Brushed and Hairy Woolen Fabric Surface Directions
A visible hairy surface can be a design starting point for a coat or jacket. Confirm the finishing process rather than assigning “brushed” from appearance alone.

Three decisions to make with the sample
Surface intent
Describe how visible you want the surface to be and which physical reference should guide the discussion.
Direction and making
Compare orientation, seams, trims and garment panels with the same sample. Record any directional appearance effect.
Use and testing
State care, pilling, abrasion or other requirements from the buyer. No performance result is inferred from the surface photograph.
Move from a collection reference to an article
Use this reference to identify the visual or development direction you want to explore. Ask Fred to propose suitable current articles and provide the information needed for your garment brief. Keep the website direction ID separate from the factory article code.
The photograph does not establish current inventory, a composition percentage, finished GSM, usable width or a certification result. Record these as open questions until the proposed article is documented. If the article or finish changes, review the relevant sample and making checks again.
Prepare the next request
Include the garment, silhouette, lining or unlined intent, desired surface and sample purpose. State the amount needed for a construction trial if your garment maker has already estimated it. Ask Fred to confirm sample availability, charges, shipping and the next approval stage.
Compare this direction with another reference from the library using the same garment question. A shortlist should help explain the decision you need to make, rather than imply that a photograph has already proved the fabric suitable.
From direction to development
Take the next step with samples
A photograph starts the conversation. Physical samples help you make the decision.
