What is worsted wool?Updated 5 months ago

Worsted wool is the most common fabric used in the manufacturer of tuxedos. Worsted preparation refers to the way the fiber is prepared before spinning, using gilling machines which force the fiber staples to lie parallel to each other. Once these fibers have been made into a top, they are then combed to remove the short fibers. The long fibers are combined in subsequent gilling machines to again make the fibers parallel.

Worsted fabric made from wool has a natural recovery, meaning that it is resilient and quickly returns to its natural shape. In Tropical Worsteds this use of tightly-spun straightened wool combined with a looser weave permits the free flow of air through the fabric.

*If you are looking for a lighter weight wool, try tuxedos made from Super 100's or higher.
