Wool Melton Cloth Fabric

for Historic Clothing - Military Uniforms - Renaissance and Religious Order Cloaks - Pea Coats - Winter Overcoats
- Santa Claus Suits - School Jackets - Wool accents on leather bags  

Excellent wool broadcloth fabric is now available. This wool weighs 24 oz/ linear yard, and is an incredible 60 inches (1.524 m.) in loom width. The 24 oz weight was used for both civilian and military outer garments. There are a number of wools produced on the market today, but almost all are made in a suiting weight (16oz to 21oz) and are too light for winter, sea or other heavy coating or cloaks.
 

Price:   PRESENTLY SOLD OUT Minimum order: 5 yards per colour Product code: WOOL1

Question: I have seen this wool fabric before for over $60 per yard. How come you can offer it for so much less?
Answer: Through a special arrangement with the mill, we have our wool sent directly to the client from the mill thus saving on warehousing and shipping costs. We then pass those savings on to you.

(Note: While this fabric is often sold as 100% wool by some retailers, this wool cloth has a minor nylon content, especially at edge to aid the machine to better grab the wool when it is being produced 80/20. )
