Melton Wool is a dense, heavily fulled cloth famed for its wind-resistant and water-repellent properties, making it the premier choice for pea coats and varsity jackets.
What is Melton Wool Fabric?
Melton Wool Fabric is engineered using high-precision S and Z twist yarn weaving technology. It delivers an ultra-smooth, lightweight drape with balanced elasticity and rich color vibrancy. Garment manufacturers and couture designers specify Melton Wool Fabric for fluid silhouettes including lehengas, dupattas, evening gowns, and airy blouses.
