The Suri alpaca is a member of the camelid family. Whilst there is only one species of Alpaca in the world, there are different fleeces, which are often referred to as breeds.
Suri alpacas are rare, even in their native South America, comprising only 2% of the world’s alpaca population. Their fleece is longer, silkier, and hangs from their bodies in long locks.
Suri Alpaca is a soft, durable, luxurious and silky natural fibre. Whilst similar to sheep's wool, it is warmer, softer, and has no lanolin - which makes it hypoallergenic.
The Joe Bananas Suri Peacoat is the epitome of luxury. Extraordinarily lightweight, exceptionally soft to the touch, and impeccably stylish. It must be worn to be believed.
I don't like shopping for clothes online. When shopping at a store for clothing I normally try to minimize my time in the store. Since I am an XY, I like to have a clear idea of what I want before entering a store. After viewing the window display at Joe Bananas my wife (XX) insisted that I try on some clothing in attempt to improve my personal selection of antiquated and worn clothing. With low expectations I tried Joe Bananas. However, my shopping experience was excellent. I know I sound like I'm XX! But, the conversation with the staff was engaging and entertaining. I left the store with excellent clothing that was comfortable and garnered rave reviews from my friends both XX and XY.
Love this suit - my second one from JoeBanana's over the past few months. I have received several compliments and have only worn once. What is amazing is the ease of care - I travel often and the suits and jackets look amazing after being in my luggage. Also, Nat in the Newport Beach store is amazing - I will stop by just to say hi. These guys are great.
