The lining of a suit is akin to the interior of a luxury car; it's the part that comes into direct contact with the wearer's skin. Although it's not visible from the outside, it plays a crucial role in the overall wearing experience!
Four Main Functions of Suit Linings
1. Protecting Suit Structure
The suit has a wool interlining between the outer fabric and the lining. Without the lining, the inner structure can easily be damaged, protecting the suit and reducing the risk of it losing shape.
2. Anti-Static
Most suits are made from wool fabrics, which can easily generate static electricity. Inferior suit materials often use synthetic fibers, exacerbating static issues, leading to discomfort akin to the crackling of firecrackers when worn.
3. Smooth and Comfortable Wear
Direct contact between the skin and the suit's outer fabric or seams can be uncomfortable. A smooth lining enhances the ease of putting on and taking off the suit, making the experience much more comfortable.
4. Breathability and Coolness
Wool fabrics used in suits are breathable, but if the lining is made from non-breathable synthetic fibers like polyester, even the best cooling wool won't provide a refreshing feeling. Instead, it can trap heat, leading to discomfort.
Therefore, choosing a good lining is crucial!
The widely recognized best lining today—Bemberg™
Asahi Kasei is the sole producer of Cupro, derived from cotton linters—soft fibers that envelop cotton seeds and are typically unused in fiber production. These fibers undergo special refining and dissolving processes to become pure regenerated fibers, boasting environmentally friendly biodegradable properties.
Bemberg™ can absorb moisture from the skin and release it into the air, helping to reduce stickiness and discomfort while maintaining a refreshing feel. Its luxurious smooth texture is also anti-static, making it the lining of choice for many high-end fashion brands.
Leader Tailor × GraphenePower introduces the first graphene-lined suit.
Using a patented dyeing formula licensed from a leading graphene manufacturer, graphene is printed onto the Bemberg™ surface. Tests show that when graphene comes into contact with heat sources, it efficiently transfers heat from high to low temperatures, maintaining effective circulation. This excellent heat dispersion can absorb surface heat and surrounding latent heat, enabling quick drying and an instant cooling effect. Additionally, graphene emits far-infrared wavelengths that can be absorbed by the body, adsorbs gaseous odors, and its anti-static properties prevent dust accumulation, reducing bacterial growth—acting like an invisible shield.
The graphene patented dyeing formula developed by a Taiwanese manufacturer was awarded the "2021 Taiwan Excellence Award." As a Taiwanese company, they continuously invest efforts into environmentally friendly production processes. This commitment has also been recognized this year with the "2nd Green Chemistry Application and Innovation Award." While enjoying the conveniences brought by technology, we should remain humble in our treatment of the environment.
