A sophisticated black wool blend coating fabric featuring a subtle tone-on-tone herringbone weave. Rather than using contrasting colours, the herringbone pattern blends into the black surface, creating understated texture and visual depth while maintaining a timeless monochromatic appearance.

Made with 85% wool and weighing 408 gsm, this heavyweight coating has a substantial hand and the structure needed for fall and winter outerwear. The softly textured surface gives the fabric character, while the classic black colour makes it exceptionally versatile for both contemporary and traditional garments.

The subtle herringbone is one of the most distinctive features of this fabric. From a distance, it reads primarily as a rich black coating, while closer inspection reveals the refined chevron structure of the weave. The tone-on-tone design adds dimension without the stronger visual contrast of a traditional two-colour herringbone.

At a generous 155 cm width, this wool coating is particularly well suited to coats, tailored jackets and other structured outerwear where shape and definition are desired. A separate garment lining is recommended for a polished interior, greater comfort and easier layering.
