Refers to any fabric woven to make suits, from light-weight summer linen to winter wool weights, mixes of wool and silk, linen and silk, linen and wool…and in any weave, check or pattern. Suiting fabrics are designed to be durable, with a high rub test and a soft but firm drape, and are lovely to work with: very well worth considering for interior furnishings.
The Hotel Seven in Amsterdam was furnished beautifully and entirely with men’s suiting fabrics.
