Description

Beautifully fine British worsted wool suiting in a sophisticated dark grey, woven with black and grey threads to create a wonderfully subtle mélange effect. Made in England from 100% worsted wool, this is a particularly lovely quality cloth with a smooth, refined surface and a beautifully soft handle. At 216gsm, it feels light and comfortable without being flimsy, with the clean, elegant drape you would expect from fine worsted suiting. The interwoven colours give it a depth and richness that a flat charcoal grey simply cannot match.

Perfect for beautifully tailored trousers, sharp blazers, waistcoats, skirts and classic suits, this is wool suiting at its most timeless. The fine weave lends itself to crisp tailoring while retaining enough softness for comfortable everyday wear. Equally suited to a smart business suit or a relaxed pair of beautifully cut trousers, it is understated, versatile and unmistakably good quality. Proper British cloth, beautifully made, and proof that grey need never be boring.

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.
