Polyester as a suit inner lining
Out of curiosity to anyone here who has experiance with mens suits
is polyester ok as a inner lining of a suit? looking for a fairly affordable suit and found some nice ones for 500 AUD
Material is 100% merino wool with the inner lining being 45% viscose and 55% polyester
want a decent quality suit but dont want to break the bank completely and cant find much in my price range that has completely non polyester inner lining

Most jackets are bemberg but some use ermazine which is part viscose. Polyester might run hot but you should try it on and see.
What's your price range?
do you think i can get something reasonable for 500-600 AUD? (330-400 USD)

i have 3 cheap like $150 suits and wanna invest in 1 or 2 good strong suits
I'm not familiar with Australian brands unfortunately. In the US I would say you can get a decent suit for $500-$600 so just over your price range. There's always eBay too!
Half canvass is a good sign
Yeah alright
i dont know much about suits or clothing as a whole really
do you possibly have some pointers of what to look out for to know if a suit is good o rnot
from what i have gathered peter shearers and jacksons are the main like mid range suit brands in australia
googling it and the other half are super high bespoke places for like 2k
Fit is the most important part. But given that these are half canvass that's a good sign
Seems like they have decent reviews from users on styleforum. Can you try on in person at all?
yeah theres one not fr from here that i plan to visit in a few days
the only real doubt i had was the inner lining being half polyester half viscose
considering i hear alot of bad things about polyester suits but everywhere else i look has the same half polyester inner lining
The polyester will feel terrible in any heat
I would try it on and see if the lining makes the jacket feel hot. You can also post pictures here if you want advice on fit
