In 1908, Goodall Worsted Co., of Sanford, Maine, purchased the patent for a tropical weight mohair-cotton blend fabric developed by William S. Nutter. Goodall called the fabric Palm Beach cloth and sold it directly to tailors and manufacturers. In 1931 the company began producing suits from that fabric as well, best known of which is the classic, cream-colored summer suit popularly called the Palm Beach suit. This ensemble, with its heather gray dinner jacket and tuxedo-striped pants is also made from Palm Beach cloth.
