Fabrics

The range of fabrics available for suits and shirts is amazing and daunting. Daunting when trying to decide the perfect one for a new purchase.

Here are a few of the best: Carlo Riva, David & John Anderson, Holland and Sherry, and Scabal. Harrisons has a portfolio of brands: H. Lesser & Sons, Harrisons, Lear Browne & Dunsford, Porter & Harding, Smith Woollens, and W. Bill. 

The range of wool available from around the world is incredible, from sheep and lambs wool to the super fine wool of  Guanaco and Vincuna. Alpaca wool is fairly expansive at $2.00 - $3.00 per ounce, but Vicuna wool is the most expensive at around $15.00 per ounce.
