    FEATURES

    A world-class natural fibre consistently awarded the wool industry's pinnacle '1pp' status, Kingston superfine Merino wool is exceptionally soft, bright and elastic. This translates to a fine worsted cloth with superior drape and comfort, making the Black Wattle Tuxedo Trouser an heirloom piece. M.J. Bale returns a percentage of every Kingston single-source wool garment sold to the farm to be reinvested into biodiversity preservation and revegetation projects.

    Provenance

    Provenance
    Fibre Source, Weaving

    Kingston single-source Merino wool is grown entirely on the 117-year-old family-owned Kingston farm in the northern Midlands of Tasmania. The farm is a conservationist enterprise, home to 8% of all Indigenous grasslands in Tasmania and at least 12 threatened native flora & fauna. In 2021 Kingston farm was accredited as a carbon positive enterprise in an independent Natural Capital Management report. The production of a kilogram of Kingston greasy wool generates less than half the GHG international benchmark. Kingston sheep enjoy what farmer Simon Cameron (pictured right, with M.J. Bale Founder, Matt Jensen) calls ‘four freedoms’: freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition; freedom from discomfort, pain, injury and disease; freedom to express normal patterns of behaviour; freedom from fear and distress. In terms of quality and consistency, Kingston wool is considered some of the finest Merino wool produced in Australia. It is soft, clean, bright and elastic. Kingston wool is regularly classed by the Australian Wool Exchange (AWX) as 1pp, a certificate created, in the words of AWX, to “recognise the few lots that have reached the pinnacle of superfine wool growing excellence.” M.J. Bale returns a percentage of every Kingston single-source wool garment sold to the farm to be reinvested into biodiversity preservation and revegetation projects.

    M.J. Bale’s single-source Kingston Merino wool is woven into Super 120s and Super 150s worsted suiting fabric by the centuries-old Italian weaver, Vitale Barberis Canonico (VBC). Owned and operated by the 15th-generation of the same family, VBC is situated in Biella, within the Italian Alps, and maintains strict adherence to eco-friendly policies – in particular, water use and the revitalisation of the natural environment.

    Performance

    Performance
    Half-Canvas, Fully Lined, Light Shoulder Padding

    This jacket is created with a half-canvas, which is a 'floating’ layer of natural fibres stitched together between the inner and outer fabric of the jacket body. The half-canvas provides shape and structure, maintaining the jacket’s form through decades, when cared for properly.

    This jacket is fully lined, meaning it has a protective layer of fabric running from the top to bottom of the garment. The lining covers the jacket’s interior stitching, while adding structure to the suit.

    Much like traditional Neapolitan tailoring, which strips out much of the suit jacket’s heavy shoulder padding, this jacket features 'soft shoulders'. This benefits men with more athletic shoulders and those in warmer climates (i.e. Australia), making the jacket lighter and a more sympathetic wear in hot/humid conditions.
