The weight of double-faced wool
What 740gsm means at the shoulder, and why we rejected three mills before settling on Biella.

MAKERS' NOTES
On weight,
and on restraint.
The heaviest wool we use is 740 grams per metre. It is warmer than the hand expects, and it refuses to crease the way cheaper fabric does. We do not add lining where none is needed. We do not stitch a logo where a button will do.
