Osborne & Little | Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald is a plaid in a wool mix, the sort of check that might have graced a 1920s golf course, and it borrows its name from the author of The Great Gatsby. The pattern is traditional but worn lightly, sporting rather than baronial.

The cloth is woven in France from wool with polyester, 80 and 20 per cent, on a generous 148cm width at around 48gsm. A rub result of 73,000 makes it far more hard-wearing than its softness suggests, comfortable on sofas and chairs in constant use as well as on curtains and throws.
