Velour Wolle

Velour Wool

Velour wool is recognised for its exceptionally soft surface and superior warmth, making it a highly sought-after material for cold-weather tailoring. Defined by its dense, brushed pile, this fabric provides a refined finish with a remarkably soft handle. It offers designers a substantial textile that drapes beautifully while maintaining structural integrity for winter outerwear.

Why choose deadstock velour wool fabrics?

Choosing deadstock velour wool supports a more responsible and circular approach to fashion production. By sourcing premium designer stock directly from high-end textile manufacturers, we ensure that perfectly woven materials are kept in use rather than being discarded.
These recovered treasures are maintained in pristine condition, offering the same exceptional quality as newly produced textiles. Utilising these limited stocks allows creators to access outstanding fabrics while actively reducing resource consumption and environmental impact within the industry.

Origin & characteristics

Velour wool undergoes a specific finishing process where the woven fabric is heavily milled, brushed, and closely sheared. This careful preparation creates a short, thick pile on the surface, entirely concealing the underlying weave. The result is a smooth, plush texture that is soft to the touch and visually rich, with a matte appearance that absorbs light beautifully.
Because of its dense construction, velour wool provides excellent insulation, making it naturally wind and cold resistant. Often crafted from pure virgin wool or high-quality wool blends, it possesses a medium to heavy weight. Despite its substantial feel, the fabric retains a fluid drape and is highly workable, allowing for clean lines and precise tailoring.

FAQ

What makes velour wool different from other wool fabrics?

Is velour wool warm enough for winter coats?

Yes, the dense construction and thick pile of velour wool trap heat effectively, making it highly insulating. It is widely considered one of the best choices for structured, heavy winter coats.

How should I care for velour wool garments?

To maintain the pristine condition and soft nap of velour wool, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Gently brushing the surface with a high-quality clothes brush will also help remove dust and keep the pile looking smooth.
