Wools

Wool for tailoring

Wool is warm for its weight, naturally water-resistant, and it presses into shape and keeps it — which is why tailoring exists at all. A wool coat or jacket can be moulded over a curve with steam in a way no synthetic will hold.

Our range runs from lighter suiting weights through to heavier coatings, with dogtooth, houndstooth and check patterns alongside plain colours. Use the lighter weights for skirts, trousers and unlined jackets, the heavier ones for coats and capes. Wool creases far less than cotton or linen in wear, and a steam and a hang overnight usually resets it.
