Choosing the Perfect Material for Your Tailored Garment
At Atelier Acàn, we believe that the essence of every beautifully tailored piece begins with the fabric. As tailors rooted in the heart of Ghent and Antwerp, we’ve honed our craft to create timeless garments that reflect both individuality and style. But while design and fit play a crucial role, the fabric is the soul of the garment.
Why Fabric Matters
The fabric you choose dictates how a piece will feel, drape, and even age over time. Whether you're looking for a lightweight summer suit, a cozy winter coat, or a dress that will carry you through a special event, selecting the right material is essential.
The Versatility of Wool
For those seeking year-round comfort, wool remains a classic choice. Its breathability, natural insulation, and wrinkle resistance make it ideal for tailored suits, blazers, and coats. Whether you’re opting for lightweight merino wool or a more robust tweed, wool adapts beautifully to various climates and occasions.
Cotton: A Breath of Fresh Air
If you lean towards a more casual yet polished look, cotton is your go-to fabric. Soft, breathable, and available in a variety of finishes, cotton suits, and shirts offer both comfort and versatility. At Atelier Acàn, we especially recommend cotton for those looking for a crisp, clean aesthetic.
Luxurious Linen for Summer
Linen, with its natural texture and lightweight feel, is the perfect fabric for summer garments. Though it has a reputation for wrinkling easily, this gives linen its unique charm—a relaxed, effortless elegance that’s perfect for warm-weather outfits.
Sustainability in Fabrics
Atelier Acàn is also committed to sustainable tailoring. We offer a selection of eco-friendly fabrics, including organic cotton, recycled wool, and innovative plant-based materials, ensuring that your garment not only looks and feels good but is kind to the planet too.
