Raymond Super 100s is ₹4,410 a metre, Super 120s ₹6,290, Super 140s ₹8,110 to ₹14,999 (GST included). The number is fineness, not quality — here is what each actually buys you.
Look at the edge of a good suit length and you will see "Super 100s", "Super 120s" or "Super 140s" woven into it. Most buyers assume a bigger number is simply better. It is finer, which is not the same thing.
What the Super number measures
It measures how fine the wool fibre is. The finer the fibre, the higher the number, and the softer and smoother the cloth. The wool trade fixes each number to a fibre thickness in microns (a micron is one-thousandth of a millimetre):
| Super number | Wool fibre thickness (up to) |
|---|---|
| Super 100s | 18.75 microns |
| Super 110s | 18.25 microns |
| Super 120s | 17.75 microns |
| Super 130s | 17.25 microns |
| Super 140s | 16.75 microns |
| Super 150s | 16.25 microns |
Each step of ten is half a micron finer. It is a measure of fineness only. It does not tell you how long the suit will last.
How it changes the cloth
- Super 70s to 100s — sturdier and more forgiving. Right for the office and for travel, where a suit is worn every week.
- Super 120s — noticeably softer with a cleaner drape, and still practical for regular wear. The safest choice for most men.
- Super 130s and 140s — fine and soft with a gentle sheen. Best for occasions, because finer wool asks for more care.
- Super 150s — the finest we keep. A special-occasion cloth.
Questions we hear every day
Super 120s ka matlab kya hai?
The wool fibre in the cloth is no thicker than 17.75 microns. In the hand that means soft, smooth and a good fall.
Super 100s ya 120s, kaun sa better hai?
For a suit worn every week, Super 100s. For a wedding or a first good suit, Super 120s.
Does a higher Super number last longer?
No. Finer wool is softer, not stronger. A Super 100s takes daily wear better than a Super 140s.
Is Super 140s right for daily office wear?
You can, but it is better kept for occasions. Rotate it and hang it between wears.
Which Super number for a wedding suit?
Super 120s for the groom's family and guests. Super 140s if it is the one suit that must stand out at the reception.
