Fabric FAQ
Cloth, mills and Biella.
Where is Linea di Biella’s cloth woven?

What cloths can partners specify?
Wool flannel, high-twist fresco for warm climates, year-round worsteds, and pure linen — in solids, stripes, Glen checks and tonal jacquards. We guide each partner to the right weight and weave for their market and season.
Do partners choose the fabric, or do you?
Partners specify from our curated Biella swatch sets; we manage sourcing, quality control and stock. You get the cloth choice without the cost or risk of holding fabric inventory.
Is the “woven in Biella” fabric story verifiable?
Yes. Our cloth is woven in Biella from named, certified mills — the same houses covered in independent editorial like The Rake and Permanent Style. We can share mill references for any commission.
