Learning how to choose a wool suit will dramatically increase the quality of your wardrobe. In this article you will learn the differences between the various types of wool and when to wear them.

Wool suits are drastically different among the various types. These types include: tweed, herringbone, flannel, and worsted wool. Differences range from weight, quality, and even durability.

High quality suits are spun at a much higher speed than lower quality suit. Designers tell us what the quality is by giving us a number system ranging from 100 to 200. The higher the quality the higher the number. Suits that are spun at speeds above 150 are generally reserved for luxury suits.

The first type of wool we need to discuss is tweed. These suits are the most durable suit on the market and also the thickest. Determining this type of suit is easy because the material usually always comes in a checkered pattern. Wear this suit as a winter suit as it is warmer than all the other types.

The next type of suit we need to discuss is the herringbone suit. Herringbone suits come in zig zag patterns which makes them easy to spot on the suit racks. These suits are lighter than tweed suits which makes them great for year round use.

Flannel suits are a fantastic addition to the wool suit lineup. These suits are thicker than worsted and herringbone models and are great for the winter. The flannel suit can be spun from both worsted wool and woolen yarn which gives the designer greater freedom in creating the weight of the suit.

Men looking for a summer suit made from wool should not look at any other model than the worsted wool model. This suit is light and soft making it ideal for the man looking for something comfortable to wear in comfortable climates.

Always remember to think about the places you will be wearing your suit before choosing a material. The main goal of a suit is to make a man look better, but that does not mean he should be uncomfortable.
