Wool Blend
Wool Blends offer tailored solutions by combining the natural benefits of wool with the properties of other fibers like polyester, silk, or linen. These blends are often engineered for specific performance characteristics, such as enhanced durability or wrinkle resistance, providing practical options for everyday garments.
Characteristics of Wool Blends vary greatly depending on the composition. At Nordic Bespoke tailoring, we pride ourselves on only the best blends. Scoring highly on durability (8/10) and wrinkle resistance (8/10), suggesting a practical choice for frequent wear. However, breathability (6/10) and softness (6/10) might be lower than pure wool, particularly in wool/polyester blends. Formality is typically moderate (7/10).
Wool Blends are commonly used for durable business suits, work trousers, skirts, robust blazers, and overcoats, especially where practicality and resistance to creasing are priorities.
Fabric Characteristics Legend
Lightness (for Warmth): Refers to the fabric's weight and suitability for different temperatures. A higher score indicates a lighter fabric, better suited for warm climates or layering, while a lower score suggests a heavier, warmer fabric for cooler weather.
Durability: Measures the fabric's ability to withstand wear and tear over time. A higher score means the fabric is more robust and resistant to damage, making it suitable for garments worn frequently.
Drape: Describes how the fabric hangs and flows on the body. A higher score indicates a fabric that falls elegantly and contours well, often associated with luxury and fluidity. A lower score might suggest a stiffer, more structured fabric.
Breathability: Indicates how well the fabric allows air and moisture (like perspiration) to pass through. Higher scores mean better airflow, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather.
Wrinkle Resistance: Measures the fabric's tendency to resist creasing. A higher score means the fabric stays smoother during wear and requires less ironing.
Formality: Gauges the fabric's suitability for formal occasions versus casual wear. Higher scores are associated with fabrics typically used for business suits, evening wear, or important events, often having a smoother finish or subtle sheen. Lower scores lean towards more relaxed, everyday garments.
Softness: Refers to the tactile feel of the fabric against the skin. A higher score indicates a smoother, more luxurious, and comfortable feel.
