FAQs
What type of fabric is this suit made from?
The suit is made from 100% pure virgin wool sourced from the Italian mill Reda. It features Super 110’s yarn, indicating a high fineness for superior quality.
What is the fit of this suit?
The suit has a regular fit, designed to offer a balanced silhouette that is neither too tight nor too loose, suitable for a wide range of body types.
How should I care for this wool suit?
Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method for cleaning this suit. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Can this suit be worn in warmer weather?
While virgin wool is breathable, this suit is best suited for moderate to cooler temperatures. The half lining adds some warmth. For very warm weather, lighter fabrics might be more comfortable.
What occasions is this double-breasted suit appropriate for?
This suit is highly versatile. It is appropriate for formal business environments, important meetings, weddings, galas, and other sophisticated events. It can also be dressed down for stylish everyday wear.
What does 'AMF stitching' mean?
AMF stitching refers to a machine-sewn stitch that mimics the look of handmade stitching, often found along suit lapels and edges. It provides a clean, defined finish.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the suit features functional patch pockets on the lower part of the jacket and a barchetta chest pocket. These are designed for practical use, though it's advisable not to overstuff them to maintain the suit's shape.
Troubleshooting
Suit appears wrinkled after wear or travel.
Hang the suit in a steamy bathroom for an hour or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth. For persistent wrinkles, professional steaming is recommended.
Fit is slightly off (e.g., sleeves too long, waist too loose).
Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The regular fit is designed to be adaptable to individual body types.
Fabric shows signs of pilling or wear.
Reduce the frequency of wear to allow the wool fibers to rest. Gentle brushing can help manage minor pilling. Ensure professional dry cleaning is used, as home washing can exacerbate wear.
Lining feels restrictive.
The half-lining is designed for ease of movement. If it still feels restrictive, consult a tailor regarding potential fit adjustments or consider if the garment's overall size is correct for your frame.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended to maintain the integrity and appearance of the virgin wool.
- Storage: Hang the suit on a wide, padded hanger to preserve the shoulder shape. Store in a breathable garment bag to protect from dust and light.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat on the wool fabric. Steaming is often a safer alternative for removing minor wrinkles.
- Maintenance: Brush the suit occasionally with a soft garment brush to remove surface dust and lint.
