Seasons Book

My town is my country.
I’m moving in and out of it just like a suit that fits me so well.
I love the country, but my home is my town, my bar, my park,
my opera house…
I love nature. I take care where my food comes from,
and I wear good wool whenever I can.
As nothing you wear is as pure and as pleasant.
I love my clothing matching my day,
to be just right for what I do in this moment.
To live in my town means there is always an occasion to get dressed for,
three different ones a day if I want.
My town is my country, my pleasure, my work and my stage.

THE SEASON’S COLLECTION
AUTUMN - WINTER 2015

THIS SEASON IN CLOTHING
“This collection is inspired by the increasingly
international and urban lifestyle of the modern
gentleman. For 2015 I have further developed
the underlying project of using Scabal’s incredible
strength in cloth and manufacturing to give today’s
man what he really needs.
In creating each collection, my process always
begins by asking myself - what really goes to the
core of luxury? These days I find the answer is a
concept of luxury that is evolving towards ideas of
freedom and ease of movement, while still being
protected and caressed by what we wear. For this
reason I love to use wool, as it is not only the most
constantly evolving and modern material available,
but also simultaneously gives us a deep connection
to our past.
4
It is this combination of elegance and historical
reverence with modern technical achievement
that makes it the ideal fabric to base this collection
around. This season we will also be introducing
a new slimmer cut model in ready-to-wear, and
made-to-measure, alongside three new styles of
shirts.
It is my hope with this collection that not only
does it continue Scabal’s constant evolution of the
luxury industry, but also that it provides garments
which enable the modern man to truly enjoy his
life, relationships and passions. It is these, in my
opinion, that are the true essences of luxury.”

THE ARTIST’S VIEW ON
MADE TO MEASURE
27
ERNESTO ARTILLO
In 1972 Scabal and Salvador Dali embarked upon
a unique collaboration, and the famous master
produced a series of paintings that portrayed his
distinctive vision of menswear style.
Continuing this tradition in recent years,
Scabal have young artists to depict a personal
interpretation of made-to-measure. The latest
invitation was to a young Spaniard, Ernesto Artillo,
who’s work in collage can be seen as a very modern
28
take on the same spirit of deconstructive creation
that Dali pioneered.
Stripping images back to their component parts,
and introducing elements from Renaissance art,
Surrealism, and nature, as well as raw paint and
inks, Ernesto reveals the true nature of the image,
and highlights the unique transformative power of
made-to-measure.

THE FABRICS COLLECTION
AUTUMN - WINTER 2015
31
THIS SEASON IN CLOTH
“One of the most important elements portrayed in
this collection is the relationship between history
and modernity.
For this reason, we have not only looked forward
to what a man will wish to wear this year, but also
drawn from Scabal’s designs of the 1970s, and early
1980s, in order to create a collection with a timeless
quality.
Culturally this was a time when menswear grew
increasingly distinctive, as silhouettes became more
powerful, and bolder fabric designs commonplace.
Within Scabal, this time period was also of great
importance; under the dynamic guidance of the late
Mr. J.P. Thissen, we strengthened our reputation
of delivering only the very best cloth to customers
across the globe.
32
Revisiting the spirit of this era allows us to
reconfirm Scabal’s signature style and unique
place within today’s luxury industry, as well as the
world at large. It has allowed us to bring a breath
of fresh air to the existing standard collections, by
adding new fancy and semi-fancy designs, while
at the same time producing an expertly balanced
collection full of new classics.
We are also very excited about the two Special
Editions that will be released this year. The first is
our update of the perennially popular Lapis Lazuli
collection, to be followed by the new Noble Fleece
ultra-fine quality, which will become a benchmark
for the whole industry.”
Michael Day, Creative Director

