To sew this blazer, choose suiting fabrics with the following properties: medium weight, pliable, structured, plain colored or mélange, opaque, non-stretch or with little stretch. The fiber content can include:

natural fibers (with or without elastane): wool + elastane

blends (containing synthetic and/or artificial fibers): wool + polyester, viscose + polyester + elastane

synthetics: polyester.

The blazer in the photos is made of suiting fabric. The fiber content is a blend of polyester, cotton, wool, and spandex. This fabric is medium weight, pliable, structured, opaque, has little stretch, and creases a little.

Attention! We do not recommend:

stretchy fabrics (knits)

lightweight and sheer fabrics (chiffon, silk).

For the lining, choose fabrics made of viscose, viscose + polyester, or viscose + elastane. The lining fabric should be opaque, slippery, and pleasant to the touch.
