Woven in the United Kingdom and patented in 1907, wool fresco is considered the "ultimate travel cloth"
This high-twist pure wool has an open weave and a smooth hand. It's heavy enough for a proper drape, but airy enough to comfortably wear on a warm day. It's naturally wrinkle resistant and it folds down and packs easily. It's incredibly durable as well.
This collection features three distinct categories:
1) Fresco Lite weighs in at 9oz and is wearable all four seasons. It's the weight of a typical suit, and it's available in a stunning array of colors.
2) Balloon Basketweave Hopsack is 11oz and features a super high-twist open weave. It's both heavier than Fresco Lite and more breathable. For a classic navy sportcoat with a great texture, this fabric is absolutely peerless.
3) Sharkskin Fresco is a 9oz all-season weight and features a plain weave of contrasting yarn colors. It has a subtle sheen and a wonderful old-school character.
