When customers shop for custom suits, one of the most common questions is: Should I choose 100% wool or a wool blend? The price difference is significant—but what’s behind it?
1. Comfort
- 100% Wool (Super 120s–150s): Soft, breathable, and adapts to different climates. Even in summer, it doesn’t feel stuffy. Wrinkles naturally recover.
 - Wool-Polyester Blend (50/50): More rigid and durable, but less breathable, making it warmer in hot weather.
 
2. Appearance
- Pure Wool: Natural luster, deep color, elegant under natural light—looks premium.
 - Blends: Less vibrant shine, colors look flatter, and photos may not capture the same richness.
 
3. Durability
- Pure Wool: Requires careful maintenance, sensitive to friction and water.
 - Blends: More resistant, wrinkle-proof, better for daily commutes.
 
4. Price Range
- Wool Suits: $400–$900 per suit
 - Blended Suits: $200–$400 per suit
 
✅ Conclusion:
- For daily commuters or budget-conscious buyers → Blended suits are more practical.
 - For executives and men who often attend formal events → Invest in pure wool suits for a superior look.
