Herringbone Wool

Our Herringbone Wool collection brings a refined, tailored edge to autumn and winter dressing. Woven from the finest Shetland wool in the timeless V-shaped pattern that gives the cloth its name, each jacket, coat and gilet is tailored in London exclusively for Manteaux. Understated yet distinctive, these are pieces designed to feel as good as they look, season after season.

Collection: Herringbone Wool

Herringbone takes its name from the skeleton of the herring fish, whose delicate bone structure the weave so closely resembles. Created by reversing the direction of a classic twill at regular intervals, it forms the distinctive broken V pattern that has made it a hallmark of fine tailoring for generations. Our herringbone is woven by Abraham Moon from the finest Shetland wool, giving each piece a richness and depth of texture made for the colder months.

There is good reason wool has been treasured for centuries. It absorbs dye deeply and uniformly for an infinite range of rich colours, while its natural elasticity resists creasing and helps garments hold their shape. Breathable and naturally all-season, it draws in moisture without ever feeling damp, keeping you comfortable in any weather. Hard-wearing, beautifully warm and kind to the environment, it remains one of the finest natural fibres in the world.
