Winter may be arriving more slowly this year, but that doesn’t mean the North has lost its signature biting cold. At Vietnam Bespoke Shop, we believe now is the perfect time to choose a thicker demi-season jacket or suit with proper insulation—and flannel remains the ultimate choice for cold-weather elegance.
While still made from natural wool, flannel distinguishes itself through a unique brushing, weaving, and finishing process. This gives the fabric a denser, warmer texture, with a tighter weave than lightweight summer wool. Simply put, flannel is brushed wool, designed to be soft, lofty, and warm, often featuring a gently fuzzy surface and a classic twill weave.
When it comes to flannel, it’s fair to say there’s a whole world of luxurious options. To save you time, Vietnam Bespoke Shop is pleased to offer a curated selection of the finest:
Fabric Houses to Consider
We proudly carry premium flannel from legendary mills across Italy and the UK. This includes: Drapers Italy and Vitale Barberis Canonico 1663, renowned for outstanding quality and the finest raw materials in Italy. Hardy Minnis, one of the most historic and respected mills in England. Marling & Evans, a prestigious mill from Huddersfield, UK, with centuries of expertise.
Each fabric house represents the best of traditional craftsmanship and modern refinement—ensuring your flannel garment from Vietnam Bespoke Shop will be both elegant and enduring.
Color Selection
Each flannel mill brings its own distinctive character to its collections, making direct comparisons less about which is “better” and more about what best suits your personal taste, occasion, and mood. At Vietnam Bespoke Shop, we guide you toward finding the most suitable color option for your individual style and setting.
Drapers
Drapers’ signature palette focuses on navy blues and a range of greys—from soft light grey to deep charcoal, bordering on black. These hues embody classic elegance and versatility, making them ideal choices for a refined look in any setting—formal or casual, day or night. These are the dependable shades that never go out of style and effortlessly enhance any wardrobe.
The combination of fine pinstripes and olive green brings a sense of freshness without feeling unfamiliar—especially if your wardrobe already includes many shades of blue or grey. This is also a classic suit color, reminiscent of the style once favored by British aristocrats.
Brown with large windowpane patterns is one of the classic motifs, often worn for travel, leisure, weddings, or in business environments that are not overly formal. Windowpane is a good, fairly easy-to-wear and tailor-friendly option, as it tends to be less bold than checks—making it a safer choice for those who prefer something distinctive yet understated.
Flannel holds its shape very well thanks to the nature of wool fabric, distinguished here by its characteristic matte surface. Flannel is a top choice for cold weather, especially for the harsh winters in Vietnam. It carries a unique beauty—both gentle and warm.
A pair of grey flannel trousers is also an iconic image of winter. You can wear them with a matching flannel jacket, navy, or more casually with tweed.
This fabric is an excellent choice for the cold northern winters as it offers great wind resistance, high warmth, and soft comfort. When making flannel trousers or jackets, lining them with Bemberg Cupro or silk is the perfect choice.
