From Italy into the world – the history of Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino
As with many global brands, the history of the Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino cloth mill begins rather modestly. Founded in Strona in northern Italy, the company focused from the very beginning on making high-quality wool fabrics. In the small town of Strona in the Piedmont region, wool weaving is a traditional trade that has been practiced for centuries, not least thanks to the excellent water quality of the river Strona.
With the economic upturn of the 1960s the brand Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino became better known, for it supplies the most renowned Italian ateliers and delivers its products mainly to tailoring workshops which make the fabrics into the elegant menswear that became so popular in the 1960s.
Since 2008 the company has belonged to the Marzotto Group, the largest textile group in Europe. Through this merger, Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino can carry its traditional values all over the world thanks to the extensive network of the Marzotto Group.
The art of weaving has been passed on from one generation to the next over time. To this day, people from the region work on fabric production at Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino and make an essential contribution to the company's success. Pride in this historical heritage and the passion for precise and careful weaving make the fabrics the most popular far beyond the borders of Italy. In 2013, for example, Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino won the second Fabric No. 1 Award from Saks Fifth Avenue, an internationally recognized distinction for excellent fabric quality.
Italian fabrics of the finest quality for your made-to-measure suit
For centuries northern Italy has been regarded as the cradle of high-quality fabrics for menswear. Wool production is lived and handed down here as cultural heritage, thanks to particularly pure water from the Alps and the use of the best wool.
The factory of Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino stands today in Biella, in a particularly green valley in which wool fabrics have been made for centuries. Fine wool from Australia, soft cashmere from the Middle East, mohair from South Africa and precious silk blends are processed here into the elegant fabrics that give the label “made in Biella” its value.
With a made-to-measure men's suit in fabrics from Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino you get a true piece of quality, because the Italians are proud of their unique, discerning style. In matters of fashion above all they make no compromises: fabrics and clothing “made in Italy” always mean perfection, design and love.
The fabrics of Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino
For excellent fabric quality the brand places particular value on the selection of the best raw materials. Only from these is the finest fabric made, in an elaborate production process. For a men's suit you can choose from a broad product range and adapt it to your wishes:
Merino wool
At Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino the merino wool comes from Australia and New Zealand. The light wool fabric is elegant and insulates against humidity, which makes it particularly suitable for suits that are worn in autumn or winter.
The versatility of the fiber guarantees you maximum comfort: thanks to its thermoregulating properties you will not break into a sweat even during a wedding dance. Merino wool can therefore also be used for a wedding suit.
Cashmere
This refined material travels from the high plateaus of China and Mongolia to the looms of Italy. Its well-known soft structure gives cashmere its luxurious feel and makes your made-to-measure suit something quite special.
Cashmere is one of the finest and most expensive natural fibers and is very light. Since it holds warmth well against the body, the material is suitable for jackets and trousers that are to be worn in winter. Thanks to its hygroscopic properties, cashmere also provides a pleasant feel at warm temperatures. This means that the fabric stores the moisture produced by the skin in the fiber and releases it to the outside. Cashmere will therefore give you an excellent feel at warmer temperatures as well.
Mohair
Mohair is obtained from the hair of angora goats and impresses with its stylish sheen and high resistance. Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino sources its material from the most renowned farms in South Africa, where the mohair is particularly light, uniform and pure.
Mohair is robust, elegant and crease-resistant, which makes it excellently suited to the making of your suit. We recommend it if you prefer a smooth and lustrous feel.
Silk
Probably the most precious fabric of all is produced at Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino in an elaborate process, which results in exceptionally high-quality silk fabrics.
As a natural fiber, Italian silk has a unique, pleasant feel. If you decide on a men's suit in silk, you get a soft, elegant and extremely light suit that is the perfect choice especially in summer.
Linen
This natural fiber is particularly breathable, as it absorbs moisture and releases it into the environment. That makes for an incomparably light feel, which pays off on warm days. At the same time linen protects against UV rays and is extremely durable. Fratelli Talloa Di Delfino sources the raw material from the Netherlands and Lithuania, where European standards apply in production.
We recommend a linen suit if you value high wearing comfort and good thermoregulation. Linen can also be a good choice for summer made-to-measure shirts.
Sustainability at Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino
At Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino people come first. This applies both to the employees who help write the history of the brand every day and to the customers who want an environmentally compatible product that brings them unqualified pleasure.
To that end Fratelli Tallia Di Delfino monitors its production chain from the first to the last step. Respect for people and nature determines what it does: certifications of the raw materials ensure that all ethical standards are adhered to and can be traced.
Reducing the environmental impact is also close to the company's heart. The production of the fabrics has thus been certified to standards such as ISO 14001, Associazione Tessile e Salute and ZDHC, which are an international standard in environmental management. For you this means sustainable fashion from fair production – and in the finest quality.
