Vicuna
Now, not that we're in the men's or women's suiting's business, I thought it would be interesting to share the story of Holland and Sherry's recent development of Vicuna, in quantities large enough to actually make a limited number of dress suits.
Be forewarned, what your about to read is not for the faint of pocket book, but it's an interesting story!
The Vicuna Llama lives in the alpine areas of the Andes, South America. Vicunas produce small amounts of extremely fine wool, which is expensive because the Vicunas can only be shorn every 2-3 years. Vicuna fiber is the world's rarest and costliest fiber. The Vicuna Llama is a protected species, and with the help of the Inca Tribes, the Vicunas numbers have risen and they are now thriving once again.

For their suiting's cloth line, HOLLAND and SHERRY have created an outstanding new cloth innovation, Vicuna Aymara. The incredibly soft and luxurious handle of the Vicuna fleece has made it a most sought-after treasure since the time of the Inca's. Inca legend tells the story of a beautiful young maiden who was wooed by an ugly old king. She would only consent to his advances if he promised her a coat of pure gold. This is how the Vicuna came to have its 'golden fleece'. considered sacred by the Incas, only royalty were allowed to wear the Vicunas precious fleece, also known as the 'fibre of the gods'. It became illegal for anyone to hunt the Vicuna, and death awaited those who harmed these animals.

It has taken five years to produce enough yarns to manufacture this luxurious range of cloth, and a further 18 months to develop the cloth. The range is being run in 3 colors, 'Pitch Black', 'Midnight' and 'Natural Vicuna'. There are other Vicuna fabrics on the market but HOLLAND and SHERRY have woven the world's first 100% worsted spun Vicuna fabric, it is unique, it is original, it is exclusive, and at $4,000 per yard, it is the most expensive cloth in the world.
Now, wasn't that interesting?
