New suit - Poly Viscose?

    Hi,

    Buying a couple of new suits for work. I go through trousers ridiculously quick, would get max a year out of a suit trousers.

    Looked at a suit at lunch and the sales person said it was Uniform Poly Viscose (80/20). He said that it would be much harder wearing than normal suits but still looked well. He claimed a lot of other Poly Viscose suits would be Fashion Poly Viscose and would crease more and not be as hard wearing.

    I am not sure if I have had this fabric mix before, but would welcome peoples opinions on it.

    I am not in the market for spending four to five hundred on a tailored suit, as it is for everyday work use, and no matter what material I use I still wear out the trousers in no time.

    Last two suits were 100% wool.

    Thanks for the help.

    Personal opinion but I'd stick with wool, synthetic fabrics won't look as well from day 1, and after a few months wear can develop a 'shine' which will make even a well-fitting, expensive synthetic suit look cheap.
    I'd consider buying a second pair of trousers for your next wool suit and alternate them in order to get more wear out of the jacket in the long run.
