Vercelli “Lexus” Designs 120’S, entirely made from 18micron wool. ‘S’ or Super rating relates to ‘fine quality wool’ and fineness of the fibers used in 120’s men’s suiting fabric. Our large selection of Super 120’s tailoring fabrics is light and durable so an ideal option for an everyday made-to-measure suit.
What Makes It Different?
- Reduced cost: The manufacturing cost of the item is reduced, but the inclusion of wool allows a higher price to be charged to the consumer.
- Better feel: Adding other fibers such as cotton or silk counterbalances the itchiness of wool and increases the item’s softness.
- Ease of care: Lowering the wool content by bringing in a synthetic fabric makes the item easier to wash and dry without special or delicate methods.
- Improved durability: Adding nylon or polyester to wool significantly increases the garment’s life by reducing pilling and shrinkage.
- Stretchability: The design of wool fibers doesn’t allow for much give-and-take. Adding synthetics or cotton to wool improves the ability of the item to stretch a bit as needed.
- Less weight: Adding lightweight synthetic fabrics help offset the natural heaviness of pure wool.
Care Instructions:
- Dry cleaning is typically the safest method for cleaning superfine wool garments.
- Professional dry cleaning helps maintain the fabric’s structure and minimizes the risk of shrinkage or damage.
- Keep them in a cool place and with cedar balls or lavender oil.
- As wool garments tend to collect moisture, therefore cover them with natural material like paper or cloth rather than plastic bags.
