Winter and tweed fabric for men’s suits

#TeachingsTuesdays

Though initially found in Scotland in the 18th century to keep outdoor workers warmer and insulated, tweed is now a luxury fabric. It is similar to woolen fabric and made of animal fibers. The only difference between wool and tweed is that these tweed fabrics have tight weaves with specific patterns, like twill, herringbone, harris, and checks. 

Most importantly, no particular weave type or weight exists to define a tweed fabric. Instead, there are varied weights and weave types.

The Art of Tailoring: What Makes Italian Suits Different?

Undoubtedly, Italian suits are the epitome of sophisticated and modern men’s wear. They carry distinctive elements, like the Italian tradition, state-of-the-art elegance, sartorial innovation, minute detailing, and ultimate comfort. Together these elements differentiate these Italian suits from American and British suit styles.  

How have Italian suit styles evolved?

It all began after the Second World War (1940s) wherein three cities selectively contributed to the art of tailoring suits with a unique Italian flair. The first one is Milan that’s known for minimalistic formal or semi-formal elegant suits. The second one is Naples that’s known for comfy and relaxed suits. The third one is Rome that’s known for the blend of the first two. 

Later in the 1960s, these Italian styles spread all over the world making it the style statement when it comes to men’s suits. Thanks to Hollywood celebrities and business tycoons who featured them and made it an inspirational style for the rest of the world.   

The distinguishing features of Italian suits

  1. Responsiveness to the physical body

The very specialty of Italian suits is that they help highlight the body features that need to be highlighted and hide those that need to be hidden. This makes these suits highly responsive to the man’s physical body giving a perfect structure. 

  1. Higher armholes

Unlike American suits that have lower armholes, Italian suits have higher armholes. This makes the suit more relaxed, cozy, and streamlined with free hand movements. Thus, fashionistas call it the hallmark feature of Italian suits.      

  1. A proportionate fit with the right silhouette

As mentioned earlier, Italian suits are cut and tailored with impeccable proportions. This ensures the suit befits the body measurements without hindering the movement and at the same time, looks incredibly flawless giving the right silhouette.  

  1. Unpadded shoulders

Unpadded shoulders in Italian suits render a natural look to the men’s suit without creating stiffness or any sort of discomfort even when worn throughout the day. On the contrary, American suits feature heavy padding that gives an artificially structured look or silhouette.

  1. Lightweight and luxury fabrics

Italian suits are made of lightweight fabrics like cashmere, linen, and silk. These are breathable fabrics allowing more room for ventilation. Also, these fabrics give a luxury or grandeur look when tailored and styled with the right accessories. Another advantage of these fabrics is that designers can create versatile styles without forgoing traditional Italian elegance.   

  1. Intricate details

Take any Italian suit and they will have intricate details. Yes, Italian designers are adept at paying attention to tapestry intricacies. Hence, these suits are unique in style. It could be a simple button, cuff links, the trousers, the lapels, the vests, or the pocket squares.  

Conclusion

Needless to say, Italian suits have always been at the fashion forefront and they keep innovating the existing men’s suit styles with minimal modifications that boost the overall grace. So, if you’re bored wearing American suit styles all your life, give Italian suits a try. Trust us—it’s worth the try!
