Colour:
Classic Navy is woven with timeless darkest navy all-wool yarns. Navy tones are perennial classics, super-smart and so versatile, perfect for those who find black too harsh.
Properties:
Classic Navy boasts the characteristic diagonals of a close twill weave on both sides. Wool serge fabrics are hard-wearing, crease-resistant, and comfortably warm. When presented to the light this superior Italian fabric displays a subtle lustrous sheen. Tailored pieces will benefit from a quality lining. Italian fabrics are some of the best in the world and this is no exception. Stable in handle yet reassuringly weighty and drapey.
