New printed linings | Permalink Forward to a friend   |
Scabal is pleased to present you a new summer jacket with a series of monochrome fabrics, the warmth is in the textures and shades of this cotton, linen and wool and other typical Scabal blends. As these jackets seem discreet on the outside, they are a welcome surprise on the inside. To spice up this summer, we created rich, colourful linings. Two colour prints in light blue or taupe on white or funky four colour paisleys, this season is about daring accents and trendy contrasts. Exclusively made in Como, Italy, these vivid patterns were printed on fine satin cotton. They can be used for Scabal's Made For You line as full or halve linings, contrasting edge, under collar fabric, pocket lining or hanky. These spicy prints bring lively personalization to the men's summer wardrobe. |  |

Scabal Spring Summer 2010 collections | Permalink Forward to a friend  |
Tailoring with a twist Scabal is presenting an ode to the art of the couturier for the summer of 2010. Know-how, many years of experience and a dedication to personal service are the pillars of these “artists of male elegance”. Think of Savile Row, a world of fabrics and needles, an age-old craftsmanship combined with today's creativity. All this lavished with a modern, surrealistic touch. New for this season is the “false three-button” jacket: the jacket has 3 buttons but looks like a two-button jacket thanks to the rolling lapel that covers the top button. >> Send an ecard / photo to a friend

Treasure Box: gold and platinum | Permalink Forward to a friend  |
| Scabal is always raising the bar when it involves luxury and technical know-how. One of the more carefully guarded secrets is the procedure Scabal uses for incorporating gold into its fabrics. Now the luxury fabric producer has used the very latest techniques to incorporate platinum and 24-carat gold into a new fabric collection called “Treasure Box”. The first Scabal cloth with gold was “Gold Treasure”, a fabric incorporating 22-carat gold, and was launched in 1999. The continuing demand meant the collection was re-launched in 2005 with new designs. Gold fever has obviously struck Scabal and they are now launching an ultra fine Super 150’s wool from an exceptional bale of Australian merinos wool in which precious metals are incorporated. |  |

Pure worsted vicuna | Permalink Forward to a friend  |
In the luxury segment, Scabal has once again raised the bar by developing suit fabrics in vicuña, a technical achievement that is the fruit of years of research and development. Vicuña is one of the softest and finest types of wool available. Because the wool is so fine, it was technically impossible to process it into suit-quality fabric. Scabal has now successfully overcome this challenge. The fibres of the combed vicuña wool have to be sorted according the length first, before they can be spun into yarn. The Scabal fabrics made from vicuña make up a small collection in classic patterns. This exceptional fabric is naturally highly exclusive and luxurious yet exceedingly discreet. Only the trained eye of an expert can recognise it on sight, but its amazing lightness and softness are instantly apparent to the touch. |  |
