New To Wool Suiting?

Wool suiting is a traditional woven fabric valued for its natural warmth, durability and ability to hold a beautifully tailored shape.

Heavier wool suitings provide greater structure and substance than lightweight dressmaking fabrics, making them particularly suitable for jackets, trousers, waistcoats and outerwear.

Wool responds well to careful pressing and shaping, which is one of the reasons it has long been a favourite fabric for traditional tailoring.
