Entity and subject

Display name

Published legal reference
Vitale Barberis Canonico S.p.A.
Primary subject
Wool and apparel fabrics, not finished suits or jackets

The official catalog organizes cloth by weave, colour, composition, design, weight, season, type and use. That structure is the basis for this site's terminology.

Collections and article scope

Named examples
Perennial, Revenge, Flannel, Greenhills and 21 Micron
Use examples
Suit, jacket and outerwear fabrics
Evidence rule
Keep each property with its collection or article record

A family name can guide discovery, but composition, grams, weave, handle and season are not interchangeable across articles.

Wool material context

The official wool pages discuss merino, Saxon Merino and 21 Micron wool. Those terms can explain fibre choice and stylistic intent. They do not authorize a universal micron value, origin, durability claim or performance result for every cloth in the catalog.

Natural-fibre blends also require precision. Wool, silk and linen contribute different surface, drape and seasonal qualities, while the exact percentage remains an article field.

Archive versus current supply

The official historical archive describes more than 2,000 volumes of fabrics from several countries, beginning in 1860. That is archive context, not a statement that every historical design is currently available.

Current availability, colour, cutting service, quantity, usable width and timing belong in a live article enquiry. This site avoids converting heritage into unsupported supply claims.

What counts as evidence here

No certificate number, validity date or brand-wide compliance outcome is asserted in the reviewed configuration. Certification and regulatory language is used only as a request for current documentation applicable to a named article and supply context.

  • Catalog record: the article's current composition, weight, weave, design, season, type and use.
  • Physical swatch: the cloth used to review hand, drape, surface, colour and construction.
  • Applicable document: a test report or conformity record whose scope names the relevant article or material.
  • Supply confirmation: a response covering availability, quantity, cutting format and timing at the point of enquiry.
