A visionary and avant-garde fabric that combines the iconic aesthetic of Denim with the sublime comfort and warmth of the finest wool. Created by the renowned F.lli Cerruti Wool Mill (founded in 1881 and today part of the prestigious Lanificio Piacenza Group), this fabric represents a genuine tailoring revolution: when worn, it delivers the authentic visual effect and weave of true denim while offering the warmth, softness and breathability typical of high-end pure wool.

Technical Specifications

• Premium Line: Cerruti iTravel / Oxygen Concept (a renowned production line celebrated in high fashion for its ability to reinterpret casual fabrics through a luxurious and technological approach).
• Manufacture: Lanificio Cerruti stock fabric (from haute couture production surplus – unbranded fabric, available from stock).
• Weight: 400 g/linear metre (substantial winter weight, heavy, full-bodied and highly structured).
• Effect & Colour: Authentic denim-inspired warp. A deep and vibrant interplay of indigo and blue-jeans tones, enhanced by the characteristic diagonal structure of sportswear cloth and a distinctly English-inspired texture with strong definition and considerable visual depth.

Distinctive Characteristics of the Fabric

• The Wool-Denim Revolution: Visually, it resembles an exceptionally refined denim, while to the touch it reveals a rich and pleasantly substantial texture. Inspired by the strength and character of traditional English cloth, the weave has a bold, tactile handle and completely eliminates the cold feel typically associated with classic winter cotton denim.
• Stretch Comfort: The 5% elastane incorporated into the weave provides outstanding flexibility. The fabric follows the body’s movements naturally without losing its shape or becoming slack, ensuring dynamic and highly comfortable garments from morning to evening.
• Heavy, Structured Handle: At 400 grams, this is a protective and highly substantial fabric. Its responsive, vigorous body holds a tailored crease and the shape of the garment beautifully, preventing it from appearing limp or lacking structure.

Recommended Uses – Fully Unisex Fabric

An ingenious reinterpretation for autumn and winter, ideal for creating a separates wardrobe or an urban-tailoring inspired look for both men and women:

• Sport-Chic Outerwear: Ideal for luxury winter parkas, distinctive jackets inspired by the classic denim jacket, contemporary pea coats and structured outerwear.
• Menswear Tailoring: Highly modern full suits for those seeking a more daring yet refined approach, distinctive separate jackets and warm, ultra-durable five-pocket winter trousers.
• Womenswear: Contemporary tailored suits with blazers and cigarette or palazzo trousers, structured denim-look skirts and exceptionally warm winter dresses.

Specialist Care and Maintenance

To preserve the elasticity of the fibre and the vibrancy of the indigo weave:

• Delicate dry cleaning at a specialist cleaner is recommended in order to preserve the structure and body of the wool.
• Do not bleach and do not tumble dry.
• Iron at a medium temperature, preferably using a protective pressing cloth to preserve the surface finish.
