That Field Grey was not only a colour, it was camouflage, silence, strategy. In the heart of the Biellese area, the weavers of the Vitale Barberis Canonico woollen mill, and all over Valdilana, were weaving the futures of the soldiers at the front. A technical fabric, durable and unobtrusive which clothed the Italian army for forty years. Still today, in the woollen mill’s historical archives, this fabric lives on. A weave to tell the story of the deep bonds between industry, territory and history.⁠ Click on the link in bio to discover more.⁠ #VitaleBarberisCanonico #FabricTales #FieldGrey

Woollen fabrics combining the weight and fullness of an overcoat hand in a correspondingly large houndstooth design, maintaining discreet, reserved taste as a result of the low-contrast, dark colours proposed in both grey and green tones. #VitaleBarberisCanonico #Houndstooth

A grey houndstooth in pure wool can be particularly interesting in fabrics where the pattern is reduced in its dimensions to be recognisable only from close up, also called puppy’s tooth. The ideal effect for a classic suit in this design, but not excessively showy. #VitaleBarberisCanonico #Houndstooth

Houndstooth is one of best loved classic designs because of its infinite variations on a theme, such as the combination of three colours as proposed here in a play on cool light and dark blues together with burgundy, or in warmer colours such as brown, beige and light blue. #VitaleBarberisCanonico #Houndstooth

We are deeply saddened to bid farewell to Mr. Ing. Alberto Barberis Canonico, Chairman of the Board of Directors and recipient of the Order of Merit for Labour of the Italian Republic in 2018. As managing director - a role he held for many years with unwavering dedication and exceptional skill - he led the firm with a deep sense of humanity, always close to the people. Under his guidance, the company flourished, earning global recognition. He was a man of great vision and profound kindness, a true point of reference for us all. We remember him with affection and gratitude, surrounded by wool—the fibre he loved most.

Is there any better established icon than the grey flannel? Even more irresistible in the timeless, authoritative chalk stripe version.
