Materials Guide

Wool, a natural fiber par excellence, has accompanied Man for thousands of years. Renowned for its warmth in winter, it keeps just as cool in summer. Indeed, wool is especially thermoregulating, ideal for hot weather as well as cold winters.

Wool is the essential material for tailors, it is historically worked with a hot iron and cooked to take the desired shape.

You will find it declined in flannel for the winter and in fresco for the summer!

Maintenance:

Dry cleaning is highly recommended for wool pants. However, it should not be done often: only once a year, or even less! A simple ironing with steam at home or at the dry cleaner is enough in most cases to remove odors, bacteria and to give a good behaviour to the pants.

Tweed is a carded wool fabric. It has a characteristic weave that was popularized by Irish weavers. The particularity of tweed is its small colored and irregular grains, discreetly mottled. It is the flagship material of the winter.

Cashmere is a fine and very soft fiber that is obtained from the cashmere goat. Like wool, depending on the weave, cashmere fabric adapts to the different seasons. Its softness makes it a luxury fabric that we like to mix with other materials to combine the benefits.

We choose linen from drapers for its lightness with barely any weight. It is ideal for the warm seasons. So the pants fall well and have hold. The more you wash the pants, the softer and more comfortable they become. Linen is a fabric that ages well. There is another advantage, it dries very quickly which makes it very pleasant in summer.

Maintenance:

Linen is not afraid of water and can therefore be machine washed. However, to avoid the shrinkage of the material, do not use too hot programs (above 30°) with too strong spinning (1000 revolutions and more), prefer gentler programs that respect the garment. Do not use a dryer if you do not want to end up with shorts!
