Whool, if you know how to care for it. Suits can easily last decades.
Everything made out of cotton, including bespoke shirts, is by default more or less a consummable and doesn't really enter the range of long term/valuable fashion.
- reader_mode 5y agoI think suits last decades if you wear them occasionally - but I doubt you'll get daily use out of pants without wearing them out. And having to care for things (special washing etc.) isn't really practical for most things which is why I doubt we will get this shift in trends. Maybe if we get some new revolutionary fabrics. I wonder if there was an innovation where you'd get a comfy and super durable fabric but it costs 10x of regular clothes - would people go for it.
- Bayart 5y agoThere's plenty of fabric innovation going on. Not just in techwear (where you get your high end outdoors stuff), but also in more traditional fashion. Off the top of my head I've seen the Techmerino stuff from Zegna (which fits the bill of your super fabric, including the cost), the nylon/spandex hybrid Seagale uses (don't know who makes that), the technical wool/silk/polyurethane blends from VBC (they call that line Earth, Wind and Fire).
- reader_mode 5y agoThank you for this - I will look into it.
