Choosing the right fabric for your suit can be overwhelming. One of the many joys I get from being a tailor is the endless range of fabrics I deal with on a daily basis. It’s taken many years to appreciate the work that goes into making suiting fabrics and learn not every fabric is as it seems. I’ve had many a failed attempt using fabrics that I’d inherited through various people in the trade. It was never a financial dent, but the hours lost and admitting defeat always hurt a little.
This however isn’t the case with Dormeuil’s Calypso range. I’m always drawn to anything that has a linen like feel and this 80% wool / 20% linen blend certainly delivers that. Its lightness in weight speaks for itself and immediately conjures up feelings of summer. Its crisp handling is a direct result of the linen content, without the wrinkling effect we so often associate with flax materials.
What’s most striking about this range is its colour palette. The Calypso is for the more striking gentleman who wants that splash of colour and check in his wardrobe. This is a refreshing change from the fabrics we generally see when it comes to suiting.
It took less than a day to choose several combinations I could see myself in and within 24 hours I had succumbed to placing an order with Dormeuil.
A high quality fabric ensures a high quality suit when it comes to wear and tear. If you love your suit as much as we do at MR. CUFF, you’ll probably be wearing it all the time. The last thing you want is your suit coming apart at the seams. Using Dormeuil ensures your suit’s durability.

a quality suit comes down the fabric choice.

It’s so helpful to know that Mr Cuff works with ethical and small fabric providers that go the extra mile to provide a quality product. Now that I’m more aware of the environmental and human cost of fast fashion, bespoke is definitely the way to go!

An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me lunch because I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this matter here on your blog.
