Parkour specialist Dominic Di Tommaso has been appointed to test run M.J. Bale’s new ‘Flow – Made-to-Move’ suits.
The 28-year-old Sydney-based athlete and actor successfully completed a day of training wearing three M.J. Bale’s Flynn Flow suits.
The suits are woven in Italy from 90% Merino wool, 9% linen and 1% sustainable elastane, an elastic-like fibre.
Tommaso claimed the cloth delivered flexibility, movement and range never seen before in suiting.
“I was completely surprised by the lack of resistance I felt moving, particularly with regards to the suit’s shoulder range.
“With my leg movements and taking off plyometrically, there was no resistance or point of stress at full motion.
"After training in them outdoors the other standout feature was the breathability of the material and how well-ventilated they were – during both warmer and colder temperatures.
"I never got too cold or sweaty, which is an issue I have with other suits, usually drenching them out.”
M.J. Bale is an Australian-owned menswear retailer that specialises in tailoring crafted from sustainable natural fibres, particularly, Australian Merino wool.
The brand creates single-source Merino wool suits with its conservationist partner farm in Tasmania, Kingston, and recently announced plans to go 100% carbon neutral by December 2021.
