Which fabric is 100% wool, spun, with an even-sided twill weave, fiber dyed, and used for suits?

• A. Houndstooth Suiting
• B. Surah
• C. Serge
• D. Denim

Answer: (A)

A wool suiting fabric woven with a twill structure and dyed yarns is a classic choice for suits, and the pattern comes from yarn-dyed fibers, not prints. Houndstooth Suiting matches all these details: it’s typically 100% wool, made from spun wool yarns that are fiber-dyed, and woven in an even-sided twill that produces the two-tone houndstooth pattern. This combination—wool, yarn-dyed two-tone pattern, and a twill weave suited for tailored garments—makes it a staple for suits. Surah tends to be a lighter, crisper fabric not specifically a wool suiting weight and isn’t defined by a suit-ready twill pattern. Serge is a solid-color twill used for many suits but usually lacks the distinct pattern and fiber-dyed two-tone look of houndstooth. Denim is a cotton twill and not wool, so it doesn’t fit the wool or suit criteria.
