This crossbred worsted cloth is made from a blend of British Cheviot Wool. A favourite of both Huntsman Head Cutters Dario Carnera and Campbell Carey for its durability, softness and drape.
Cheviot sheep are one of the oldest breeds in Britain and have always been highly valued for the
whiteness of the fibre they produce. The other great asset of using British wool with a micron of 24
is the tensile strength and natural resilience to wear and creasing.
Finished using soft Yorkshire water, it maintains its natural quality and produces that crisp dry
handle for incredible performance, and is the ultimate travel suiting quality
A cloth made from 100% British Wool with lowest carbon footprint of any bunch in the market. We
shear the fleeces from our flock of Cheviot sheep in North Yorkshire and send them off to make
yarn. The spinning, weaving and finishing all takes within a 20-mile radius around the town of
Huddersfield England, a true made in England product.

For those light and lustrous separates, look no further than the bamboo cloth. Since its introduction as an innovative jacketing quality a few short years ago, clients have delighted in its luxurious handle, subtle luster and its performance.
Bamboo fabric are soft, light and silky with excellent wicking properties whilst the fibers provide great insulation in colder climates. Meaning you can enjoy garments in bamboo cloth from spring right through to autumn. It is also hydrophilic and has natural deodorizing qualities. Bamboo clothing (both mechanically and chemically manufactured) is 100% biodegradable and can be completely decomposed in the soil by microorganisms and sunlight.
Bamboo is a fast-growing plant requiring no pesticides to grow it is regarded as an ecologically friendly fabric and highly sustainable. It is the fastest-growing grass and can shoot up a yard or more a day. Bamboo reaches maturity quickly and is ready for harvesting in about 4 years. Bamboo does not require replanting after harvesting because its vast root network continually sprouts new shoots which almost zoom up while you watch them, pulling in sunlight and greenhouse gases and converting them to new green growth. And bamboo does this the natural way without the need for petroleum-guzzling tractors and poisonous pesticides and fertilizers.
