The Greenhills Super 160’s — A Masterclass in Luxury Custom Suiting
When it comes to bespoke suits, there are fabrics that impress — and then there are fabrics that define true luxury. The Greenhills Super 160’s wool from Vitale Barberis Canonico is one of those rare materials that sits at the very top of the hierarchy of fine tailoring.
This isn’t the fabric you choose for an everyday office suit. Instead, it’s the one you reserve for life’s most meaningful occasions — a wedding, milestone celebration, or a once-in-a-lifetime bespoke piece. For clients who value exclusivity, craftsmanship, and refined comfort, the Greenhills Super 160’s offers a world-class experience.
A Rare and Exquisite Fiber
The story begins in Mudgee, New South Wales, Australia, where a rare breed of merino sheep produces some of the finest wool fibers in the world. Vitale Barberis Canonico — Italy’s oldest continuously operating textile mill, founded in 1663 — sources just 80 kilograms of this extraordinary fiber each year.
To put that rarity into context, their other premium collection, the Revenge Super 150’s, is woven from roughly 1.3 million kilograms of wool annually. That’s what makes the Greenhills line not just luxurious, but truly exceptional — a benchmark for scarcity, craftsmanship, and elegance in modern tailoring.
Designed for the Discerning Gentleman
The Greenhills fabric book features 44 refined patterns and colors, including elegant solids, tonal shadow stripes, classic pinstripes, double stripes, windowpanes, and timeless glen checks. With a weight of 230–240 grams per meter, it’s ideal for bespoke suits in Los Angeles and Orange County, where lighter, breathable fabrics are essential year-round.
Each cut of Super 160’s wool is woven with remarkable precision, balancing lightness with structure. The result is a cloth that drapes beautifully, resists wrinkling, and retains a crisp silhouette — even after long hours of wear. It’s an exceptional choice for custom business suits, wedding suits, or made-to-measure formalwear where performance and elegance must coexist.
The Tailor’s Perspective
From a technical standpoint, the Greenhills Super 160’s is a dream to work with. The hand feel is exceptionally soft and supple, yet it maintains enough firmness for clean tailoring lines. Unlike ultra-fine fibers such as Super 180’s or 200’s, which can be delicate and prone to distortion, the Super 160’s offers just the right balance of luxury and stability.
This makes it easier to shape and sculpt the garment through the tailoring process — allowing our bespoke tailors to achieve a flawless drape, perfect balance, and impeccable fit. The result is a custom suit that feels as good as it looks — refined, comfortable, and unmistakably high-end.
Aesthetic and Finish
Visually, this fabric exudes understated sophistication. It has a subtle, natural sheen — never glossy — that reflects light with elegance. The heathered yarns create depth and richness in color, giving navy, charcoal, and mid-gray tones a distinctive three-dimensional character. The finish is unmistakably Italian: polished, refined, and effortlessly luxurious.
Why Choose the Greenhills Super 160’s
Choosing this fabric for your next bespoke suit isn’t just about the name or the number — it’s about craftsmanship, rarity, and the tactile pleasure of wearing something truly exceptional.
