Description

Superfine wool flannel suiting in a beautifully deep, almost-black navy, with a wonderfully smooth handle and the quiet sophistication of a really good tailoring cloth. Woven from 98% wool with just a touch of Lycra, this ex-designer fabric has a fine twill construction and a soft flannel finish that gives it a subtle warmth without losing its refined appearance. At 190gsm, it is surprisingly lightweight for a wool suiting, with an elegant drape, a beautifully soft touch and just a whisper of give across the width. 

Sourced from a distinguished name in fine tailoring, this is the sort of cloth that deserves to be made into something rather special. Think beautifully cut trousers, sharp blazers, elegant waistcoats, pencil skirts or a complete tailored suit. Smart without being stiff, luxurious without showing off, and exactly the sort of fabric that reminds you why a beautifully made wool suit never goes out of fashion.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

Care & washing

WashingProfessional dry clean recommended
DryingDo not tumble dry. Air dry naturally if damp
