The Italian fabric manufacturer Loro Piana combines all of these things. At Maßkonfektion C. Weilert , we want to tailor fashion that inspires our customers and meets their high standards. To achieve this, we select our partners very carefully. Loro Piana is one of the most luxurious fabric manufacturers that we would like to recommend to you.
Loro Piana fabrics for men
As a weaving mill, Loro Piana has defined three main areas for which it requires excellent raw materials: Furniture, knitwear and, of course, clothing. The brand sources its fabrics from different parts of the world to make luxurious products for the domestic and international markets. In addition to cashmere and merino wool, this also includes cotton and linen.
Loro Piana cashmere
Loro Piana cashmere is one of the rarest and most luxurious fabrics of all and is the brand's flagship. The raw material comes from goats in Mongolia and northern China, where winters are harsh and cold and summers are dry. In order to survive, the goats have developed a particularly robust yet soft coat. The undercoat consists of very fine hair, which reduces heat exchange and is therefore particularly warm. The fabric made from this wool is incomparably soft and supple and is ideal for suits, coats and jackets.
Baby cashmere
Cashmere wool is already one of the softest materials of all. It is only surpassed by the wool from young cashmere goats. They produce baby cashmere wool, which is in very limited supply as the young goats can only be shorn once in their lives, at the age of six months, before they get the coat of an adult goat. Only 30 grams of the raw wool can be spun, about one sixth of that of an adult animal. This makes baby cashmere a particularly luxurious material for your suit.
Tasmanian wool - Tasmanian®
This lightweight wool fabric became extremely popular in the 1960s. It weighs just 250 grams per meter and is made from wool from the small island of Tasmania off the Australian coast. To this day, the term Tasmanian® has even become synonymous in Italian with fine, very soft and flowing wool. The wool is particularly suitable for suits that are worn outside and for warm coats.
Merino wool - Loro Piana Zelander®
Loro Piana Zelander® is made from a very robust fiber that comes from New Zealand Merino sheep. Thanks to an exclusive spinning and weaving technique, this raw wool is turned into a soft, durable fabric that is made to withstand stressful situations. This makes Loro Piana merino wool for men a good choice for suits, especially wedding suits, but also coats.
Pecora Nera® - Wool from black Merino sheep
Pecora Nera® is the result of 20 years of breeding the old Black Merino sheep breed. A New Zealand farmer has dedicated himself to the preservation of this breed and has restored the original color and texture of the wool through targeted breeding. Pecora Nera® is a very soft, lightweight wool that is comfortable to wear and very durable. Loro Piana fabric made from Pecora Nera® varies in natural, dark tones and is characterized by very good insulation against the cold.
Llama hair from the Andes - Loro Piana Vicuña
The precious vicuña wool is obtained from wild llamas in the Peruvian Andes. As each animal only produces around 200 grams of raw wool every two years, vicuña is one of the most valuable fabrics for men's fashion. The llama hair is particularly soft and has good breathability, as it has to protect the animals from the cold and wind at an altitude of over 4,000 meters.
Adapted for every situation - The Loro Piana fabric system
Loro Piana is constantly researching the best fabrics and their processing. The company has developed its own system line in which classic, natural fabrics are processed into hyper-functional materials with the help of exclusive processing methods and additional, highly effective membranes. This enables a new generation of comfortable, soft fabrics that combine elegance and functionality.
The membranes developed by Loro Piana for men are attached to the back of the fabrics, where they provide reliable protection against wind, water and rain and make them comfortable to wear. These membranes are very thin, breathable and elastic, so they are barely noticeable and allow maximum freedom of movement. The brand has developed various fabric systems to be prepared for any situation:
Rain System®
These membranes make it possible to make any natural fabric water-repellent. This protects the fabric from rain and also makes it resistant to dust, dirt and stains, which visibly extends the life of the fabric.
Storm System®
The Storm System goes one step further than the Rain System®. It protects the fibers from all elements and is waterproof, windproof and breathable. It was specially developed for fabrics that only consist of a single layer of fabric.
Green Storm System®
This system is particularly environmentally friendly and protects the fibers from environmental influences. It contains the Rain System® and a biological, hydrophilic membrane consisting of a unique polyurethane fiber and containing more than 50% degradable, plant-based materials. This makes fabrics waterproof and windproof, highly breathable and biocompatible.
Clima System®
This innovative system provides unparalleled thermal insulation. It combines fine natural fibers with a graphene membrane. Graphene is the thinnest material in the world and is particularly good at retaining body heat. It guarantees a comfortable feel, as it distributes body heat eight times faster than other Loro Piana membranes. Men who spend a lot of time outdoors also benefit from the water and wind-repellent membrane.
Environmental protection at Loro Piana
In addition to excellent fabric quality, Loro Piana focuses on the efficient use of natural raw materials and minimizing the impact on nature. This includes the protection of local water supplies, the use of solar energy and a manufacturing process in which every fiber is processed into a high-quality fabric. For you, this means: elegant Loro Piana clothing made from high-quality fabric without causing environmental damage.
