Our signature suiting fabric of DEPLOY’s Classic Line is crafted in the finest 100% tropical Merino Wool Gabardine of top-grade staple, woven and master piece-dyed by a renowned Japanese wool specialist founded in 1896. Celebrated for its exceptional quality and rigorous environmental standards, the mill operates its integrated vertical supply chain from yarn spinning and weaving to dying and finishing through its closed-loop water conservation system; quality-controlled at each step with stringent strength, colour-fastness and light exposure testing.
The result is a superbly refined mid-weight (196 g/m²) cloth with a smooth yet firm hand; offering a beautiful drape whilst keeping the structure for fine-tailoring. Its quality and consistency maintain the jet black at 100% without shade differences between dye lots. So your DEPLOY classic black suiting pieces purchased from a decade ago will stand the test of time and match your new pieces from today perfectly.
Suitable for all seasons, our Gabardine is naturally temperate-regulating and odour-resistant, making it extraordinarily low maintenance: simply hang and ventilate after wear to reduce dry-cleaning; keeping things simple, sophisticated and sustainable. That’s why it’s an all-time favourite that customers return to year-after-year, and the only black suiting fabric of DEPLOY for 20 years.
