Most men misunderstand this about their suit

The biggest misconception in menswear is that a higher Super number means a better suit. Most men are taught to chase Super 150s and Super 180s because they sound luxurious. But the “S” number simply measures wool fibre diameter and the higher the number, the finer and more fragile the cloth becomes. For a daily tailored wardrobe, durability matters more than vanity metrics. Super 100s to Super 130s offer the ideal balance of softness, structure, crease retention, and longevity. It’s why mills like Vitale Barberis Canonico continue to produce some of the best practical suiting fabrics in that range. Above Super 150s, the fabric often becomes a status object rather than a true workhorse. Follow for more videos on men’s style.
