Wool Flannel’s explained

With the colder months approaching it is a good idea to have at least one winter flannel weight suit in your collection.

Flannel is typically made out of worsted wool, and is similar to tweed and herringbone in terms of look, but tends to be softer to the touch. Flannel suits have the advantage of being quite hip and stylish, giving wearers a polished and slightly felted appearance that will make you stand out. Flannel also tends to appear the most luxurious of the heavier fabrics, as it is nice to look at and extremely soft.

Having one in your winter arsenal will show the world that you are able to curate your look appropriately with the changing seasons, and that you are a style trendsetter. Flannel is acceptable for day-to-day use, but may not be formal enough for special occasions or strict dress codes.

We carry a timeless collection of flannel suits from Vitale Barberis Canonico. They have been crafting amazing fabrics since 1663.
