Performing classics for travelling
Classic at first sight, innovative and performing at the heart. Fabrics that protect you during your business trips whether they are short or long range. Protection from atmospheric agents or from much smaller and more insidious enemies: membranes and/or water repellent treatments for effective protection against water and wind; a more comfortable fit to ease traveller’s movement, thanks to the natural elasticity of the wool or by including elastane in the mix; Antimicrobial and antiviral treatments, which add performance without affecting the beautiful handle of wool.
3D structures
Three-dimensional structures that give shape and a different substance to the materials that make up the jacket can also be obtained through laser processing ; and lamination or blends with Cordura give additional elasticity to the fabrics.
Digital tailoring
The more formal and classic fabric revisited in a contemporary key, from the composition to the sartorial approach, the tailor takes on a new, technological and immediate identity, lending his manual skill and ability from years of experience and passing it on to a new generation of digital tailors. The dress takes on a different and younger connotation, dressing rooms with scanners to take the customer's exact measurements, or you can do it from home using body measuring applications; the Sizer app uses the front camera of your smartphone to scan your body and provide you with measurements in under two minutes.
Wool collars
Versatility, modularity, practicality are the keywords as the nature of work has completely changed, becoming more flexible and fluid. Wool is the perfect fibre to interpret the new need for essential pieces that are practical and stylish at the same time. A range of perfect fabrics for redefining classic shirts with a more relaxed appeal, aiming to find a new balance between work and life.
Built to last
A selection of timeless wool fabrics as we adjust to a new future where the focus is directed to durable items with timeless appeal.

Jersey: from tip to toe
Jersey in its innumerable forms, from the base layer to the formal dress in which compact jerseys find a new, contemporary expression, creating a comfortable and younger alternative to woven fabrics. For ease of movement, through the typical elasticity of the knitted structure, the formal dress becomes contemporary and updated. A suit even for those who have never worn the suit.
Denimings
Washable, fluid but compact, wool denim in different weights, whether for shirts, women's dresses, or men's suits, as versatile in use as in different compositions, 100% wool, wool blended with eco-sustainable fibres such as Tencel™ or organic cotton or viscose for greater fluidity.

PROTECTIONWEAR
PROTECTIONWEAR
Driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, the new sense of practicality and multi-functional clothing featuring all-purpose technical fabrics and utility details is becoming more important, embracing all the categories and reconsidering also those that are less focused on fashion and aesthetics and more on the growing need for protection and safety.
Workwear and uniforms are often defined as apparel that are purchased by enterprises and are given to employees to provide durability and safety for the work environment and nature of business. The complex make-up of wool provides numerous benefits, many of which are suited to manual work. Benefits related for this type of workwear include insulation, comfort, durability, and flame resistance.

Safe and protect
In uncertain times and above all at the workplace, desire for assurance of protection and reassurance from our garments is stronger than ever. Fabrics become a new means for a practical, functional, utilitarian wardrobe. Wool's inherent performance and technical benefits makes it a fit for a new, functional textiles range.
ISO certified
A selection of wool fabrics which are ISO certified. ISO is the international standard that describes the best way of doing something. For improving employee safety, reducing workplace risks and creating better, safer working conditions, ISO is the perfect assurance for protection and health.
Strength and resistance
Wool is combined with very high tenacity fibres from aramid fibres to Dyneema® and Spectra®, to create jerseys and fabrics that are lightweight and at the same time extremely resistant to heat, abrasion, cutting and tearing.
High visibility
The right clothing choice could be fundamental when talking about safety at workplace. High visibility apparel is clothing that workers can wear to improve how well other people see them. Combined with wool this selection represents the perfect direction to ensure both safety and performance.
Flame retardant
A selection of wool fabrics and jersey combined in blends with Protex, an inherently flame resistant modacrylic fibre that enhances finished fabrics with flame extinguishing benefits.
Additional protection
Whether it is a 100% wool padding or a yarn that blends by combining with the wool fibre at certain temperatures, giving it greater resistance and consistency, the possibility of having reinforcements in workwear items is an incontrovertible necessity.
Breathability
Wool fibres are naturally breathable. They can absorb large quantities of moisture vapour and allow it to evaporate, making wool garments feel less clingy and more comfortable than garments made from other fibres. These characteristics are perfect for next-to-skin garments to wear even in stressful conditions.
Health & Prevention
Technical and performance-driven innovations are the keywords when talking about health and prevention. The pandemic has accelerated the needto feel healthy and protected, particularly in working conditions. Antiviral and antimicrobial treatments are applied to wool surfaces to ensure both safety and comfort at the same time.
The work uniform / Workaday
Wool is the perfect partner to dress you during the working day, with its sweat absorption, breathability, and resistance properties, it is suitable for all kinds of workwear garments, from lightweight jerseys for the base layer to trousers and overalls, an overlaying of performing garments.
Denim high resistance
The rise of dependable workwear is interpreted here by a wool denim selection. Denim looks represent the perfect icon when talking about workwear. Blended with wool with the desire to create an high resistant selection of rugged fabrics designed to face even the toughest conditions.
