The Cloth

The quintessential flannel; 340 gsm of 100% virgin wool from Vitale Barberis Canonico. VBC has been making cloth since the middle of the 17th Century and all that practice has culminated in a terrific cloth. This blue wool dressing gown is the real crowd-pleaser; it's everyone's first pick and rightly so as it just fits in so perfectly with a range of lifestyles and wardrobes. The depth of the colour is something that can only be achieved with a flannel cloth thanks to a blurry melange of various yarns. The secret is out that wool is a full on wonder-cloth thanks to its heat regulation, balance of strength and suppleness, and environmental properties. Add to that the 'flannel' finishing of softening the cloth for extra comfort and we've got something very special indeed.
