Fabric details: 70% Super 140’s Wool 30% Poly- Roger La Viale
Roger La Viale’s Wool & Poly Blend is a fabric that harmoniously combines the best of both worlds: the natural elegance of wool and the versatility of modern polyester. This unique blend, crafted with precision and expertise, showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.
What Makes This Fabric Stand Out?
- Reduced cost: The manufacturing cost of the item is reduced, but the inclusion of wool allows a higher price to be charged to the consumer.
- Better feel: Adding other fibers such as cotton or silk counterbalances the itchiness of wool and increases the item’s softness.
- Ease of care: Lowering the wool content by bringing in a synthetic fabric makes the item easier to wash and dry without special or delicate methods.
- Improved durability: Adding nylon or polyester to wool significantly increases the garment’s life by reducing pilling and shrinkage.
- Stretchability: The design of wool fibers doesn’t allow for much give-and-take. Adding synthetics or cotton to wool improves the ability of the item to stretch a bit as needed.
- Less weight: Adding lightweight synthetic fabrics help offset the natural heaviness of pure wool.
Care Instructions:
- Dry cleaning is typically the safest method for cleaning superfine wool garments.
- Professional dry cleaning helps maintain the fabric’s structure and minimizes the risk of shrinkage or damage.
- Keep them in a cool place and with cedar balls or lavender oil.
- As wool garments tend to collect moisture, therefore cover them with natural material like paper or cloth rather than plastic bags.
