LADIESWEAR COLLECTION
Historically inspired by the heathers and gorses of the Scottish hillside, Ladieswear tweeds are distinctive and unique in many ways.
Each fabric has been carefully created with colour, weave and texture in mind. The intimate use of colour, the fusion of multiple, exotic fibres and the intricate interlacing constructions enhance the fabrics appearance, drape and handle, giving each and every one of them their very own unique signature.

SHERRY STRETCH
Comprising solid plains, stripes, glen checks and small neat designs, Sherry Stretch is a high-performance range of fabrics and a practical choice for those who are constantly on the go.
Lycra® is a synthetic fibre characterised by its exceptional elasticity and its ability to stretch up to six times its original length. For this reason, only a small percentage of Lycra® is required to transform a rigid piece of cloth into something more yielding.
Component Lycra® fabrics are celebrated for their light weight and breathable nature, providing superior comfort when worn.
When blended with wool, Lycra offers excellent crease recovery properties, improves overall durability and aids performance. Garments retain their shape and their overall appearance is preserved. Unforgiving crumple zones are reduced and sagging elbows, knees and pant seats become non-existent.
The fabrics in this collection are woven from merino wool, and benefiting from 2% Lycra®, they stretch and move in line with the body, are comfortable to wear and fit impeccably.

ENGLISH MOHAIRS
Holland & Sherry’s English Mohair collection includes a selection of superfine wool/mohair blended qualities and offers a quintessential collection of colour woven plains. English Mohair cloth feels dry, crisp and smooth: it is cool to wear and ideal for humid environments.
The fabrics have been developed exclusively by Holland & Sherry and are renowned for holding their shape when tailored into beautiful bespoke pieces; perfect for a stylish business image in a hot climate, or an intimate summer wedding on the beach.
This collection provides a choice of plain weave fabrics that allow the body to breathe, the reason for its excellent ergonomic performance.

Benefits of mohair
The benefits of adding mohair to a fabric are endless, a few of which are as follows:
✔ It is very receptive to dye, which results in richer, more vibrant colours
✔ It produces a fabric with intense lustre and sheen
✔ It produces a fabric that will hold and retain its shape
✔ It produces a cloth that is durable and comfortable to wear
✔ It produces a cloth that is easy to tailor, mould and manipulate into some of the finest garments ever created

MESH & HOPSACK BLAZERS
The iconic and versatile blazer – recognised as the standalone jacket, is most frequently worn with “chino style” trousers typifying sartorial elegance all over the world.
Its versatility allows for almost unlimited looks and styles – double or single-breasted front; black or navy blue in colour, or more fashionably, a bold exhibition of coloured stripes or prints. Detail and personalisation may be enhanced further by a decorative crest emblem on the breast pocket and gilt or enamelled buttons, often displaying a naval, military or sporting theme.
For this collection, the two qualities selected typify the modern blazer. Constructed from a traditional hopsack or open mesh structure, both qualities offer a relaxed and more comfortable approach to the traditional blazer. For the open structure to be appreciated fully, many prefer an unlined, unstructured garment that allows air to flow through the fabric more freely, making this collection the ideal choice for warm, humid climates.
The extensive colour palette offers a wide range of soft tone-on-tone colour, from classic blue to contemporary teal.
This influential and timeless classic instantly transforms any look from casual to smart. It is the most versatile garment of any wardrobe that will never go out of style.

CRISPAIRE
Crispaire first made its debut over 30 years ago and is still very much in demand. Before the advancement of technical yarns and high-twist alternatives, Crispaire was one of the first qualities developed for the purpose of business travel. Its coarse yarn count, traditional plain weave structure and unrefined handle produce a cloth that is full bodied, durable and bounces back into shape effortlessly when crumpled.
Now a popular and reliable core fabric within the Holland & Sherry collection, Crispaire fabrics have many recognisable key qualities appreciated by the artisan tailor.
The full-bodied crimp of the merino wool offers exceptional recovery properties, that produce a natural, high performance, crease-resistant fabric perfect for modern day business attire.
The Crispaire collection offers bold and uncompromising statement pieces, that will look forever new. Its timeless appeal produces a suit with crisp, pristine lines that will always look impeccable, no matter what the journey entails.

AZURE
This collection of lightweight summer suiting fabrics is woven from a 17-micron, Super 130’s wool. The panama construction; more commonly known as plain weave, lends itself to warm, sunny climates. The balanced open structure allows air to circulate and moisture to evaporate through the ultra-fine micron wool fibres, keeping the body cool, dry and comfortable.
The colour and design of each cloth has been carefully selected and depicts the most popular shades of blue, in a variety of tonal, contrasting, contemporary checks, stripes and semi-plain designs.
Checked fabrics are a popular feature in our collection, and whilst they may not be the sartorial choice for the traditional city gent, their continued popularity provides an opportunity to develop unique statement pieces, synonymous with bespoke tailoring.
The name Azure is the inspiration behind the collection, evoking images of all things blue. This season we have added a small selection of neutral shades, that are just as summery, and may be of interest to those who are not as “blue minded”.
The Azure collection with its infinite shades of blue is sure to exceed all expectation, offering a blue option for every occasion. From the sun-filtered haze of the palest blue to the leaden mist of a cloud filled sky, Azure is the go-to collection for those statement pieces when you want to be noticed and for the understated classics when you want to blend in.
Whatever the choice, we believe this collection of popular blues and complimentary designs will be an accomplished success.
