Historically high twist fabrics could come across a tad scratchy. They have always performed well but not always had the most pleasurable tactile response. Often feeling a little board like and rigid.

It's been something we've been trying to solve, the issue of picking cloth with structure, breathability and performance, that is a lot softer, more pliable and more pleasurable against the skin.

It's something we felt that Airesco by Holland and Sherry could achieve so set about putting it to work….

Crispaire is a 10oz cloth rooted in the mid weight category with a firm, crisp handle (hence the name?). It struck me as very similar to Dugdale’s excellent New Fine Worsted but with a slight, but noticeable push on the design side. However the bunch feels like it was designed by tailors, for tailors, with an emphasis on quality, which feels like a very English trait. In this regard the styles are slightly more reserved but with room for some more exciting colours towards the back.
