About Pilot Cloth

Pilot Cloth is a pile-napped fabric typically constructed from wool fibers. The brushing process creates a soft, fuzzy surface that enhances thermal insulation and provides a luxurious hand feel. This fabric is often used in the production of jackets, coats, and other outerwear due to its ability to retain heat while remaining breathable. The napped surface also adds a degree of water resistance and windproof characteristics, making it suitable for various outdoor applications.
