I’m drawn to cloths that balance performance with character; durable, crease-resistant fabrics with an open weave that remain breathable and comfortable throughout the year. For our Asia trunk shows, I asked one of our trusted British mills to create something I felt was missing: a London-shrunk, 4-ply cloth woven from fine 15.75-micron wool. Its luxurious handle retains the authentic character and heritage of traditional British cloth, making it something truly special for this project.

Drapers Ascot
240g-510g | 100% Wool
Drapers' Ascot comes in a variety of weights 2, 4 and 6 ply and is one of our favourite high-twist fabrics for trousers and suits. Durable, crease-resistant, and slightly heavier than most tropical worsteds, its open weave ensures it remains breathable and comfortable not only in summer but all year round.
The 1896 Rare
Dugdale | 100% Wool
I requested that Dugdale create something missing from our Asia trunk shows, and they did. This material offers a lovely luxury handle while successfully maintaining the authentic aesthetics and characteristics of traditional British cloth with a story. London Shrunk, 4ply, 15.75 micron. It truly represents something special for this project.
