Who knows which design these yarns will be used for? Ranging from warm chocolate through orange and brick red to purple and grey, woven by the Vitale Barberis Canonico looms. Will it be a Prince of Wales, an overcheck or something completely different?⁠#VitaleBarberisCanonico #VBCfabrics #wool #yarn #7stepstofabric #princeofwales #overcheck

In order to better study the quality of such precious wools, the Vitale Barberis Canonico experts use a small device in completely black, smooth velvet, on which the fibres are stretched out, to reveal all their qualities, like expensive jewels.⁠#VitaleBarberisCanonico #VBCfabrics #wool #madeinitaly #quality #rawmaterial #handwork #rawwool

#Repost @therake• • • • • •Though the company faced numerous obstacles during the dark years of Italy’s fascist rule and the hardships of World War II, including shortages of workers, electricity, machinery and materials, the @vitalebarberiscanonico1663 mill continued to function. Following the end of hostilities, VBC’s management made the decision to focus the business on the upper end of the market, endeavouring to produce exclusively high-quality cloth. Through the Dolce Vita era and in the decades since, Vitale Barberis Canonico has cemented a trusted reputation amongst the world’s best tailors, fashion labels and men’s clothiers as one of a handful of go-to suppliers of fine textiles.⁠⁠That explains why the company’s cloth — which is predominately spun from primo Australian merino wool fleeces — can be found in garments from a pantheon of the menswear greats, including Brunello Cucinelli, Kiton, Brioni, Gucci and Canali. VBC bunches are often offered to clients as a default by leading bespoke tailors, confident the customer will be delighted with the end result.⁠⁠Now, you too can enjoy the same access world-class tailors have come to rely upon, ordering a curated collection of Vitale Barberis Canonico cloth directly from TheRake.com. We’ve carefully chosen a time-saving edit of our favourite cloths from this legendary Italian mill, helping guide your hand in choosing the perfect fabrics for suits, trousers, blazers and sports coats. ⁠⁠Discover the edit now using the link in our bio.#VitaleBarberisCanonico #vbcfabrics #theRake
