New Coat Fabric Collection (part 2)


In the second part of our introduction to the new winter coat fabric collection we concentrate on the more luxurious articles. This doesn’t have to mean the use of noble fibres, although they are well represented, it is more about the drape, lustre or finish that has to be achieved and this is very well illustrated by the fabric used in the garment shown in the picture. This style uses a wool article blended with viscose and polyamide (but you would think its cashmere) with a weight of 550gms linear and a price of around $10.00 per meter ex Shanghai. There is usually greige stock ready for dyeing so we can offer quick lead times.

The common theme running through the plain articles are the pressed finishes giving a sophisticated look that lends itself well to military or cocooning styling be it a fine 100% wool or a cloth with 10% virgin cashmere content.
In contrast we have a small group of longer pile articles such as a boucle using mohair that gives a tufted effect or a cut item that gives a diamond self pattern that has an alpaca content.

Further products will be added to the collection later in the season.We also have a sourcing service should you require a specific fabric to be found from our extensive portfolio of mills found all over China, but in the meantime if you would like to see the collection as well as examples of our garment production please get in touch with Will; will.catlin@virgin.net and he will be happy to arrange a meeting.