THE NOBLE WOOL CLUB
noble fleece story
The story of Noble Fleece is much like the cloth
itself. From afar it presents an inimitably beautiful
appearance, yet can only be fully appreciated when
examined closely. Taken in hand, one can see how
each thread has been woven inseparably from the
others.
Individually they are but a single yarn, yet together
they create something unforgettable. In the same
way 500 years of history is intertwined with the
cloth, each thread of the story entwined with
another, working in concert they tell the tale of
Scabal’s never-ending pursuit of perfection. One
can feel in the handle how heritage and modernity
have come together with such exquisite results.
thread of time
Our story begins on the idyllic plains of northern
Spain. It is here that the ancestors of the modern
Merino sheep could be found, in the flocks of
the King, in Europe’s middle ages. Tracing their
lineage back to Roman and Phoenician flock that
clothed mighty empires, the Merino was created by
mixing this stock with hardy English breeds.
The wool of these animals was to be exported
back to England, where it was spun into cloths the
envy of the world. This was done at mills such as
Scabal’s, which was built in 1539, and has been
continually weaving ever since. Indeed, so vital to
the King’s purse was this wool, that to remove a
single sheep from Spain carried the death penalty,
and it was not until 1723 that the Merino was
allowed out of Spain.
Within 100 years the fluffy flocks could be found
in nearly every corner of Europe, and as war,
and revolution weakened the absolute power
of the monarchy, they increasingly moved into
private hands. Some even made the trip across the
Atlantic, their wool playing an integral part in the
establishment of the United States of America, as
many Founding Fathers owned their own flocks.
It was an odyssey across another Ocean however,
that would take the Merino to its spiritual home.
In 1788 sheep found their way to Australia, and
it took only 20 years for the Merino to prosper on
the granite tablelands of the then mysterious fifth
Continent.
It was a dietary quirk that has given us the Merino
that we know and love today, with the popularity
of lamb leading European, and American breeders
to focus on steering sheep towards larger broods.
To the Australian palette, lamb was not considered
as desirable as beef, and so the Merino was bred for
wool, increasing in fineness with every generation.
It was a sound decision. Australia now plays host to
almost 74,000,000 sheep, far more than the human
population, and exports a quarter of the entire
world’s wool supply.
The best wool that has ever existed comes from
Australian Merinos, 90% of whom can still be found
on family owned, and operated farms. It was upon
visiting such an operation that Scabal’s Executive
Chairman, Gregor Thissen, began to write the next
chapter in the Noble Fleece story.
a most noble club
A wise man once said there is nothing more
important than family, at Scabal we truly believe
this. That’s why Gregor Thissen, a third generation
cloth merchant has devoted his life to the same
company as his father J.P. Thissen. It is also why,
when he saw how hard business was becoming for
family-owned Australian Merino farms, that he felt
a change was needed.
It is for this reason that Mr. Thissen has started
the Scabal Noble Wool Club, an ecologically
sustainable, and economically fair farming
initiative;
“Here at Scabal we have always pushed the
boundaries of what is possible with wool. We
have also sourced our raw materials directly from
the producers, but it was in visiting one of these
remarkable ultrafine wool farms in Australia
in 2013, that I first realised that this part of the
industry needed both protection, and preservation.
It is building on our heritage for industry
innovation that with the Scabal Noble Wool Club,
we want to bring attention to the skills of ultrafine
wool growers. Together we can ensure the future of
an industry that produces the most remarkable raw
materials on the planet.
It is also our intention to move beyond the currently
dominant fibre diameter. In the industry this is
styled as µm, or micronage, and it measures how
fine the individual strands are. A finer strand means
a softer, and often more elegant cloth. This is what
is generally displayed as the ‘Super’ number, and it
is our opinion that this system has reached its limits.
We were the first company to break the Super 120’s
barrier in 1974, and the Super 150’s barrier. That’s
not to mention the Super 180’s and 200’s barriers
that we also shattered, and it was Scabal that
premiered the ubiquitous bunch, as well as many
other innovations, so we feel that we are expertly
qualified to evolve this system.
We have also seen consumers become more and
more knowledgeable about the products they love,
and it is our intention to give them a better system
that represents the modern ideal of perfection.
Increasingly we see our loyal end consumers
47
48
49
demanding a product created with a conscience,
and sustainable framework.
Producing the best wool on Earth is a more
complicated process than merely measuring fibres.
The soil, the air, and overall environment that
the sheep inhabits, all have an impact on the final
product. As do the essential food and water the
animals consume each day, and it is this natural
foundation that must be carefully preserved for the
future generations of this planet to enjoy. That is
what the Scabal Noble Wool Club is all about.”
from sheep to shop
“To be selected for the Scabal Noble Wool Club
growers must first satisfy a very discerning, and
rigorous range of selection criteria. Fundamentally,
the farms must breed pure, or “True-to-type”,
Saxon Merino sheep, based on heritage bloodlines.
We are the first in the world to encourage the
management of bloodlines in this way, and in
recognition of the low yield, but higher quality, that
this breed produces; we have chosen to compensate
growers above the current market trends.
This ensures the future of the breed on Australian
farms, and is hoped will spearhead the return to
profitability of this animal. These animals should
also be kept on the granite-based soils that they so
love, which is found mostly 600m above sea level.
The resilience of the wool, known in the industry
as the staple strength, is also of paramount
importance, to both tailors, and consumers. A high
staple strength means that the garments created
using Noble Fleece can withstand the test of time,
and stand testament to the superior qualities of the
cloth until well into the future.
This can also be ensured with our crimping
standards. Crimps are tiny bends in the wool,
50
which govern the ability of the cloth to spring back
into place after wearing, and give the finished cloth
a better handle. Importantly, it also allows the cloth
greater elasticity, and therefore protection against
wear, and allows air to become trapped increasing
thermo-insulation.
Finally, as the third-generation of a fabric
family, I believe that heritage is important. The
knowledge that is passed down, and honed from
one generation to the next, cannot be surpassed.
We therefore favour those growers who are
working in the same field (both geographically and
disciplinary), as their ancestors.
The children on these farms today will be our
partners in the Scabal Noble Wool Club tomorrow;
this gives you a sense of the scale that we foresee
for this endeavor. Noble Fleece is a special product
in its own right, but what makes it so revolutionary
is the entire project that surrounds it.”
the lion led by lambs
Using this spectacular wool from these Australian
producers, Scabal has crafted the Noble Fleece that
you hold today, at the same English mill where
we spun Merino wool nearly 500 years ago. So
spectacular is this Super 200’s result, that it does
indeed move beyond the micronage.
By choosing Scabal’s Noble Fleece in the pursuit of
your perfect suit, you will be wearing not just one
of the most complete cloths Scabal has ever created,
but also the representation of an ideal.
It is the culmination of exceptional human
achievement in weaving, responsible farming, deep
passion, and unparalleled co-operation. Every cut
length, and garment created is an investment into
the very fabric of our future, and a truly Noble
Fleece.

