SUPER 130’S, SUPER 150’S - What's the Difference

Did you know there's a method for measuring the nature of the fabric? Similarly as with wine vintages, suit texture has its own particular measure of value. You may have caught wind of Super 130's and Super 150's. 

Super indicates the fleece being new and unadulterated and the numbers compare to the thickness of the fleece strands.

When all is said in done, the higher the Super number your suit is produced using, the higher the review of texture. Be that as it may, a more profound comprehension will guarantee you pick not just a texture that looks and feels pleasant yet one that will be proper for its planned utilize.

Merino fleece suits

Genuine quality starts its excursion in a field. All the best fleece originates from fine sheep and you'll see them in Australia (particularly Tasmania) and New Zealand. Down Under, they've made fleece collecting an artistic work. Furthermore, when they started bringing in Merino sheep from Spain, the fun truly started. In the realm of bespoke men of honor's suits, a Merino-fleece suit is the Holy Grail.

In any case, where does the 'Super 100s' thought fit in? In the wake of shearing, crude fleece gets evaluated by the thickness of the normal strands. This is resolved utilizing a magnifying instrument and is measured in microns or micrometers. This is the scale that gives you the numbers trumpeted by the business staff in respectable men's suppliers. A few plants discard the "S numbers" totally and publicize the micron thickness rather, (for example, Ermenegildo Zegna).

To qualify as 100s review, crude fleece must be better than 18.5 microns. However, that is quite recently the begin. The scale takes in 110s, 120s, 130s, 140s, 150s and proceeds into the 200s, which is an exceptionally uncommon strain for sure. At 150s review, the micron tally is around 16. Very few sheep deliver fleece so fine, which pushes up the cost.
