The Journal — Fabric & Mills

When a Vestium NY client selects cloth from the swatch book, they are making a decision about more than color and hand. They are selecting a specific product of a specific place — a mill in Huddersfield, a weaving house in Brianza, a family business in the Sesia valley — and choosing to carry that provenance in the garment they will wear for the next twenty years. Understanding why this matters is understanding why quality suiting cloth is what it is, and why it cannot be exactly replicated anywhere else.

Not every premium suiting fabric comes from England. Italy has produced some of the world's finest textiles for centuries, and within Italian suiting cloth, CARNET occupies a specific and respected position.

If you've ever worn a suit from a serious tailor — on Savile Row, in New York, in Milan — there is a reasonable chance the fabric came from Holland & Sherry.
