Fabric Mills
The king of natural fibres and the gold standard for suiting construction, wool is versatile, comfortable, durable and breathable, as well as thermoregulating (meaning you stay cool when it’s hot, and warm when it’s cold). Importantly, the natural elasticity and softness in the fibre ensures that a suit crafted from wool always drapes elegantly on the body, in a way that other fabrics just can’t. When it comes to wool, InStitchu is woven into the domestic industry - we use Woolmark certified 100% Australian Merino wool, sourced from the most passionate and celebrated Merino farms in the world.
But sourcing the wool is only the first step of the process of turning it into a cloth for suiting. From Australian farms, the wool heads to mills that turn it into long rolls of fabric that can be cut and stitched into suits as we know them. The best wool mills in the world are, and have been for a very long time, in northern Italy. InStitchu works closely with these mills to present a range of fabrics, capturing our Premium and Luxury ranges, encompassing the very best suiting materials in the world.
