Super 100's and 120's wool suits: understanding high-end tailoring
The Jerem Super 100s/120s Wool selection brings together the finest wools in the wardrobe: Barberis Super 110's virgin wool and Super 120's Natural stretch virgin wool. These fabrics make up the brand's premium range, recognisable by their refined handle, superior drape and an elegance you notice at first glance. A focused collection for men who put fabric quality above everything else.
What does the “Super 100's, 110's, 120's” number really mean?
The Super number measures the fineness of the wool yarn: the higher the number, the finer, softer and more refined the fibre. A Super 120's wool is noticeably softer and silkier than a Super 100's, with a more elegant drape. Wool is naturally thermoregulating: warm in winter, cool in summer, and it creases little. On the other hand, a very fine wool needs more careful care. For a ceremony or business suit, this is the number that makes the visible and tactile difference.
Why is Barberis wool a benchmark?
Barberis Canonico is one of the oldest and most prestigious Italian weavers. A Barberis Super 110's virgin wool guarantees consistent quality, durability and a finish that few generic fabrics achieve. It is a reliable marker: a suit made with Barberis relies on a serious raw material, which you can feel to the touch and over time.
“Natural stretch”: refinement without the stiffness
Jerem's Super 120's Natural stretch virgin wool combines the fineness of a premium wool with a subtle natural stretch. You keep the drape and handle of a high-end suit, with the freedom of movement of a contemporary fabric. For many men, it is the ideal balance between a demanding taste for fine fabric and the reality of a suit worn all day.
Fine wool or heavier wool: which should you choose?
A finer Super 120's wool offers a fluid drape, ideal for ceremonies and very formal settings. A slightly denser Super 100's or 110's is sturdier for regular wear and stands up better to everyday use. The choice depends on how you will wear it: the 120's for special occasions and important appearances, the 110's for long-lasting versatility.
When should you wear a fine wool suit?
Super 110's and 120's wool is the fabric for the moments that matter: weddings, ceremonies, important business events, public appearances. Its drape and handle get noticed. Choose a three-piece with a waistcoat for maximum formality, or a two-piece for a demanding office. Understated shades (navy blue, grey) maximise the versatility of these premium pieces.
How do you care for fine wool so it improves with age?
A well-cared-for Super 110's or 120's wool lasts for years and develops character: always air it after wearing, brush it gently in the direction of the fabric, dry clean it only occasionally and store it on a wide hanger in a garment bag. Avoid dry cleaning too often, which prematurely tires the fine fibre. Steaming out the creases revives the drape between wears.
