BROCADES
Famous for our individual look and known for our point of difference is our famous brocades. We specialise in a wide variety of all types of brocades.
Our brocades vary in weight and thickness. It is a fancy material with a raised textured pattern. It is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in coloured silks. Some of our brocades may come with or without gold and silver threads.
WOOL
Wool is the most popular fabric choice in suiting and jackets due to its versatility and refined aesthetics. Common wool types include tweed, flannel,cashmere, merino and worsted. The style and drape of the garments always look best with 100% wool. Wool will drape naturally and mould to your body over time. However, 100% wool suit might be too warm to be worn in the summer.
COTTON
Cotton fabrics suits all body types and those wanting a semi formal look to outdoor events. It is a popular choice if you like natural fibres. Linen and cotton fabrics are breathable, lightweight, natural and stylish. Sports jackets and blazers can be made from cotton to give a more casual look. Similar to linen in that it creases and keeps you cooler in the summer.
LINEN
Linen fabric is super lightweight and maintains its coolness in soaring temperatures. It is the nature of this fabric to wrinkle and stretch easily. Dark blue or grey linen suits in 100% linen or linen blend with cotton or wool is a great option if you are having a formal occassion during summer. A blend of linen is preferrable during hot seasons as the fabric crease is less. Linen absorbs persperation, allowing skin to breath, hence why it is perfect for summer climates.
