twist

[Concordia]

I just got a suit last winter from the Dorchester collection. It is a good cool-weather suit, and a tad less "sharp" than, say, the Lesser 13oz. Like those worsteds, however, it is a pretty tight weave and very low-stretch.

Concordia,

May i ask what you mean by "sharp"? I have a Lesser 13 oz. suit (ref #: 29792) and find it quite light and soft, but might not, in my ignorance, be referring to the same thing. As to the Dorchester, it is, in part, its "tightness" and "solid" feeling that directed my selection.
I fear I need to learn the proper terminology for cloth. This is not unlike wine tasting, where notions foreign to taste or smell are used to describe precisely those.

Best regards,

Lesser standard fabrics look very urban, very severe, very businesslike. Not the sort of suits one thinks of relaxing in, unless perhaps they are very well broken in.

The Dorchester material feels the same way on the body as Lesser, to me anyway, but looks altogether more relaxed in pictures. Slightly less crisp colors, tight patterns, etc.

I think I understand. Thank you for your explanation.

Kind regards,
