Should be wool or wool-like, appropriate in a business setting. I'm not talking about seersucker/twill/poplin

Are there any nice microfibre options on the market?

Why? Just wondering.

It might be worth taking a look at that brand -- Alain Dupetit

Well actually I was watching 2001 A Space Odyssey last night and it got me into thinking about tailored, professional clothing of the future. Then I thought it might be nice to have a suit made of high quality engineered fabrics, one which I can just chuck in the wash, and will maintain a strong pant leg crease throughout the day.

Someone correct me, but, it's not the pants on the suit and difficulty washing. Isn't it the internals (canvassing or whatever it's called) in the jacket? Doesn't that get all goofed up from the Water?

Yes...check out opposuits.com. Options for just about any setting/occasion, and you will be a leader in washable suit fashion.

Hey, that's my post! But I hadn't considered home washing the suit, when that time comes I still plan on using a commercial cleaner. For spot cleaning issues I'd presume it may be easier to clean than wool, but to be honest I've never really had issues with my wool suits in the past. But as is pretty common sense knowledge, addressing stains or spills asap saves a lot of headache later.

Thanks for the link to Roycru on "the other forum." I haven't visited Styleforum in quite some time, but perhaps it's time. I really enjoy Roycru's perspective on issues of interest to us all!

They are decent for polyester. I bought a few in interim sizes when I was losing weight. DEFINITELY worth the price.

Agreed, his posts were always fun. I miss his presence here.
