Hi guys, Im interested in making my own suit. KOTMJ gave a few pointers and naturally i followed the lead. Sorry for being ignorant but would a super 120's wool be more comfortable or wool mix with kid mohair? Currently im thinking of either this: 100% Super 120KID-MOHAIR-WOOL-SUITINGAlso the reason why im picking only black is simply because of my profession and it being my first suit made. I will definitely have others made in the future. last question, would 3.2 meters suffice for a height of 173cm? or better to get 3.5m? Thanks

lol, definitely not. Im a litigation lawyer and it being my first suit..i would like to get a general day to day suit done, hence black. Maybe dark grey would be ok as well.

I Lol at that wiki article. I have seen QCs before, i doubt its a compulsory court attire to wear grey striped trousers.
Anyway i digress. Back to my question please? Would a super 120's wool be more comfortable or wool mix with kid mohair? Any of the materials shown in my above post any good?

Thanks for the clarification, kotmj. Appreciate it.
Hmmph, i think i will go for the mohair as walking around in a black suit in the hot afternoon malaysian sun is pretty shitty..
Guess i will get the 70% WOOL/30 % SUMMER KID MOHAIR fabric.
silk lining would be the best choice right? Also would 3.2 metres be adequate for for a height of 173cm? Thanks
