Wool fabrics available for custom orders



Current fabric swatches available to customers purchasing custom knickers only. We always carry black wool gabardine.

Wool is hands down the best fabric for cycling. Synthethics only aspire to what wool does naturally. It wicks moisture, is insulating in hot of cold weather, is antimicrobial and anitbacterial, and can be very comfortable against the skin. We are mammals, too, and wool has evolved and been cultivated to be the best fiber for our clothing. Occasionally, a human is allergic or otherwise sensitive to it. We often stock other natural fiber fabrics as well, such as cotton, silk and hemp. Email us for a list of these fabrics.
