1. Fabric Overview
A deeply refined, yarn-dyed boiled wool in nuanced charcoal grey, offering quiet strength, warmth, and visual depth.
At 390 GSM, this is a true heavyweight wool—dense, insulating, and protective—yet calm and composed rather than bulky.
The yarn-dyed base gives the colour dimensionality and longevity, while the boiling process creates a smooth, unified surface with a softly felted character.
This fabric feels heritage-inspired, minimalist, and enduring—designed for silhouettes that rely on structure and longevity rather than trends.
2. How the Fabric Is Made
The fabric begins as a yarn-dyed woven wool cloth, with the colour introduced at the yarn stage rather than after weaving.
It then undergoes controlled boiling, also known as fulling—a process that uses heat, moisture, and agitation to partially felt the wool fibres.
This densifies the fabric, closes the weave, and produces a compact, wind-resistant structure with reduced fraying.
Because the colour is yarn-dyed, the charcoal tone remains rich, even, and stable over time.
