GOSTWYCK LIGHTWEIGHT

The quality of Gostwyck merino fibre is the result of over 180 years of expert selection of merino sheep producing finer, softer and whiter wool. Today the producers of the Gostwyck wool produce merino which is finer than most cashmere, and has been scientifically tested as the most comfortable natural fibre.

Animal treatment

With a three-day rotational grazing system in place, animal stress is eliminated and the use of harsh chemicals minimised. Pastures grow naturally to maximise high quality nutrition and sheep remain healthy and well nourished, and remain free from parasitic invasions.

Environmental sustainability

Major changes to grazing practices have seen a steady increase in the sustainability of soil health, pasture and water quality. The environment and ecology greatly benefit from these state-of-the-art grazing systems.

Sustainable merino productions

A balanced ecology and healthy environment have taken many years to accomplish. Careful and patient management has allowed the Gostwyck farm to implement sustainable grazing practices that benefit the environment, improve the eco-system and provide the best possible nutrition for the welfare and health for the Gostwyck sheep.

This collection is fully Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified. Products certified to the Responsible Wool Standard contain wool fibre from farms (independently) certified to animal welfare and land management requirements.

Summer Ascot

Summer Ascot is an all-wool range, comprising contemporary checks and windowpanes, suitable for both business and casual attire.

Benefits of choosing a fabric from Summer Ascot:

✔ All fabrics are woven from a plain weave construction making them the perfect choice for the summer months.

✔ The plain weave construction produces a fabric much lighter in weight than those woven with a conventional twill.

✔ The construction and weight keep the body fresh and cool in warm climates.

✔ For many, at 250gm the fabrics in this collection are the ideal all-year-round choice for most climates.

✔ The wool micron is 20.5μ providing strength and durability.

✔ The yarn used is a 60/2 new metric yarn in both warp and weft directions allowing for a full, well-rounded handle. This bold handling yarn also lends itself to good drape and crease resistance properties.

✔ These qualities allow the fabrics to be tailored with ease, and makes them a pleasure to wear.

The luxury fabrics from our Summer Ascot collection are an essential component of every wardrobe.

Crystal Springs

Crystal Springs luxury jacketing for Spring/Summer 2023 is an updated collection of window-pane and mock glen-check designs in a range of attractive colours, including fashionable, contemporary tones that complement the familiar classics.

Woven from a plain weave or a twill construction in compositions of wool, silk and linen blends, we are certain that this collection of luxury jacketing fabrics will suit all tastes.

Ingeniously, when the blended yarns are dyed, each yarn reacts differently to the colour impressed upon it. The result is a unique palette of harmonious hues that when woven together and expertly tailored, produce a collection of statement pieces for a fresh and striking summer look.

Wool-silk-linen blends produce fabrics with a crisper, more textured handle, and an inherent charm that is synonymous with a relaxed approach to bespoke tailoring.
