Understanding Fabric Weight
Fabric weight is measured in grams per linear metre. Lightweight fabrics (200-260 g/m) are ideal for warm climates and year-round wear in Los Angeles. Mid-weight fabrics (260-320 g/m) are the most versatile.
Tropical Wools: The Los Angeles Choice
For the Los Angeles climate, tropical wools are the most practical choice. Mills such as Loro Piana and Scabal produce exceptional tropical wools that drape beautifully and perform well in warm weather.
Flannel: For the Cooler Months
Flannel is a soft, napped wool fabric that provides warmth and a distinctive texture. A mid-weight flannel is appropriate for Los Angeles winters. Flannel suits in charcoal or mid-grey are among the most versatile garments in a well-curated wardrobe.
Super Numbers: What They Mean
The Super number refers to the fineness of the wool fibre. For everyday wear, Super 100-120s offers an excellent balance of softness, durability, and practicality.
