The fabric is the first in the world to be woven from 100% worsted vicuña. Vicuña, as you may recall,
is the world’s most expensive wool and can only be shorn from the
animal once every three years. The cloth can be purchased in three
different colors—natural, midnight and black.
Unfortunately
for Holland and Sherry, their offering, priced at £3,000 (US $4,319)
per yard, falls somewhat short of being the world’s most expensive
fabric.
Scabal—whose clients include Bill Clinton, Daniel Craig, Robert DeNiro and Jack Nicholson—announced their expensive fabric a mere eight months before Holland and Sherry announced theirs. Also made of vicuña, Scabal has gone one step further by weaving gold into the cloth. The result is the Gold Treasure range, priced at £4,000 (US $5,759) per meter—that works out to $1,755 per foot versus Holland and Sherry’s $1,439 per foot.
It can be purchased in charcoal, black or midnight blue.
