Fabric in focus - Bamboo
This luxurious cloth combines a superior level of comfort and softness with excellent durability, to make it a popular choice for bespoke business and wedding suits alike.
We look at why bamboo is a great choice of fabric for your next bespoke-made garment:
Softness and comfort:
First and foremost, bamboo clothing is known for its softness and smooth texture. When you put on a bamboo garment, it feels silky and gentle against your skin, almost like you're wearing a second skin.
Bamboo fibres are naturally round and smooth, which means they don't have the rough and scratchy texture that some other natural fibres can have. Also, the fibres are very fine, which means that bamboo fabric feels silky and smooth to the touch, making it extremely comfortable to wear.
Naturally hypoallergenic:
Bamboo fabric is also naturally hypoallergenic, which means it's gentle on sensitive skin and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. This is because bamboo fibres don't have any sharp spurs or irritants that can be found in other natural fibres, such as wool or linen.
Colours to suit:
Bamboo cloth is available in range of delicate and strong plains as well as softer checks to suit any look.
The most popular colours with our clients are the blue hues as well as the warmer tones; including colour of the year - digital lavender.
Durable:
Bamboo clothing is also known for its durability. The fibres are naturally strong and can withstand regular wear and tear without losing its shape or quality. This means that a bamboo suit or dress can last you for many years, making it a great investment piece for your wardrobe.
Plant based:
Bamboo fabric is considered a vegan option because it is derived entirely from plant fibres and does not involve the use of animal products. In addition, the production of bamboo fabric does not require any animal by-products, such as beeswax or lanolin, which may be used in the production of some other fabrics.
Breathable:
Bamboo is a highly breathable material that allows air to circulate, helping to regulate body temperature, making it a good choice for summer suits. Bamboo fibres are highly absorbent and have natural moisture-wicking properties that help to keep the skin dry and cool.
As you can see, many of our clients love their bamboo suits. If you’re inspired to use bamboo in your next bespoke garment, please do get in touch.
