A sophisticated metal grey boiled wool with a softly mottled appearance, giving this classic shade a little more depth and character. Made from 100% wool, it has a dense, felted surface with a wonderfully cosy handle. Weighing approximately 380–420gsm, this substantial fabric provides warmth and structure whilst remaining flexible enough for comfortable outerwear.

The understated grey is easy to pair with almost any colour, making it a practical choice for timeless wardrobe pieces. At 140cm wide, it is ideal for tailored coats, relaxed jackets, coatigans, gilets and capes. The compact, boiled finish helps minimise fraying, making it particularly suitable for simple designs with clean lines and softly structured shapes.

Boiled Wool is a purely natural fabric. It has a natural lanolin protection which makes woollen products so easy to care for. Boiled wool needs to be dry/steam/fresh air cleaned.

  • If a boiled wool coat has just got slightly dirty, it is fine to shake or brush it out very carefully using a fine haired brush that will not damage the wool.
  • To get rid of unwanted smells in boiled wool garments, place them in the bathroom when you take a shower. The air humidity has a "self-cleaning" effect on wool.

Steaming to keep the fabric fresh

Please note: test on a small piece first to see how your fabric reacts to heat. Use a low heat with steam.

  • Steaming your wool fabric using an iron should be carried out in a methodical no rush way to ensure all areas of the fabric are covered.
  • Set the iron to a wool setting and hold the iron approximately 1.5cm/1 inch above the fabric. Hold the iron there for around five seconds before moving on to the next section.

Good to know

  • Please test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash your chosen fabrics, as we cannot accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
  • Whilst every effort is made, we cannot guarantee that the colours you see on your screen are accurate because every screen shows colours differently.
