Nicholas Antongiavanni, author of The Suit: A Machiavellian Approach to Men’s Style, has written an extremely detailed article on the the pros and cons of super high-end wool for suits.  Among other things, Izzy learned that:  

Nearly every suit sold today-certainly those at the middle through the top of the market-is made from wool shorn from sheep descended from just two rams and four ewes.

Antongiavanni comes down in favor of the techno wools, which are jaw-droppingly expensive, but Izzy, like this British tailor, generally prefers hardwearing, sturdy fabric to that which is incredibly soft but delicate.
