MTM Suit Loro Piana Wool-Silk-Linen (6076)
The design in the picture is for inspiration only; you are, of course, 100% in charge of how your suit should be designed, double-breasted, single-breasted, peak or notch lapel, pockets, etc.
Trousers can be with/without pleats, side adjusters/buckles instead of a belt, etc.
Loro Piana is known for extremely high raw material quality (fiber selection) and very consistent weaving/finish.
This typically means: good drape, clean surface, good colors, and high comfort, but also that you often pay for "perfection" and not necessarily for extra durability.
Loro Piana Summertime Wool Silk Linen Fabric
-
Fiber composition: 71% wool, 15% silk, 14% linen
-
Characteristics:
-
Medium-weight fabric, weighing 250 g/m — perfect for spring/summer.
-
Good balance between structure (wool), luster (silk), and freshness/texture (linen).
- Use: Primarily for summer suits and blazers that should be elegant but also comfortable in warm weather.
-
✅ Strengths: Very versatile summer balance, nice drape, and very breathable with its light and open weave.
⚠️ Disadvantages: Linen causes some creasing, silk makes the fabric more delicate, but since wool makes up the majority, creasing is very limited.
🧠 When to choose this fabric
-
If you desire elegance + luxury finish without going for a full silk look.
-
Perfect for blazers and light suits where the silhouette should be fluid and refined.
-
Less robust over time — better for occasions and office wear rather than daily use.
-
More versatile summer suit base: combines structure, comfort, and a light texture
-
Suitable for travel, summer events, and offices in warm climates.
-
It feels a bit more business casual, as linen is prominent.
💡 Practical weight and usage advice

Mid-to-open weave: More air, but also more texture and slightly less formal — typically what "Summertime" represents.
