Mens Red/Green/Black/Stone Check 100% wool, not lined - Small, Med, Large

A$390.00

Lucky me (and lucky you), I brought this fabric back from Canada. It is a vintage Italian 100% wool, 1970's. My supplier in western Canada brought it back from eastern Canada from a man who lost it in his warehouse. Yes, lost it. He did not remember he had it and found it after many years when he was retiring and selling his remaining stock.

It is not heavy like a blanket wool but is nice and soft, not lined, and with the slight fluffy pile toward the inside for warmth and comfort. It is a medium weight fabric. The checks are red, green, black on a stone coloured background. If you need a simple warm layer for over pjs or over your clothing, this is a contender. It is available in Small, Medium and Large.

There is no lining on this dressing gown. It is a simple wrap and tie with big patch pockets at the front, which are lined in cotton so they don't bag out. I know you like to put things in your pockets, but we don't want them to look like saddle bags.

There was a tiny bit of shrinkage when I hand washed this fabric so I am going to recommend dry cleaning for it.

For those of you who are not familiar with wool, it does not have to be washed often. It is stain resistant and can be spot cleaned. I will send along instructions. Unless you are very messy, then dry-cleaning is only recommended when necessary, maybe once at the end of the season, before you store the dressing gown for the next winter.

If you are confused or are unable to work out your size, please email me and I will help you. My sizes are cut very generously, so you will likely be in a smaller size than you normally are.

These measurements are of the garment laying flat on the table overlapped at the front by 15cm or 6”. They are NOT of the person wearing the dressing gown.

They are all limited edition and bespoke pieces. I have no more of this fabric and cannot make to order, unfortunately.  


*There are two large patch pockets at the front hemline. 


*Simple wrap and tie, no lining  


*The entire length of the front edges of the robe and around the collar is top stitched by hand, similar to a mens hand made suit, so that the collar edges do not roll and always lay flat. 


*100% wool, soft and slightly textured on the outside, and slightly fluffy on the inside, on the light side of medium weight and a very warm layer

*Vintage Italian 100% wool from the 1970’s

*Shaping at the waist can be achieved with the tie belt
