290 grams, basically count as fabrics of four seasons.As the name implies, the four seasons fabric has the moderate thickness, and it is suitable for wearing all the year round. It is not easy to wrinkle as the spring/summer fabric. Comparing with autumn/winter fabric its hand feeling is softer. As a result, it takes up over a half wardrobe of some people. Also in fabric market, four seasons fabric has the most quantity, and easy to find.

3. Autumn/Winter
The gram weight range exceeds 290 grams basically counts as autumn and winter fabrics. Some people are used to wear long Johns under the suit in winter. But most of them must meet the embarrassed time that the electrostatic reaction appearing with the long Johns and trousers rubbing cause the trousers curl up and stick to their thighs. To avoid such uncomfortable situation happening, choosing heavier anti-static autumn/winter fabric is a wise solution. Except anti-static, the autumn/winter fabric promote warmth function obviously.The characteristics of high weight fabrics can be summarized as: stiff, not easy to deformation, wrinkle resistance, easy to handle, high warmth.

If you are a typical business people, five working days in a week, all year round will wear a suit, the knowledge of suit fabric is necessary to understand. Clearly know the temperature in your living city in different seasons, then consider whether the suit you prepared for each season is reasonable. Wearing different weights of suit in different seasons shows the discipline of a gentleman. Appropriate color collocation can significantly enhance personal taste. The wearing feeling, fabric choosing. color matching directly affect a person’s taste in clothes and self-restraint.
How to choose the color and texture?
The color and texture of the fabric are the most likely to cause a headache when choosing the fabric. What should I do if I can’t choose it?Let’s first analyze what effect different colors and lines will have on the overall dressing collocation, and then adapt to which dressing occasions respectively. After the analysis, we may have an idea.
The depth of the fabric directly determines the degree of formality of the occasion. The darker the more formal, the lighter the more relaxed. In other words, if suits are only worn for work and some formal occasions, lighter fabrics can be completely ruled out.In the whole collocation process, there is a point that cannot be ignored is to match leather shoes. The darker the color of the suit, the easier it is to buy the leather shoes with appropriate collocation. The lighter the color of the suit, the more difficult to match leather shoes.
The vast majority of people wear suit is formal circumstance to wear. When talking about choosing colors, cannot escape black, gray, blue these 3 kinds of color, often need to come up from different grain at this time have distinction, reveal individual character.
1. Bright Striped Fabric
Striped suit is often appear in the business occasions, or is not suitable for some partial academic and government affairs on formal occasions. The fringe spacing narrower pinstripe won’t too high profile, or too ordinary, is a good choice for most people. The more wide stripe aura, daily work, the boss will often wear wide stripes. If you are a newcomer, workplace was temporarily don’t consider the wide stripe.

2. Plaid Fabric
Dark stripes and dark plies are becoming more and more popular because people want to wear something that suits their work environment ,and doesn’t look like everyone else,or too obvious. At this time, you can’t see it from a distance, but you can see it in detail nearby.In all sorts of dark grain, herringbone grain dark grain is the most appear mature, sedate, that is to say, those who want to wear young bit can be ruled out, the grain of the number of light and shade on a few luster, often more easily appear young and fashionable.

3. Herringbone Fabric
Herringbone grain (also known as fish bone grain) is generally not obvious, if people stand 2 meters away from the general can not be seen.So it’s safe for people who don’t want to be too dressy, but can’t exaggerate. The people who wear herringbone suit appears low-key luxury.
The neglected weaving method
Fabric characteristics of the different weave fabrics have differences. Some fabrics have good luster, some fabrics won’t gloss wrinkle,the resistance is better, some fabrics have great elastic. When we know how these different texture, which is more clear piece of fabric is more suitable for themselves. And the relative key knowledge points are often ignored by most people.
1. Twill Weave
This is one of the biggest selling suit fabric weaving methods. The overall performance is stable, without obvious disadvantage, but also without obvious bright spot. Relatively speaking, if the fabric yarn is high, it is easier to appear glossy and droopy.The above illustration shows a solid color fabric, which is also used in most of our common stripes and plaid patterns.
2. Plain Weave
Plain fabric has more interlace points. It has the features like firm texture, smooth surface, both sides of the appearance of the same effect,relatively light, better air permeability. The plain structure determines its low density.Flat weave feels rough and stiff, so it has better wrinkle resistance than twill, and is easier to iron and handle than twill. But the biggest difference is that it has no luster. Some customers like matte fabrics, so this weave method is a better choice.
3. Bird’s Eye Weaving
Bird ‘s-eye weave is our is recommended as a daily suit weave. In addition to burnish feeling, almost all the remaining properties are relatively good, whether wrinkle resistance, resilience, hang down feeling or manageable level. After the long time wearing experience, we found that the bird ‘s-eye weave is more durable to wear and to look.
