ik denk dat je dan tamelijk inferieure cashmere hebt... kan je beter een van goede wol kopen denk ik.
Leuk verhaaltje hier over:
Spin Doctors
Contrary to popular belief, true suit quality begins with the fabric maker, not the tailor.
A highly skilled tailor may be required to maneuver a
needle and thread through superfine wools, but it takes a superior cloth
maker to create those fabrics that are elevating the age-old art of suit
making.
Since Gamma Beta Holdings bought 446-year-old Moxon Huddersfield in
1993 and installed managing director Firas Chamsi-Pasha, the English mill
has developed an arsenal of extraordinary fabrics. Pivotal to these is the
first 12.9-micron, Super 210 wool, which is spun on special looms that
must be slowed to a snail’s pace to handle the delicate fabric. The
gossamer-like cloth, which is regarded as superior to both cashmere and
vicuña, is made from the wool of a rare breed of sheep. The material can
be produced only every three years—it takes that long to collect enough
fiber from the animals, which are specially cared for and kept isolated.
The extreme rarity of the fabric means that supply is restricted to the
most exclusive menswear houses, includ-ing Brioni, d’Avenza, and
Oxxford.
