Introduction:

Lazio District Checkis afirst-rate wool and viscose suiting, woven in Italy from the finest quality yarns. This stylish fabric boasts a wonderful handle and comes in a classic district check design.

Colour:

Boasting a palette of dark and sophisticated hues. The warp yarns combine alternating groups of black and dark denim melange yarn. The weft is then woven throughout with alternating navy/black and dark pine green. This clever combination of yarns produces a subtle dark grey/green hazy check with rich blue undertones like the forever-changing city sky over Rome.

Properties:

A subtleand lightly textured, none irritating feel, due to the viscose content, and weave of tightly twisted yarns. These yarns produce the characteristic lightly textured feel when combined with an almost basket-like weave formation. This light/mediumweight breathable suitingfabric has a reassuring so drape quality and is more resistant to creases!

Perfect for warmer climates and seasons where you still have to look smartly attired. The close weave, when held to the light, has visible air pockets between the yarns, and it is this strong and clever construction that makes tropical-type suitings perfect for warmer seasons and climates.
