Material specs?

[Howitzer]

I've just been measured for a suit here in Pakistan.

They asked me various questions about materials, style etc so after mumbling through most of it I chose my material based on the finger test.

The material I chose was 150 wool, any idea what this means?

It was the softest, nicest feeling basically.

Not sure, but sounds like you've just bought a pair of jim-jams!!

Maybe that was why I had to choose the bauballs for my hat

150 count wool cloth is good. The higher the number, the finer the yarn used to make it & usually more lightweight garment.

Ultimately you performed a good test & that was how it felt (known as the "handle"). As long as the sample wasn't treated to make it feel softer than it really is but that isn't that common.

Excellent!

Thanks for that, much appreciated, it's a weight off my mind as I really had no clue what I was looking at haha.
