$28.54Excl. T.V.A.
Description
A commanding yak wool–cotton herringbone tweed in deep charcoal gray, combining natural insulation with added structure and durability. At 380 GSM, this is a true heavyweight fabric—dense, warm, and enduring—yet slightly crisper and more stable than pure yak wool alone. Yak wool (≈70%) provides warmth, breathability, and a soft, lofty character, while cotton (≈30%) adds firmness, abrasion resistance, and improved wear for tailored garments. The result is a heritage-minded tweed with a cleaner line and excellent longevity.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is woven in a traditional herringbone tweed structure, where alternating twill directions form the classic broken chevron pattern. Yak wool fibers, sourced from the insulating undercoat, are blended with cotton to balance warmth and structure. The cloth is lightly milled and brushed to soften the surface while retaining the herringbone's definition and the stability required for tailoring and outerwear.
