On Patterned Cloth: A Field Guide
Solid cloth is the foundation of a working wardrobe. Pattern is what a man adds once the foundation is sound. Five patterns do most of the work in tailoring — the glen check, stripes, the windowpane, the herringbone, and the birdseye. Each is built differently, each reads differently on the body, and each belongs to a particular register. The five together cover most of the patterned cloth a serious wardrobe will ever ask for.
What the Super Numbers Mean
A book of cloth opens to the same page in every showroom in the world: a small printed number, written as Super 110s, Super 130s, Super 150s, sometimes higher. It is the most cited and least understood number in tailoring. Most men read it as a quality grade. It is, more precisely, a measurement — and learning to read it is the difference between choosing cloth by its label and choosing cloth by what it will actually feel and wear like on the body.
On Cashmere: Grades, Origins, and What Quality Looks Like
Most men own a cashmere garment. Few can, on inspection, tell whether the garment they own is good cashmere or merely cashmere. The fiber has been so democratized — by the mall brands, by the e-commerce labels, by the seasonal sale racks — that the word itself has lost most of its meaning. The original meaning is recoverable. It requires a small vocabulary and a willingness to handle the cloth long enough to read it.
