Italian Wool Blend
The story

Sixty percent wool, thirty percent polyester, ten percent polyamide. The wool is Italian, and it is spun for outerwear rather than for next to the skin, which is why the blend is built for structure and not for softness. One colourway runs on a slightly different mix, fifty percent wool with acrylic alongside the polyester and polyamide, but it is the same quality from the same mill, so the weight and the hand do not change between colours. The jacket closes with a two-way zip and is made up in Macedonia. It is dry clean only, and the care note is unusually clear that it should not be dry cleaned often: hang it outside for a few hours instead, and most of what it picked up leaves on its own.

Why choose it

For outerwear that asks for airing more often than cleaning.

01

The wool is Italian

Italian wool, blended with polyester and polyamide. Where the jacket is made up is a separate question, and the answer is Macedonia.

02

Two blends, one quality

Two colours run at sixty percent wool. One runs at fifty and brings acrylic in. Same quality, same mill, different colourway.

03

Airing beats cleaning

The care note asks for less dry cleaning, not more. A few hours outside on a hanger does most of the work.

04

A two-way zip

It opens from the hem as well as the collar, so the jacket can be let out when you sit down in it.

What you pay for

Vance Bomber Jacket: €289 here. €419 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Our margin
€151,84

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.

Care

and not too often
