Product description

Product description

Sturdy, lightweight suiting made of quality virgin wool, a twill weave in black. Perfect for trousers, skirts, or blazers for a classic, tailored look, as well as dresses, light jackets, and historical costumes.

Quality virgin wool

This fabric is woven from virgin wool – new, non-recycled wool. It is not scratchy at all. On the contrary – it is smooth and soft to the touch with all the benefits that only wool can deliver:

  • Warmth
  • Breathability
  • Keeps warm even when wet.
  • Self-cleaning
  • Biodegradability (so when you finally do wear it out, it won’t stay landfill forever)

Fabrics made of virgin wool are sturdier, more durable, and longer lasting than those made of recycled wool.

Uses

Lightweight wool suiting is a classic textile and before the advent of synthetic fibers it formed a large part of our wardrobe, accounting for:

  • Men’s suits
  • Women’s slacks
  • Skirts
  • Housedresses
  • Little black dresses
  • Blazers
  • Jackets

Use this fine wool fabric to sew a pencil skirt, an elegant pair of slacks, or a winter suit skirt or experiment with making a light coat or a minimalist dress.

Practical tips

This fabric can be reinforced and shaped with a steam iron.

Our wool suiting is easy to cut and sew and forgives little mistakes, but you should have a basic idea of how to work with wool:

  • Before cutting, temper the fabric by steaming (press with a steam iron or through a damp cloth)
  • Always press from the wrong side to avoid leaving shiny patches on the face
  • Make chalk marks only on the wrong side, or mark with pins or tailor tacks

For wool fabrics it’s a good idea to use a lining of silk, acetate, cupro, or rayon to preserve breathability in the final garment.

Care

We recommend dry cleaning this wool fabric at a reliable dry cleaner. If construction of the final garment allows, may be washed by hand or by machine on the woolens program; use a special detergent for woolens; wash at a low temperature (30°C) with the spin cycle switched off.

Wool garments do not need to be ironed; simply hang on a good hanger while damp to dry. When sewing, iron only from the wrong side using the wool setting.

Péče

Pro vlnu doporučujeme chemické čištění v ověřené čistírně. Dovoluje-li to konstrukce oděvu, můžete ji i vyprat v ruce nebo v pračce na šetrný program určený na praní vlny; použijte speciální prací přípravek na vlnu, perte na 30 °C a neždímejte.

Oděvy není třeba žehlit, vlhké pověste na ramínko a nechte vyvěsit. Při šití žehlete po rubu na stupeň vlna.

FAQ

Should fabric be washed before sewing?

If we recommend pre-shrinking the fabric before sewing we usually say so in the product description. Let the recommended care notes in the fabric description be your guide – they will tell you if the fabric can be washed or steam ironed. Woolen fabrics are usually pre-shrunk by steaming from the back. Some fabrics should be dry cleaned only. For larger projects or more expensive fabrics, we recommend testing anything (washing, ironing, etc.) on a sample. Wool is a natural material and is never absolutely predictable.

Can I put goods on hold?

Yes. If you plan to pick up the goods in person at our store in Prague, you can put them on hold through the e-shop – there's a link just below the price on the product page. We will hold items for you for one week.

Do you accept orders by phone or email?

No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.

When will my order be delivered?

The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
