Fabrics and size guide

MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
The art of making the tabarro follows precise manufacturing rules that respect the dictates of ancient textile composition, enhancing the sartorial beauty of a completely handmade product.
Six meters of fabric are needed to make a long full-circle tabarro. They are cut in pairs, circling around a table, and then joined together with a single seam. The fabric is cut raw (if hemmed at the bottom it becomes a cloak), as tradition dictates, without a hem thanks to the broken twill weave, the most used for compact tabarro fabrics.
Made with carded wool, the fabrics – the weight cannot drop below 390-400 gr/m² – are the result of research on specifications from old wool mills as well as from our archive of tabarri dating from the early 1800s to the early 1900s. The colors offered are predominantly black and gray, as tradition requires. All collars are made using horsehair canvas as an internal reinforcement sewn according to a principle that allows the neck to gain consistency without losing movement, making it non-deformable.
