Pilling:
Pilling is a common occurrence in quality suits, typically crafted from animal hairs such as sheep’s wool. Similar to our own hair, natural fibers are prone to breakage. Pilling often manifests in high-friction areas like thighs, underarms, or elbows. Unusual spots, like the outside of the right thigh, are not exempt—commonly observed in professions like real estate due to car door rubbing. Proactively minimize damage with ‘silk saddles’ for thighs, underarm guards, or elbow patches. For existing pilling, consider a temporary fix using a safety razor. This underscores the importance of considering preventive measures when investing in your next garment.
