Frequently Asked Questions
Why is wool ideal for the Saudi climate?
Wool regulates temperature in both directions. Its fibres trap air to hold warmth on cold evenings, and they absorb and release moisture vapour, up to 35% of their weight, to keep the body cool indoors.
What do the Super numbers mean?
They are the international grade for fibre fineness. The higher the number, the finer the fibre:
- Super 120s17.75 microns or less
- Super 130s17.25 microns or less
- Super 150s16.25 microns or less
For comparison, a human hair is about 70 microns.
What are the differences between the four collections?
- Australian Fine A smooth everyday winter cloth.
- Australian Superfine A finer fibre with a lighter hand and a quiet sheen.
- Biella Virgin Wool An Italian flannel with a brushed surface and full winter body.
- Wool and Cashmere Fine wool with a share of cashmere for a softer touch.
The Italian collections are heavier cloths, and the last one includes cashmere, which is reflected in their price.
Why only natural fibres?
Wool absorbs moisture vapour while polyester absorbs under 1%, so natural fibre lets the body breathe. Cashmere, at about 15 microns, adds a finer fibre to the wool.
