Not all warm-weather fabrics are created equal. Here's what actually keeps you warm when temperatures drop — and why.
Wool and Wool Blends
Wool fibers trap air in tiny pockets, creating natural insulation. It also regulates temperature well, meaning it won't overheat you indoors the way synthetic fabrics can.
Cable and Chunky Knits
The thicker construction of a cable knit — like our Double-Breasted Cable Knit Cardigan — creates more air pockets than a flat knit, adding warmth without excess weight.
Corduroy
The ridged texture of corduroy traps warm air close to the body while remaining breathable, making it ideal for outerwear like our Sherpa Collar Corduroy Zip Up Jacket.
Sherpa and Faux Fur
These plush textures are excellent insulators and work especially well as collar or lining details, adding warmth exactly where you need it most — around the neck.
What to Avoid
Thin cotton and most synthetic blends offer minimal insulation on their own. They're best reserved for base layers under something warmer, not as your primary winter fabric.