OUR STORY
fruits of the loom
The story begins in 1539. It was in this year that
our mill in historic Huddersfield, the cradle of
English cloth, stopped grinding wheat, and began
to work with cloth.
Initially working as fullers, a job that involved
preparing the woolen fibres by hand, looms were
soon installed, and our weavers continued to
handcraft cloth until the Industrial Revolution.
It was in 1799 that the first mechanised loom was
installed. This allowed for finer cloths to be crafted,
but required constant monitoring and human
judgment. Our process in this regard remains
largely unchanged, with expert weavers guiding
every step of the process.
Shortly thereafter Scabal would offer its own madeto-measure service, which continues to this day.
Over 200 options, and more than 5000 fabrics are
available, meaning there is limitless potential for
the customer to create their perfect garment.
dali and don corleone
Soon after, the company collaborated with the
surrealist master Salvador Dali, on a series of 12
exclusive paintings portraying his unique vision of
the future of menswear. The paintings, depicting
ties for sleeves and helium filled hats, form a core
part of Scabal’s heritage, and can still be seen in
our offices today.
hertz and soul
Scabal’s reputation was such that producers began
to directly commission our cloths to dress some
of the most iconic characters in Hollywood and
Broadway.
Scabal as we know it today, was founded by
Otto Hertz in 1938. A second-generation cloth
merchant, Mr. Hertz would bring international
buyers and manufacturers together.
Vito Corleone’s famous tuxedo, as worn by Marlon
Brando in The Godfather, and almost every one
of Robert DeNiro’s iconic 70 suits in Casino, were
made with the assistance of Scabal.
This included our English mill, as well as Wain
Shiell, an icon of British sartorial tradition that had
been present on London’s legendary Savile Row
since 1907.
In 1974, Scabal became the first company to break
the Super 100’s barrier that had stood for centuries,
with a Super 120’s cloth named Jewel.
The new enterprise was called the Société
Commerciale
Anglo
Belgo
Allemande
Luxembourgeoise (Commercial Society of England,
Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg), or SCABAL for
short.
new beginnings
In a few short years Scabal was recognized as
the leading supplier of the world’s finest cloths to
the world’s best tailors. In 1972 the decision was
taken to establish itself at the centre of the sartorial
universe, on London’s legendary Savile Row.
A new store was purposefully built at No.12; the
number we can still be found at today.
By 1970, Scabal had grown into an international
company with many employees throughout
Europe, Johann Peter Thissen, Otto Hertz’s
most valued associate, was appointed to lead the
company.
J.P. Thissen soon added a new dimension to the
company, by bringing the services of an atelier
workshop that had been crafting made-to-measure
menswear since 1937 into the core of the company.
This was indeed so revolutionary, that Scabal
had to create the entire Super, or Superfine,
classification system, which had previously not been
needed.
Not content with this advancement, Scabal was
also the first in the world to produce Super 150’s,
180’s, and even 200’s cloth. The culmination of our
efforts in this field is our Summit Special Edition,
whose woolen fibres are the finest of all the 5000
cloths that Scabal has available today.
the fabric of the future
Scabal today is led by our Executive Chairman
Gregor Thissen, the son of the late Johann Peter
Thissen, and CEO Stefano Rivera, who joined in
2013 to take over day-to-day duties.
We now have partners across Europe’s major cities
that sell our ready-to-wear and made-to-measure
garments, as well as showrooms and dedicated
Scabal stores, and you can find our cloth in more
than 65 countries worldwide.

