Canterbury is an English cloth woven from fine Australian Super 120’s and Cashmere.
It is a cloth that has developed an intensely loyal following throughout the United States. Here is what a few of the professionals have to say about it:
“Canterbury is the first book I show my customers. I was
trained from day one on the merits of English cloths. Canterbury
is friendly to the needle and friendly to the customer. It drapes well,
recovers, has memory and hangs out. It is the cloth of choice
for heads of state because it responds well to the rigors of extensive
travel demanded by their profession, and even after long international
flights they emerge from the plane looking impeccable.”
Martin Greenfield, Custom Clothing Manufacturer
“Canterbury drapes well and has a nice body. Sometimes
when you are working with a cloth, you encounter problems. This
doesn’t happen with Canterbury. It is easy to work. When
my customers who have already bought a suit from Canterbury come
back in, they have nothing but praise for this cloth, so naturally,
I return to the Canterbury book for their suit.”
Nino
Caldarone, Past President CTDA
“Drapability and weight. No one at present in the industry
arries a 9/10 ounce fabric at this price range that has the drapability
and wearability of Canterbury. When you want a suit to hold its
press and be wrinkle resistant and one that will even hold u for 2
to 3 day’s
wearing, the cloth is Canterbury. That’s what makes me
gravitate to this book.”
Mike Trotta, Tailor/Retailer
With credentials such as these it’s easy to understand why Canterbury continues to generate repeat business.
