FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIGITAL PATTERN 6020

Opt for traditional tailored fabrics to maintain crisp structure and long wear:

Wool or wool-blend suiting (plain, herringbone, or subtle plaid)
Semi-structured coatings (gabardine, tweed, or melton)
Tonal lining fabric for inside finishing
Optional shoulder pads for extra form

Avoid fluid or drapey fabrics, which will not support the construction.
