The combinations are endless, leaving room for individual style and imaginative nods to trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafted using a Super 120\u2019s worsted-woollen hybrid yarn, the handle is ultra-soft as a result of the traditional double mill finishing technique. The luxurious cloth weight of 370gms\/ 13oz, lends itself perfectly to Autumn\/ Winter garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woven in our Bradford mill, in the heart of Yorkshire\u2019s textile industry, the cloth is washed and pressed using only the purest and softest water, straight from the Pennine Hills. These processes have remained the same for the last two hundred years; this history ensures that all the skills of yesterday are used in our cloths of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All 75 \u2018Oxbridge Flannel\u2019 cloths are stock-supported and available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further details contact us on +44 (0)1274 655900 or&nbsp;sales@john-foster.co.uk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Article written by Beth Gallimore.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our new cloth \u2018Oxbridge Flannel\u2019 is perfect for Autumn Winter and is available now \u2018Oxbridge Flannel\u2019 combines&nbsp;John Foster heritage&nbsp;with modern trends, bringing you a collection of traditional flannels, as well as some unique and contemporary cloths, inspired directly from our extensive archives.
