Holland & Sherry

Holland & Sherry fabrics represent nearly two centuries of British textile excellence, offering an extensive and prestigious collection sourced from the finest natural fibers. Known for their quality, durability, and diverse range of patterns and textures, they are a favored choice for bespoke tailors worldwide seeking distinctive and luxurious cloths.

Holland & Sherry offers a vast array of fabrics, so their characteristics span a wide range. Generally, their cloths are known for quality construction, implying good durability and structure with Durability 8/10, Wrinkle Resistance 7/10). Specific collections will vary greatly in lightness, drape, softness, and formality (like the example scores of 7/10, 7/10, 7/10, and 8/10 respectively), catering to everything from robust tweeds to lightweight summer suitings.

Garments made from Holland & Sherry fabrics range widely, including classic business suits, country tweeds (jackets, vests, trousers), luxurious cashmere blazers, durable trousers, elegant overcoats, and even formal wear depending on the specific cloth chosen from their extensive collections.

Fabric Characteristics Legend

Lightness (for Warmth): Refers to the fabric's weight and suitability for different temperatures. A higher score indicates a lighter fabric, better suited for warm climates or layering, while a lower score suggests a heavier, warmer fabric for cooler weather.

Durability: Measures the fabric's ability to withstand wear and tear over time. A higher score means the fabric is more robust and resistant to damage, making it suitable for garments worn frequently.

Drape: Describes how the fabric hangs and flows on the body. A higher score indicates a fabric that falls elegantly and contours well, often associated with luxury and fluidity. A lower score might suggest a stiffer, more structured fabric.

Breathability: Indicates how well the fabric allows air and moisture (like perspiration) to pass through. Higher scores mean better airflow, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable, especially in warm weather.

Wrinkle Resistance: Measures the fabric's tendency to resist creasing. A higher score means the fabric stays smoother during wear and requires less ironing.

Formality: Gauges the fabric's suitability for formal occasions versus casual wear. Higher scores are associated with fabrics typically used for business suits, evening wear, or important events, often having a smoother finish or subtle sheen. Lower scores lean towards more relaxed, everyday garments.

Softness: Refers to the tactile feel of the fabric against the skin. A higher score indicates a smoother, more luxurious, and comfortable feel.
