The new generation High Twist combines luxurious Merino yarn with superior spinning techniques to create an elegant, high performance cloth.
Dating back to the 1960s, this collection was originally developed for the Tyler Brothers, who represented Dugdale Bros in the Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysian markets. With a resurgent demand for such lightweight, high performance summer cloths within warm, humid climates, we have relaunched the heritage range in its two original variations – High Twist and Mock Leno.




Woven on traditional looms using extra-fine, 2-ply Merino wool, Mock Leno has an open mesh finish that is characteristic of this enduring method, with interlacing warp and weft yarns creating natural drape and a cool wear aspect. Available in an eclectic range of shades – from classic and muted to modern and vibrant – this fabric is perfect for tailoring summer jackets and blazers.











We have been deliberate and painstaking in our process, drawing from 123 years of experience, to bring you The Merchant Fleece.
