From a distance this reads as a smart mottled olive, but get up close and you'll spot green, yellow and rich maroon fibres all working together through the cloth. The result is a beautifully understated, almost tweed-like depth that has far more character than a flat plain coating. Woven in Britain from an indulgent blend of 80% wool and 20% cashmere, the cloth has been expertly milled during finishing, allowing the fibres to bloom and soften into a dense, smooth surface with a wonderfully refined handle. The weave gently melts into the finish rather than standing proud, creating a luxurious cloth with exceptional warmth, softness and that unmistakable "where did you get that?" quality.
At around 260gsm, it sits comfortably between suiting and lightweight coating, with enough body to tailor beautifully while remaining supple and easy to wear. Think unstructured blazers, overshirts, lightweight coats, smart skirts or relaxed country-inspired jackets. It's one of those fabrics that quietly stands out through quality rather than boldness; a timeless British cloth that feels every bit as good as it looks.
