Glitz Super 160’s Merino Wool by Mare & Monti — Medium Slate Grey Hopsack / Micro-weave Texture

Medium Slate Grey Hopsack / Micro-weave Texture Glitz Super 160’s Merino Wool by Mare & Monti is a wool suiting fabric from our library, sold by the metre for bespoke and made-to-measure orders at ฿7,999 per metre.

Mare & Monti’s Glitz collection uses Super 160’s merino wool — an even finer yarn than 150’s suiting — woven with a subtle sheen that catches light differently depending on the angle, giving the finished garment quiet depth rather than an obviously glossy finish. It reads as refined rather than flashy in normal indoor lighting.

Merino wool at this fineness offers an exceptionally soft hand-feel while still holding structure well, making it suitable for both a sharply tailored business suit and more formal evening wear where the subtle sheen adds appropriate polish without tipping into costume territory.

The fine yarn construction presses cleanly and resists creasing better than heavier, coarser wools, though it rewards proper canvas construction over fused interlining to make the most of its natural drape.

Mare & Monti’s finishing process is part of what gives this cloth its particular depth — the sheen is woven in rather than applied as a surface treatment, meaning it doesn’t fade or dull with dry-cleaning the way some treated finishes eventually do.

Because the sheen reads differently under different lighting, it’s worth viewing a swatch under both daylight and the kind of indoor lighting your suit will most often be worn in, rather than relying on how it looks under a single light source in the shop.

This cloth is particularly well suited to evening events, formal business settings, and any occasion where a suit needs to read as elevated under artificial lighting.
