What is high twist wool?

Our Perpetual Collection is a collection of exclusive, carefully selected fabrics where we have selected qualities that represent exclusivity, durability and a sustainable mindset. Several of our high twist perpetuals might have an extra appeal come spring and summer, since they are quite “airy” and not as warm as your average wool suit.

Our Essential collection is best described as your ‘go to pieces’ or wardrobe staples. This does not mean the products and fabrics are any less exclusive, on the contrary – an exclusive fabric, to us, is one that truly serves a purpose and manages to withstand the test of time. As you might have figured out by now, The Essential Collection includes some of our favorite high twist wool products.

Our ‘Traveller’ version is a fabric from the renowned Italian fabric producer Loro Piana while ‘Fresco’ is produced by British weaver Hardy Minnis. Both equally outstanding in terms of quality but with slight difference in the shape an output of the actual garment. In many ways, they resemble the type of tailoring typically produced (and worn) in the respective country of origin. The Fresco fabric has a matte, dry finish and creates a very sharp, clear cut and drape that is perfect for formal occasions. Is also produces a slightly heavier feeling or drape. The Traveller however, has the ability to produce a garment in between formal and casual. For example, many of our customers choose to create an unconstructed, unlined Traveller hopsack jacket – perhaps on the most appreciated garments Blugiallo has to offer.
