Loro Piana: The Pinnacle of Luxury Fabrics at TS Custom Suits
Share
A Legacy of Excellence: Six Generations of Perfection
The Loro Piana story begins in 1924 in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, where Pietro Loro Piana established a wool trading business built on one unwavering principle: source only the finest fibers in the world, regardless of cost or difficulty. This commitment wasn't merely a business strategy—it was a passion that would define the company for generations to come.
What started as a textile merchant evolved into one of the most prestigious fabric mills in existence. Today, six generations later, Loro Piana remains family-owned and continues to set the global standard for luxury fabrics. Their obsessive pursuit of the world's rarest and finest fibers has taken them to the most remote corners of the planet, from the Mongolian steppes where they source exceptional cashmere to the Peruvian Andes where they work with indigenous communities to obtain the world's rarest vicuña fiber.
This dedication to sourcing excellence resonates deeply with our philosophy at TS Custom Suits. Just as Loro Piana refuses to compromise on fiber quality, we refuse to compromise on any aspect of our bespoke tailoring process. When these two commitments to perfection meet, the result is truly extraordinary.
The Loro Piana Difference: Why These Fabrics Are Unmatched
Mastery of the World's Finest Fibers
Loro Piana's reputation is built on their unparalleled access to and expertise with the world's most exceptional natural fibers:
Cashmere Supremacy - Loro Piana is the world's largest buyer of the finest cashmere, sourcing exclusively from inner Mongolia and northern China where goats produce the longest, softest fibers. Their buyers personally inspect and select only the top 0.1% of available cashmere, choosing fibers that measure between 14.5 and 15.5 microns in diameter—extraordinarily fine compared to standard cashmere's 19+ microns. When you wear a Loro Piana cashmere suit from TS Custom Suits, you're experiencing the softest, most luxurious cashmere in the world.
Vicuña: The Rarest Fiber on Earth - Loro Piana is one of the few mills authorized to work with vicuña, the incredibly rare fiber from a protected South American camelid. Softer than cashmere and rarer than gold, vicuña produces a fabric of incomparable luxury. Loro Piana works directly with Peruvian communities, ensuring ethical and sustainable harvesting while creating fabrics that represent the absolute pinnacle of textile excellence.
Super 150s and Beyond - When it comes to wool, Loro Piana specializes in superfine merino that starts at Super 150s and extends to Super 200s and even finer. These designations refer to the fiber's fineness—the higher the number, the finer and more luxurious the fabric. The result is wool that drapes like silk, feels impossibly soft, and creates a refined appearance that's immediately recognizable to those who appreciate quality.
Vertical Integration: Control from Fiber to Fabric
What truly sets Loro Piana apart is their complete vertical integration. They don't simply purchase fibers and weave them—they control every step of the process. Loro Piana owns facilities for washing, combing, spinning, dyeing, and weaving, ensuring that quality standards are maintained at every stage. This level of control is exceptionally rare in textile manufacturing and results in fabrics of unmatched consistency and excellence.
When our master tailors at TS Custom Suits work with Loro Piana fabrics, we can trust that every meter meets the same exacting standards. This consistency is crucial for creating bespoke suits that look and perform exactly as our clients expect.
Innovation Rooted in Tradition
While Loro Piana honors traditional Italian textile craftsmanship, they continually innovate to create fabrics that meet modern demands. Their research and development has produced remarkable collections:
Four Seasons - A versatile wool fabric that performs beautifully year-round, combining breathability for warm weather with insulating properties for cooler temperatures. This innovation makes it possible to have a suit that truly works 365 days a year.
Rain System - Loro Piana's water-resistant fabrics maintain the natural look and feel of traditional wool while offering protection from the elements. These fabrics prove that performance and luxury can coexist beautifully.
Zelander - Made from New Zealand wool with exceptional resilience and wrinkle resistance, Zelander fabrics are perfect for the traveling executive who demands sharp appearance without constant maintenance.
Summertime - Ultra-lightweight fabrics designed for warm climates, these weaves offer breathability and comfort while maintaining the structure necessary for tailored garments.
The Loro Piana Experience in Your Wardrobe
When you choose a bespoke suit from TS Custom Suits featuring Loro Piana fabric, you're not simply purchasing clothing—you're investing in an experience that will elevate every moment you wear it.
Unparalleled Softness
The first thing you'll notice about Loro Piana fabrics is their extraordinary hand-feel. These fabrics don't just look luxurious—they feel like nothing else. The superfine fibers create a softness that's immediately apparent, whether you're wearing a cashmere blend for cool evenings or a Super 150s wool for business meetings. This softness doesn't come at the expense of durability—Loro Piana fabrics are engineered to maintain their luxurious feel through years of wear.
Natural Temperature Regulation
Loro Piana's expertise in natural fibers means their fabrics work with your body, not against it. Natural wool and cashmere fibers are hygroscopic—they absorb moisture and release it gradually, keeping you comfortable regardless of temperature fluctuations. A Loro Piana suit adapts to your environment, whether you're moving from air-conditioned offices to warm outdoor settings or navigating the temperature changes of international travel.
Distinctive Drape and Movement
The fineness of Loro Piana fibers creates a fabric that drapes beautifully on the body. When our tailors construct a suit from these materials, the fabric naturally wants to hang properly, creating clean lines and elegant silhouettes. This quality is essential for achieving the refined appearance that defines exceptional tailoring. The fabric moves with you naturally, never feeling stiff or constraining, allowing you to move with confidence and comfort.
Colors That Capture Light
Loro Piana's dyeing expertise produces colors of remarkable depth and complexity. Their color palette ranges from classic business tones—navy, charcoal, and gray in various depths—to sophisticated seasonal colors that add personality without sacrificing versatility. The superfine fibers take dye beautifully, resulting in colors that appear rich and dimensional rather than flat. Under natural light, a Loro Piana fabric reveals subtle variations and depth that cheaper fabrics simply cannot achieve.

The Perfect Canvas for Bespoke Tailoring
Loro Piana fabrics respond beautifully to traditional hand-tailoring techniques. The fine fibers hold shape during construction, accept hand-stitching cleanly, and drape naturally on the body. For our master tailors, working with Loro Piana is a pleasure—the fabric cooperates with our techniques rather than fighting them, allowing us to achieve the perfect fit and finish that defines true bespoke tailoring.

These fabrics are engineered for longevity, maintaining their appearance, structure, and luxurious feel through years of regular wear.

When properly cared for, a Loro Piana suit from TS Custom Suits can be part of your wardrobe for decades.
