The house

The mills we cut from.

Naming the mill is half the honesty of a price. These are the eleven houses behind our tailoring cloth — most of them older than the countries they ship to.

Vitale Barberis Canonico

Biella, Italy · weaving since 1663

One of the oldest wool mills in the world, run by the same family for over three and a half centuries. The benchmark for classic worsted suiting — cloths that tailor cleanly and wear for decades.

Piacenza 1733

Pollone, Italy · est. 1733

Nearly three centuries of noble fibres — cashmere, vicuña, fine wools — woven at the foot of the Biellese Alps. Chosen for hand: their cloths feel expensive because the fibre is.

Holland & Sherry

London · est. 1836 · Savile Row's cloth merchant

Supplier to the Row's tailors since the reign of William IV. English wools with body and recovery — cloth that holds a pressed line through a working day.

Dormeuil

Paris & England · est. 1842

A French house weaving in England for nearly two centuries. Refined, softly-drawing cloths — the choice when a suit should whisper rather than announce.

Successori Reda

Valle Mosso, Italy · est. 1865 · vertically integrated

Reda controls its chain from its own merino farms to finished cloth. Consistency is the point: the same quality, bolt after bolt, year after year.

Lanificio F.lli Cerruti

Biella, Italy · est. 1881

The Biellese mill behind generations of soft-tailoring cloth. Known for fluid drape and a dry, elegant touch that suits unstructured jackets.

Lanificio Zegna

Trivero, Italy · est. 1910

Ermenegildo Zegna built the mill before the fashion house existed. Superfine wools of exceptional regularity — and a century of investment in the mountain territory around the mill.

Loro Piana

Quarona, Italy · six generations in wool

The most famous name in noble fibres — cashmere, baby cashmere, superfine merino. When a piece calls for the softest possible cloth, it comes from here.

Solbiati

Lombardy, Italy · linen specialists since 1874

Italy's great linen house. Solbiati treats flax the way Biella treats wool — with obsession — and their linens age from crisp to lived-in without losing dignity.

Drago

Biella, Italy · superfine merino specialists

A younger Biellese mill with a modern plant and a focus on high-twist, superfine yarns — cloths with spring, crease recovery and a clean surface. The travel-suit answer.

Carnet

Como, Italy · curated cloth collections

A Como house curating some of Italy's finest cloth into coherent seasonal collections — the route to special lengths and patterns a single mill cannot offer.
