Discover Loro Piana Fine Woolens

For those who are interested in discovering more about luxurious, fine woolens by Loro Piana, read the following exerpt from the Loro Piana website.

Wool was the first natural fiber used for clothing and still remains among the most important fibres because of its hygroscopic, breathable and insulating characteristics.The most precious wool comes from the merino sheep, which originated in the Mediterranean coastal area but was introduced towards the end of the eighteenth century in Australia and New Zealand, where they found an ideal habitat.


The unwavering dedication of the breeders has led to significant results; today these sheep can produce a total of up to 10 kg of fine wool. After scrupulous checks and gradings, the wool is sold at auctions held each year from January to June in the various collection centres.Loro Piana purchases at these auctions the best lots, in particular the Top Line 1PP bales. Some of these lots have established true records of fineness, called Record Bales. From these bales Loro Piana manufactures exclusive fabrics in limited editions for the most discerning and refined consumers.In order to provide an incentive for the production of excellent raw materials, in 2000 Loro Piana established the "World Wool Record Challenge Cup". It acknowledges the professionalism of the breeders and rewards their commitment to produce wools of an increasingly superior quality.

Brightness, elasticity, resistance: these are the characteristics of Zelander, a family of fabrics for suits that are light, cool and particularly soft to the touch. They are obtained from a precious variety of merino wool from New Zealand. This shiny white fiber has a superior resistance and is exceptionally long in relation to its fineness. Available in limited quantities, this particular type of merino wool is the result of the breeders' professional understanding and dedication to quality combined with the ideal environmental conditions of New Zealand, a land still largely wild and uncontaminated, in which the flocks live.Loro Piana has further enhanced the distinctive properties of this fiber through the use of exclusive spinning and weaving techniques, transforming it into a range of modern, dynamic and highly wearable fabrics which ensure particular comfort for garments made only and exclusively from pure wool.

Execstyle offers several fine garments tailored using Loro Piana fabric and can custom tailor suits from a variety of these exceptional fabrics for you. Click the thumb nails for more information about each model.
