Fresco vs Linen
I’m looking at two suit options for summer weddings. A brown 310 gsm fresco and a tobacco 460 gsm linen. I’d like to optimize for drape and beauty of movement. Anyone have any pros and cons they’d suggest keeping aware of?

fresco very crisp and does not have much movement to it, at least in the way a substantial wool would. The heavier linen would probably give you that a bit better
Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by “crisp”?
Are there other materials I should look at if that’s my objective?
light and rigid, like a sheet of paper
it wears cool and is a great summer fabric, but doesn't sound like what you want
but tbh might just be the stuff i've encountered, i just googled and there looks to be some good drape on dif frescos
