Cheviot
Cheviot is a durable, woven wool fabric known for its warmth and resilience, often used in outerwear and tailored garments.
About Cheviot
Cheviot fabric is a type of woven wool characterized by its plain weave construction, which provides a sturdy and textured surface. Traditionally made from the wool of Cheviot sheep, this fabric is valued for its natural insulating properties, breathability, and durability. It typically features a slightly coarse texture, making it suitable for garments that require both warmth and structure, such as jackets, coats, and trousers. The fabric's ability to retain shape and resist creasing makes it a popular choice for tailored clothing.
