The content of the fabric can consist of wool, silk, mohair, cashmere, camel hair, bamboo, stretch / man-made or any combination of the above.
The weave of the fabric can consist of a criss-cross pattern or tropical weave. A diagonal pattern or twill. These different types of weaves really determine the look and wearability of the fabric.
The ounce weight of the fabric is important to match the climate and time of year the suit will be worn.
Lombardo Custom Apparel only uses thread counts above 100, and can go up as high as over 200. The thread count is the threads per square inch and technology has enabled finer thread counts like never before.
The finish is what the fabric feels like at the end of the process. It can be a hard, shiny finish or a soft dull finish or anything in between.

The world’s finest fabric mills are in Europe and are many generations old. Major mills include Dormeuil, Loro Piana, Reda, Marzoni as well as exclusive boutique mills, like Luigi Botto.

Fabrics are dyed to a specific color or color combination. The advanced technology has led to almost every shade of the color imaginable and when blended with the right fabric content can produce numerous desired looks from winter drab to vibrant pastels.
