Beyond Linen: Our Complete Fabric Range from Europe's Finest Mills

The name is LinenSuit.shop. But we don't only make linen suits.

This is the most common misconception. The name points to our heritage—the Sicily Collection, Italian linen crafted in Bangkok—but our fabric library extends far beyond.

Italian linen. Premium wool. Egyptian cotton. Cashmere blends.

Every fabric sourced from the same European mills that supply Savile Row, Brioni, and Kiton.

Same origin. Same quality. Bangkok pricing. Worldwide shipping included.


Why the Name "LinenSuit.shop"?

Linen is where we started. The Sicily Collection—240gsm Italian twill linen from CAVANI—became our signature. Lightweight, breathable, perfect for tropical climates and destination weddings.

But custom tailoring isn't limited to one fabric. Our clients need wool suits for boardrooms, cotton blazers for versatility, cashmere blends for winter warmth.

The name stayed. The range expanded.


Who Are Our Fabric Partners?

We don't manufacture fabric. We source from the same mills that supply $3,000+ tailors.

CAVANI (Italy) - Our Signature Partner

Sicily Collection: 240gsm Italian twill linen

This is our foundation. CAVANI's premium linen defines our brand—breathable, durable, perfect for 25-35°C climates. Not the cheap $199 Bangkok street linen. Curated Italian quality built for durability and flexibility.

Same Mills, Transparent Pricing

Savile Row Suit (VBC Super 130s wool): $3,000-5,000

Worldwide shipping included in all prices.

Same European fabrics. Same hand-stitched construction. Same draft fitting process.

The difference? Bangkok's cost structure and no retail markup. You're paying for premium materials and master craftsmanship—not Mayfair rent or mass-market shortcuts.

We don't offer cheap $199 Bangkok street fabrics. Every fabric is curated for durability, flexibility, and lifetime value.


Our Fabric Philosophy

1. Partner with the best mills

CAVANI for linen. DRAGO and VBC for wool. John & Taylor for heritage tweed. No "Italian-style" imitations. Actual European mills.

2. Curate for purpose

Every fabric serves a real need. No exotic options that only work once a year.

3. Educate, don't upsell

Super 150s wool isn't always better than Super 110s. Finer = softer, but less durable for daily wear. We help you choose what actually fits your life.

4. Price honestly

$590-800 includes worldwide shipping. No hidden costs. No retail markup games.
