Production Status
Status as of 1 September 2025 --- Ralph
In short: ALL SYSTEMS GO! But never as fast as I would like because for us, processing raw wool into finished garments takes over a year, up to 30 months.
We have purchased two looms of our own, and hope to have them online before the end of 2025. This will help us move a lot faster.
We are always working on more items. As of now, we are working on:
- CPOs in our 100% Wool Denim. A lot of these in stock now and more coming soon
- Chore Coats in Denim Moss Green. Lots in Charcoal, Indigo, Walnut and Natural White Colors in stock already, with more Moss Green coming
- HoodOraks ... first run will ship soon! An array of our Denim colors
- Five-Pocket Vest ... first run will ship soon and this is not yet even on the website. This will be all in Denim Charcoal
- Blazer ... this is our first Blazer ever. Not yet on website. This run all in Denim Charcoal
- Cargo Shorts ... Also our first run ever, also in Denim Charcoal. And these are actually complete, but I need to get them listed on the website. I've been slammed for a while ...
- Al's Anorak in MidWeight Lynx Pattern in production and shipping by the end of October. Some other Anoraks on hand and shipping now
- Whipcord Shirts in Drab Green. Whipcord is a new Fabric for us ... 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, as are all our Fabrics
If you want something we are working on, please order online or by phone. If you want something not in production, please place a SHIP ASAP backorder (a reservation) by phone or email to Ralph@WeatherWool.com
Everything we do is based on our Fabric, which we make ourselves:
- Fabric Batch 10 has been completed, and lots of garments made. We still have enough Denim, almost all in Charcoal, to make a few hundred more garments.
- Fabric Batch Innes-1 is in process and the very first yardage -- MidWeight Lynx Fabric, has been completed. Al's Anoraks up first, then probably Hooded Jackets. Next Fabrics on the schedule are MidWeight Drab, MidWeight Black, FullWeight Lynx, FullWeight Drab, FullWeight Black.
- Fabric Batch 13 and Batch Innes-2 are in the works ... greasy wool purchased and processing scheduled to begin in October
Our Production Backstory page gives some more info about why we have been so low on inventory.
Something else ... some people may think our spotty inventory reflects a lack of commitment on our part. It's a natural enough assumption to make, I guess, but it's not the case. We are ready, willing, able and absolutely eager to commit enough time, energy and capital to make a great many garments. But there is still very little American factory capacity to turn our very specialized raw wool into our very custom finished Fabric and garments. And it's routine that some sizes/Fabric will be complete reserved before production is complete, so they never show as "In Stock Now". But all our Partners are up and running and the production situation is steadily improving.
Thank You for your patience, and for working with us!