THE SPECIAL EDITIONS
Throughout Scabal’s illustrious history we have
been experimenting with techniques, technology
and materials in weaving, seeking to push the
boundaries whenever we can. All of our Special
Edition cloths are proudly made in England, at our
historic mill that has been weaving for nearly 500
years at the same location.
The culmination of these efforts is our Special
Edition Summit cloth, whose woolen fibres are
the finest of all the 5000 cloths that Scabal has
available today.
Intensive research and development allowed us to
pioneer another first in 2000, when we debuted
Diamond Chip, the first fabric in the world to handblend a gemstone into the weave itself.
An exquisite Super 150’s and silk, Diamond Chip is
available in a range of designs and colours, and
is joined by another gemstone in Lapis Lazuli, a
Super 150’s wool and cashmere blend.
Precious metals are also incorporated into the
cloths in our Treasure Box collection, in the form
of both 22-carat gold, and platinum. There is no
other cloth like this Super 150’s merino wool in
the world, and the collection remains exclusive to
Scabal customers.
With our Orchid collection we have also introduced
a sensory experience into our cloths, by infusing the
fabric with the natural scent of the famous flower,
which is released gradually as you move within the
suit.
Ultra Caresse is a pure worsted cashmere collection
in which astonishing softness, and lightweight
comfort go hand-in-hand, and comes in a range of
stylish shades perfect for a relaxed look.
luxuriously soft guanaco fibres with not only a
Super 230’s merino wool, but also a Super 160’s.
The result is three exquisite fibres perfect for all
suits.
The guanaco’s cousin in the animal kingdom, the
revered vicuña, gives us the finest raw material
on Earth, a fleece that gives our Vicuña Suitings
collection an unparalleled softness, and lighterthan-air feel. To create this collection we have
sourced only the finest and most elegant vicuña, an
achievement in itself considering its reputation as
the “world’s rarest fibre”.
We have turned the same discerning eye to silk,
and our Ultra Silk Siberia Special Edition has been
created especially for colder climates. By employing
a patented procedure to create our exclusive
‘Winter Silk’, we treat the fibres to the same
finishing as cashmere and flannel, which gives the
finished garment the warmth of wool, alongside an
unprecedented sheen.
If you seek a lighter silk then our Eos collection
combines Super 180’s wool with only the finest
silken threads, or our Sunrise Special Edition which
