Hardcore Luxury® -- Always 100% USA

As of 2023, the WeatherWool Color Palette includes Black, Brown, Drab (very similar to Military Olive Drab), Natural White and our own Proprietary Lynx Pattern

WeatherWool FullWeight and MidWeight Merino Jacquard Fabric

Description

I need to rename this page because as of March 2024, we are also offering Denim.  Our FullWeight and MidWeight Fabrics are Jacquard woven, but the Denim is a Dobby weave.

Our Fabrics are all 100% wool, 100% virgin wool, and 100% USA.

At present, we have in stock

  • FullWeight Drab and MidWeight Drab (not much, tho)
  • FullWeight and MidWeight Natural White
  • Denim ... in Denim Charcoal and Denim Indigo

We will have quite a bit more Fabric with Batch 9, already in process, and the Natural White has just been completed.  We'll have FullWeight Black and Brown and FullWeight and MidWeight Lynx Pattern before too much longer.

Our Natural White Fabrics are unbleached and undyed, and actually more of a cream color than true white ... the natural color of what the industry refers to as "white wool" or "white sheep".

Fabrics not in stock can be backordered without obligation (price set to 0) from this page.

A running yard is always 36 inches (91.4 cm) long:

  • Bolts of Denim are 60 inches (152 cm) wide with under 1/2 inch (1 cm) selvedge on each side
  • Bolts of MidWeight and FullWeight Fabric vary in width from 52 inches (132 cm) to 55 inches (140),  including about .75 inches (almost 2 cm) of selvedge on each side. The exact width varies a little from bolt to bolt even within a batch of the same Fabric because the bolts are "finished" separately.  The MidWeight Fabrics will have two or three bright-yellow non-wool yarns in the selvedge to distinguish them from FullWeight.  This yellow yarn can be pulled out if you want to use the selvedge

Orders for more than one yard are normally shipped as one piece.

(Incidentally, when people reference "weight" of woolen fabric, at least in USA, they are almost always referring to the weight of a running yard. But there is no standard width to a running yard, so comparisons are meaningless unless the weight is quoted as "ounces per square yard" (opsy) or "grams per square meter" (gsm). But anyway, weight does not indicate performance. Better fiber, spinning, weaving and finishing can offer greater performance and less weight.)

For detailed info about our Fabric please visit:

When we founded WeatherWool, fabric that met our specs was simply not available for purchase.  So we spent three years developing our own unique 100% Merino Jacquard Hardcore Luxury® Fabric, the foundation of our company. WeatherWool Fabric is chosen for luxury and fashion in the cityscape ... and chosen for performance in the most demanding of field conditions.

As of March 2024, we are offering WeatherWool Denim, which is made from the same fiber (same raw wool) as the Jacquard Fabrics, but the Denim is woven on a Dobby Loom rather than a Jacquard Loom ... the weaving is classic denim, very different from our Jacquard Fabric.  More info on the WeatherWool Denim page, linked above.

Selvedge, also known as selvage, is the “extra” fabric running along the edges of the entire length of a bolt of Fabric. The selvedge (originally "self-edge") contains the same premium yarn as the rest of the bolt, and it can be used, although it looks a little different. We used the selvedge in our Poncho, for example, and we used the width of the entire bolt of Fabric. Selvedge Denim has become extremely popular although this is a different meaning of the word Selvedge.

Fabric needs to be ordered by the whole yard (which is 36 inches / 91.4 cm). If you want partial yards, please phone.

Our Fabric is the heart of what we do, and has gained the attention of other clothing makers.  Whether you are a customer looking for a couple yards or a company thinking about a large quantity, please contact us directly if you are interested in using our Fabric. We have lately begun a Collaborations page on this website, and look forward to working more with others. Whether you are amateur or professional, we love hearing people's ideas for our Fabrics. 

Thank You! --- Ralph
