FAQ

What is wool coating fabric?
Wool coating is a substantial wool or wool-blend woven fabric primarily used for coats, jackets and other outerwear. Compared with wool suiting, coating fabrics generally provide more body, warmth and structure.

Is 407 gsm suitable for a winter coat?
Yes. At 407 gsm, this is a substantial coating fabric with enough weight and body for many winter coat and jacket styles. The final warmth of the garment will also depend on the pattern, construction and lining used.

Should wool coating be lined?
Lining is recommended for most coats and jackets. It creates a smoother interior, makes the garment easier to layer over clothing and provides a more polished finish.

What does the viscose add to this wool blend?
Viscose contributes softness and suppleness to the blend while allowing the fabric to retain the warmth, body and characteristic texture associated with wool coating.
