MTM Suit Loro Piana Wool-silk-linen (6082)
The design in the picture is for inspiration only. You, of course, have 100% control over how your suit should be designed, whether it's double-breasted, single-breasted, with a 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 uniform weaving/finish.
This typically means: a beautiful 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
-
Typical fiber composition: 46% wool, 6% silk, 48% linen
-
Characteristics:
-
Medium-weight fabric, around 250–270 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 need to be elegant but also comfortable in warm weather.
-
✅ Strengths: Very versatile summer balance, nice drape, and very breathable with its light and open weave.
⚠️ Drawbacks: Linen wrinkles a bit, silk makes the fabric more delicate.
🧠 When to choose this fabric
-
If you want elegance + a luxurious finish without going for a full silk look.
-
Perfect for blazers and lightweight suits, where the silhouette needs to 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 gear, and offices in warm climates.
-
It feels a bit more business casual, as linen comes through.
💡 Practical weight and application advice
-
250–280 g/m: Ideal for spring/summer use in mixed fibers
-
Light weave
-
Mid-to-open weave: More air, but also more texture and slightly less formal — typically what "Summertime" represents.
