The meaning of "super 100's" to "super 200's!"

Is there an objective way to compare the quality of manufacturing a bespoke suit fabric? ... Maybe-The meaning of the apostrophe s ('s) or "Super s ..."That means factories fine wool 100% woolor wool blends with superior wool and alpaca, angora, cashmere, vicuna ...- The meaning of "100" in "Super 100's"The figure after the word Super and before the apostrophe 'S' represents the fineness of the fabric.One could imagine that this figure represents the number of fibers (hair sheep) that are woven into one square centimeter (cm2). So, the larger the diameter of the fiber is, the smaller the fiber is fine and there are wool fibers in a square inch of fabric. In any case this is how we could imagine.In fact, although this is not fake, it's a little less obvious:this measurement or rating is determined by the IWTO (International Wool Textile Organization: "International Organization textile and wool").The diameter of each fiber of wool 80s must measure up to 19.75 microns;19.25 micron for the 90s;18.75 for the 100s etc ...Then just remove all 0.5 microns to reach the 10s ... 210s wool whose fibers are finer than 13.25 microns!Recall that a micron or micrometer (microns) is 10 ^ -6 m = 0, m = 0 000 001 001 mm.The fiber diameter of wool 210s so far less than 0.01325 millimeter!Suddenly, a Super 100's wool is thicker than Super 120's;and Super 160's wool finer than wool super 140's.In what wool is made my costume?Generally, on a 100% wool suit, if nothing is specified, the fabric is definitely super 80 or super 90.Generally, all the costumes ready to wear (PAP), which offer the finest wools distinguished by a label inside the jacket.Fine wool fine wool OR: pros and cons!
