This lightweight, supersoft wool fabric brings together classic tailoring aesthetics with the most luxurious fabric quality.

The base is a rich, deep charcoal – that perfect sophisticated grey that works with absolutely everything in your wardrobe. Woven through this backdrop is a classic windowpane check in the most gorgeous ember copper shade, accented with crisp white lines. The pattern has that timeless tailoring heritage, but rendered in the most beautifully fluid challis weave.

Challis (pronounced “shal-ee”) has all the wonderful natural properties of wool, but in the most incredibly soft, lightweight form imaginable. This fabric is so smooth and fine that many people are genuinely amazed to discover it’s 100% wool. There’s absolutely no scratchiness, no itchiness, no need to layer anything underneath. Instead, you get fabric that drapes like silk but with wool’s natural breathability and temperature regulation.

The weave is incredibly even and fine, which means it presses beautifully and holds its shape exactly where you want it to. Yet it’s also wonderfully forgiving – naturally wrinkle-resistant and perfect for pieces you’ll want to wear all day or pack for travel.
