When the Romans invaded in 55BC, the Britons already had a developed wool industry. By the 8th century, woollen fabrics were being shipped to the continent, quickly becoming Britain’s biggest export. British wool is coarser quality wool which makes it hard wearing; it should not be regarded as inferior to fine wool, merely different and ideal for stylish outerwear. It is a great blazer for the early spring, autumn and winter, in the city and in the country. Weekend or weekdays, it is easy to dress it up or down for each occasions. British made at the unique Moon's vertical mill in Guiseley, Yorkshire. It is available in 3 colors.
This 100% Shetland Wool (British) cloth is made by A.Moon in England.
The weigths are 370-410 g/lm which is great for autumn and winter seasons.
From supplying fabric for a growing Leeds market throughout the 1800's to supplying the major fashion houses of modern times, fine history is just one of many features that come together to make Abraham Moon products extra special. We like that hard-wearing hand-feel which will create a truly classic drape. We also like the very english color palette.
This Blazer is 30 hours of pure craftsmanship. It is a Half Canvas blazer, completely custom made in Shanghai by our tailors skilled and loving hands, which also produce men’s suits for prestigious fashion houses.
We like the construction of this blazer because the canvas only runs through the chest and lapels. This way it feels more robust and comfortable than a fused jacket but also lighter and less structured than a fully canvassed suit. The blazer will, therefore, have a structure and at the same time an elegant fluidity. The canvas fabric also gives the jacket greater durability compared to a fused construction jacket.
The Neapolitan Trim fit has high armholes, high lapel gorge, thin shoulder pads and thin sleeve-head pads which creates a very gentle roped sleeve. Pictured here, the Soft Comfort fit also has thin shoulder pads but it does not have sleeve-head pads and on this specific blazer it has a lower gorge, and a larger lapel (10cm instead of 8,5cm).
This single-breasted, 2 buttoned blazer is half-lined, has 2 patch pockets and two side vents. The generous 10cm lapel of the Soft Comfort Fit is classic and versatile. The chest pocket "Barchetta" is cut with a curve similar to the shape of a boat, which confers harmonious proportions.
