A Super 150s (16 micron) cotton-spun merino shirting from the masters at Albini. Albini has hundreds of years of shirting experience, but most of that is in cotton and linen, wool traditionally was a whole other supply chain. Over the past few decades though wools have gotten finer, softer and easier to wash, opening up the possibilities of fine wool shirting and over the past few years Albini has jumped in. And they've jumped in deep, not just weaving wool shirtings but spinning their own yarns as well and spinning them like cotton so they work better on looms oriented towards making cotton shirtings.

This particular fabric came out of those experiments, 215gsm of beautiful soft Super 150s wool woven in what Albini calls "cappello da prete" or "priest hat armor", a structure halfway between a twill and plain weave. (And yeah we have no idea how the "armor" ended up in the English translation, we're just passing on info from the mill!)
