Business Travel Suits Guide
Looking your best - Hassle free and worry free travel
The Situation - Business Travel
When travelling business is of the order there are three considerations that top the list whilst packing. Firstly, to not have to worry about the suits and shirts that will crease and wrinkle at every step of your journey, so you can concentrate on the business trip itself. Secondly, to be able to dress for the right weather and temperature. Lastly, do the suits and shirts showcase yourself in the confident position you wish to present.
There’s little value in picking out a suit if it doesn’t flatter you upon your arrival. Unfortunately however, as many will testify, travel leads to creasing of suits. Whether these wrinkles and creases are inflicted by wearing the suit through aeroplanes, taxis and trains on your journey, or whether they are caused by the folding and packing process to carry a suit in your luggage, the effect is the same.
The Solution - The Fabric and Cut
Whilst there are a number of fabrics that are recognised to responding well to the kind of creasing and folding due to travel; wool stands out as it has the properties for both warmth and cooling, as a breathable fibre and so it creates the same properties once its turned to fabric and then our garments. Studies have shown that wool strands can be bent over 20,000 times without breaking. This means it holds its original shape and form better, returning more easily to its original state after its been creased. Wool in a very close weave like our worsted wool in particular benefits from this quality. Wool fibres will respond in this way, because of the organic elasticity of wool due to its natural crimp, it responds and recovers to creasing and folding more favourably.
Our travel suits are made using a high twist two fold worsted Merino wool. This has a very high density of weave, and the more tightly woven the fabric, the better it can resist creasing, and our business travel shirts are made of high twist long staple cotton, to permit lightness and reduce wrinkles significantly.
Our Travel Suits
With our ideal fabrics, you can have your own bespoke travel suit to resolve all your creasing issues. Our worsted wool has a high density strands and is more tightly woven than many woollen fabrics. It responds effectively to folding by holding its shape and finish, leaving a crease free appearance after travel. This is constructed from wool from Merino sheep, a speciality of our Yorkshire Mills.
