Refined grey and black herringbone coating woven in Italy from a luxurious blend of 80% wool and 20% cashmere. The classic herringbone design gives it quiet structure and depth, while the cashmere softens the handle beautifully, creating a cloth that feels as good as it looks.
At 148cm wide, this light to midweight coating is ideal for elegant coats, jackets and tailored outerwear with a clean silhouette. Originally produced for a French luxury fashion house, it is genuine designer deadstock - premium surplus cloth that offers exceptional quality while reducing waste. Soft, warm and timeless, it’s a sophisticated choice for considered winter sewing.
Alan says - "Listen closely, I’ll say this only once. Here’s a rare chance to get your hands on some of the finest wool fabrics straight from Italy’s top mills. These luxurious woollens have graced high-end fashion house collections - no names, but trust me, they’re exceptional."
