100% Thick Burel Wool (800g) in Brown Color
This noble fabric comes from Portugal, made from pure virgin wool from Serra da Estrela sheep, durable and very resistant. It was traditionally used to make warm and waterproof capes worn by shepherds who roamed the mountains of central and northern Portugal.
The extraordinary qualities of burel are due to a unique artisanal manufacturing process: once the wool is washed and treated, it is placed on the loom to be warped (prepared). After weaving, the wool is placed on a fulling mill (pisão), a machine that beats and scalds the wool to make the fabric more compact and durable.
The fabric is heavy, thick, and thus warm, windproof, and ultra strong.
Interior: Scottish tartan fabric with dominant red and burgundy tones.
