I have searched through many results, but have not found an answer to my question. So, I thought I would start my own thread.
Suits today are very thin and flimsy, and are classified with the Super System. They have higher thread counts, thus making them lightweight. Most suits I see off-the-rack today are Super 120 to Super 150. But what do these numbers translate to in ounces, the traditional unit of wool weight measurement? If a suit is labeled as Super 120, does that translate to about 8 oz? From what I have gathered, anywhere from 11 to 16 oz is a good weight for suits that can be worn year-round. Is there a way of determining a suit's weight in ounces, given its Super Weight?
