How much does a wool suit cost? Prices in Denmark, 2026

A suit in pure wool can be bought off the rack from around DKK 1,500, but it only becomes common from around DKK 4,000. Made to measure, pure wool starts around DKK 4,200. Below DKK 2,000, 38 of 43 suits had polyester, viscose or elastane in the outer material. That is what our sample of 127 ready-to-wear suits and 33 made-to-measure price levels shows, all selling in Denmark, read on 27 and 28 October 2026. All prices are in Danish kroner, as sold in Denmark.

Price and material move together

We sorted the 127 ready-to-wear suits by price and by what the outer material is made of. The higher the price, the more are in pure wool or other natural fibres, and the fewer contain man-made fibres.

Other natural fibres means wool blended with silk, linen, cashmere, mohair, alpaca or cotton, and suits entirely in linen, cotton or cashmere. Man-made fibres means polyester, viscose, elastane and similar, alone or blended with wool. One suit above DKK 8,000 did not state its composition.

Under DKK 2,000: the cheap suit

This is where the department stores and the large chains sit. The outer material is usually polyester and viscose with a little elastane, and where there is wool, it is blended with man-made fibres. Only one of the 43 suits was in pure wool, and that was a jacket and trousers sold separately. A cheap suit can carry a single occasion, but polyester and viscose do not breathe like wool, and they do not recover in the same way after a long day.

DKK 2,000-4,000: where pure wool begins

In the next band the first pure wool suits from the chains appear, some with a Super number such as Super 100s on the label. They are still the exception: 6 of 31 were in pure wool, while 21 contained man-made fibres, most of them as wool blended with polyester. So read the label, even when the name says wool.

DKK 4,000-8,000: pure wool becomes the norm

From around DKK 4,000 the picture turns. Between DKK 4,000 and 6,000, 11 of 28 were in pure wool and 6 in wool blended with other natural fibres such as silk, linen or mohair. Between DKK 6,000 and 8,000, 14 of 17 were in pure wool or other natural fibres. Above DKK 8,000, none of the suits that stated their composition had man-made fibres in the outer material.

Made to measure: what pure wool costs

We also looked at 12 providers of made-to-measure suits, from tailors in Copenhagen to web shops where you take your own measurements. Their lowest price level ranged from about DKK 3,000 to 7,500. Every level below DKK 4,000 was without wool, wool blended with man-made fibres, or a wool blend with no stated composition.

At 8 of the 12 we could see what pure wool costs. The cheapest pure wool ranged from about DKK 4,200 to 8,000, and at half of them it was above DKK 6,500. The price does not cover the same thing everywhere: some include measurements and fittings, others have you measure yourself at home. So compare what is included as well.

At House of Vinterberg: A 2-piece suit in pure wool, made to your measurements, costs from DKK 5,000, and a 3-piece from DKK 6,000. The price covers measurements taken at the Showroom and all fittings, and you have a 30-day fit guarantee from receipt. The materials range from pure wool to wool with cashmere, mohair, silk or linen, and you can see them by level on our prices. A made-to-measure suit is typically ready 3-5 weeks after the measurements are taken.

How to read the label

The composition is on the label inside the jacket or in the product description online, and it refers to the outer material. The lining is usually listed separately.

• If it says 100% wool or 100% Virgin Wool, the outer material is pure wool. Virgin Wool is new wool that has never been processed or used before.

• If the name says wool, check the percentages. Many suits with wool in the name are blended with polyester.

• The Super number, such as Super 110s or Super 130s, tells you how fine the wool fibres are. A higher number gives a softer and lighter material, but not necessarily a suit that takes more wear.

• A little elastane adds flexibility. Once polyester and viscose make up more than the wool, it is no longer a wool suit.

• If jacket and trousers are sold separately, check both. They can be in different materials, and the price is the sum of the two.

Why pure wool

Wool absorbs moisture and draws it away from the body, so the suit breathes, in a warm meeting room and on a cold November day alike. The fibres are elastic, so creases fall out when the suit hangs overnight, and a wool jacket can be pressed and shaped to follow the body. That is why a suit in pure wool can be worn for many years when it is cared for. The fabric guide covers wool, linen and cotton in more detail.

How we made the sample

We read the price and material of 127 ready-to-wear suits from 26 brands and retailers and 33 price levels at 12 providers of made-to-measure suits, all selling in Denmark, on 27 and 28 October 2026. We used the regular price including VAT, not sale prices, and the composition from the product page. Where jacket and trousers are sold separately, we added the two prices together. One brand showed prices in euros only, which we converted at a rate of 7.46.

The sample is not random. We chose up to 12 suits per brand, spread across the range, so the figures show price levels rather than market shares. For the made-to-measure providers these are price levels, not individual suits, and 12 of the 33 price levels did not state the composition. We name no brands, because the guide is about what the money buys, not about individual shops.

To feel the difference in the materials, visit the Showroom at Skoubogade 2 in Copenhagen. It is open without booking during opening hours, and if you book a time, a designer has time alone with you.
