Mohair suit is known for its fabric and the reflection of the light by the fabric is unique to its texture. Mohair is shorn from the Angora goat without harming the mammal. History dates back to 18th century when fabric is exported to England from Turkey. 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. The Angora goat obliges with its hair, producing a stiff, silk-like fabric that is cool enough for the summer, warm enough for the autumnal transition. It is also more boardroom-friendly than linen as it doesn’t crease or stretch and has a high lustre. Rarer than any other summer fabric, mohair is comparatively more expensive than linen and ranks alongside cashmere and silk as a ‘luxury’ material; don’t expect to find it in cheap high street suits or fashion shops. Good made-to-measure and bespoke tailors will have swatch books of mohair in a variety of colours and quality – younger goats are thought to make a superior yarn – and will provide the necessary standard of manufacture and fit. Mohair is valued for certain unique characteristics: it is warmer than other fibers, even when used to make a light-weight garment, and is often blended with wool for this reason; and mohair fibers have a distinctive luster created by the way they reflect light. Combined with mohair's ability to absorb dyes exceptionally well, pure mohair yarns are usually recognizable for their vivid saturated colours. Suitusa provides a wide collection of quality Mohair suits made from a range of Mohair fabrics. 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.
