suiting
Cloth for tailors
Suiting is fabric suitable for making suits—typically wool or wool blends with enough weight and structure to hold a tailored shape.
The term appears in textile contexts: a bolt of fine Italian suiting, lightweight summer suiting.
As a verb form, suiting means fitting or pleasing: Whatever's suiting you is fine by me.
