Italian fabric manufacturer Loro Piana combines all these qualities. At Maßkonfektion C. Weilert, we want to tailor fashion for our customers that inspires them and meets their high standards. To this end, we select our partners very carefully. Loro Piana is one of the most luxurious fabric manufacturers we would like to recommend to you.
Loro Piana fabrics for men
As a weaving mill, Loro Piana has identified three key areas for which it requires excellent raw materials: furniture, knitwear, and, of course, clothing. To this end, the brand sources its goods from various regions around the world to manufacture luxury products for domestic and international markets. In addition to cashmere and merino wool, these also include cotton and linen.
Loro Piana cashmere
Cashmere from Loro Piana is one of the rarest and most luxurious fabrics in existence and is the brand's flagship product. 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 thus provides excellent warmth. 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 available. It is surpassed only by the wool of young cashmere goats. These produce baby cashmere wool, which is very limited in availability, as the young goats can only be sheared once in their lives, at the age of six months, before they develop the coat of an adult goat. Only 30 grams of 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 only 250 grams per meter and is made from wool sourced from the small island of Tasmania off the coast of Australia. To this day, the term Tasmanian® has even become synonymous in Italian with fine, very soft, and flowing wool. The wool is particularly well suited for suits worn outdoors 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 exclusive spinning and weaving techniques, this raw wool is transformed into a soft, durable fabric that is designed to withstand even stressful situations. This makes Loro Piana merino wool for men a good choice for suits, especially wedding suits, but also coats.
Black Sheep®– Wool from black Merino sheep
Pecora Nera® is the result of 20 years of breeding the ancient Black Merino sheep breed. A New Zealand farmer dedicated himself to preserving this breed and restored the original color and texture of the wool through selective 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 its excellent insulation against the cold.
Llama hair from the Andes – Loro Piana Vicuña
The luxurious vicuña wool is obtained from wild llamas in the Peruvian Andes. Since each animal only yields about 200 grams of raw wool every two years, vicuña is one of the most valuable fabrics for men's fashion. Llama hair is particularly soft and breathable, as it must protect the animals from the cold and wind at altitudes of over 4,000 meters.
Adapted to every situation – The Loro Piana fabric system
At Loro Piana, we are constantly researching the best fabrics and how to process them. The company has designed its own system line, in which classic, natural fabrics are processed into hyperfunctional materials using 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 applied to the back of the fabrics, where they provide reliable protection against wind, water, and rain and ensure a comfortable fit. These membranes are very thin, breathable, and elastic, making them barely noticeable and allowing maximum freedom of movement. To be prepared for any situation, the brand has developed various fabric systems:
Rain System®
These membranes make it possible to render 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 fabric's service life.
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 consist of only a single layer of material.
Green Storm System®
This system is particularly environmentally friendly and protects the fibers from environmental influences. It includes the Rain System® and a biological, hydrophilic membrane consisting of a unique polyurethane fiber containing more than 50% biodegradable plant-based materials. This makes fabrics waterproof and windproof, highly breathable, and biologically compatible.
Clima System®
This innovative system provides unparalleled thermal protection. 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 fit, as it distributes body heat eight times faster than other membranes from Loro Piana. 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 its impact on nature. This includes protecting local water supplies, using solar energy, and employing a manufacturing process in which every fiber is processed into high-quality fabric. For you, this means elegant Loro Piana clothing made from high-quality fabric without harming the environment.
