Features of Italian wool fabric
Italian factories produce many types of wool: some are suitable for making suits and sweaters, others – for the production of outerwear. Dense fabric belongs to the second type. On average, its density is from 350 gr/m2 (for children's clothing) to 600 gr/m2 (for male clothes).
Most often, such materials contain not only wool, but also synthetic additives, like nylon, or viscose. They are necessary in order to extend the service life, increase elasticity, provide crease resistance, and give a light shine to the finished product. High-quality Italian fabric contains no more than 10% synthetics.

Types of heavy wool
There are many types of wool fabrics, but not all of them are suitable for the production of outerwear. This section of our catalog contains materials designed for cold seasons and characterized by high density. These are the following:
- Drape is one of the most common materials, usually consisting two layers, and therefore characterized by good thermal insulation. Density is ensured by the weave of three threads. The surface is smooth, so it save an excellent appearance for a long time;
- Tweed is a fabric with herringbone pattern that looks very elegant. It evokes associations with English gentlemen. It is a very wear-resistant material that does not change its properties for years;
- Gabardine is a special type of weave that gives water-repellent properties to ordinary materials. Gabardine rarely wrinkles and is perfect for regions with severe weather conditions.
Most often, coats are sewn with drape, especially when it comes to winter types. However, all the wool fabrics presented in the catalog are distinguished by their excellent ability to keep warm and at the same time expressing true Italian elegance.
