Italian performance without compromise
How do you design a jacket that is elegant, comfortable, breathable, textured, and incredibly durable? A jacket that you slip on without thinking — whether it’s for work, a relaxed weekend stroll, or dancing the night away at a wedding?
Our co-founder Benoît found the answer by sourcing this high-performance Italian fabric with unique properties, blending:
- 59% wool, for the natural beauty of its drape along with its temperature-regulating and odor-resistant properties
- 39% high-performance Cordura®, for exceptional strength and durability. First developed in 1966 by the American company Cordura, this ultra-resistant nylon fiber — originally used in military gear — has since found its place in the urban wardrobe. This fabric reaches 50,000 cycles on the Martindale abrasion test, four times more than a standard wool dress fabric. In other words: this is not a pair of trousers you’ll wear through anytime soon.
- 2% elasthane, for total freedom of movement
And of course, our love of texture still takes center stage: its micro-seersucker weave adds a slight waffle effect that gives the fabric character while further enhancing its breathability.
This technical feat is made possible by the expertise of Italian mill Marlane, based in the Biella region — widely recognized as the historic heart of Italy’s wool industry. Marlane specializes in crafting fabrics that are not only elegant, but also relaxed, functional, and comfortable.
