Prized for its comfort and softness, this eye-catching garment is sewn from 100 percent baby camel hair. The fabric has a smooth hand like cashmere, but isn't as soft and delicate, a favorable quality if your clothes take a beating.
Camel hair has always had its natural thermostatic properties, providing insulation in the cold and keeping its wearer cool in the heat. You can thank the Bactrian camel, from which hair is collected to make the fiber, for these heat-regulating characteristics.
This particular camel (two humps, not one) makes its habitat in a wide range of climates and altitudes across Central Asia. Its fine, soft undercoat is collected by shearing, combing, or simply waiting for the camel to naturally molt. Regardless, the camel is not harmed by sharing its coat with us.
Now a staple of luxury fashion, the camel look was imported by equestrian Brits in the 1920s and 30s. Camelhair fabric has remained in men's fashion ever since.
