The numbers '110' and '120' in the advertisements refer to the number of threads per inch. A higher threadcount is associated with a softer and more luxurious fabric. "The finely woven line... uses a minimum of 'super-110' wool, which refers to the number of threads per inch; most standard wool slacks are about 70 or 80 per inch." Smart Money Magazine: Suiting Up http://www.smartmoney.com/mag/index.cfm?story=september01-clothes "Most tuxedos that you see in formalwear shops are made of worsted wool. The Super 100's, Super 110's and Super 120's contain more threads per square inch than the worsted wool, and therefore are much softer fabrics." CheapTux: Questions and Answers http://www.cheaptux.com/questions-answers.htm#question7 "COAT AND TROUSER MATERIAL > Worsted Wool = 100% Wool fabric (standard); thread count is generally 60 - 75 threads per inch. > Super 100's = finer and softer wool... thread count is 100 threads per inch... > Super 110's = even softer than the Super 100's; thread count is 110 threads per inch... > Super 120's = I'm sure you can guess -- even softer; thread count is 120 threads per inch."
