Mohair suits

You can choose a Mohair Suit from any designer range of mohair fabrics that we offer. Those who do choose a mohair suit will find that it is both durable and resistant, while being famous for its high luster and sheen. Mohair suits made from mohair are a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat. Mohair is made of mostly keratin, which is a protein found in wool of most mammals. However Mohair Suits do not feel like wool suits. It is typically 25-40 microns in diameter, and thus is considered to be a luxury material, much like cashmere Angora and Silk. The diameter of the fiber increases as the animal ages, and so you will often find that finer suits are made from the shorn hair of the younger goat, while coats and other outerwear will be made from the thicker mohair of older Angora goats. At Tailor Made we have a large range of Mohair fabrics, from designers such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Cerruti and Loro Piana.

Tailor Made London also offers materials which are a combination of Mohair and another material. Mohair suits, jackets and trousers are becoming more popular and are very contemporary. Mohair suits are ideal for lightweight purposes. Despite this fact, mohair is very warm as it has good insulating properties. Mohair suits are better than linen suits because they crease less and they also are stretch and flame resistant.
