Description

Fabulously dark, almost black Italian wool and cashmere coating with a softly brushed finish that gives the surface depth and quiet richness. The subtle mix of yarns creates a refined tone rather than a flat black, making it a sophisticated choice for timeless outerwear.

Woven in Italy at 152cm wide, this midweight cloth blends 80% wool with 20% cashmere for warmth, softness and structure. The brushed finish enhances its handle while retaining enough body for tailored coats and jackets. Originally produced for Valentino, this is genuine designer deadstock - a rare opportunity to sew with high-end surplus cloth that would otherwise go unused.

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."

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.
