Why Drago fabric is a hidden gem for bespoke suits
Italian innovation meets tailoring tradition: the story of Drago
Founded in the heart of Biella, Italy’s textile capital, Drago is a family-run mill that has risen to international prominence by combining cutting-edge textile innovation with age-old Italian craftsmanship.
Unlike the larger, more commercially visible mills, Drago produces all its fabrics in-house – from raw wool processing to final finishing – ensuring full control over quality, sustainability, and traceability. The result? Some of the most technically advanced and stylish cloths available to bespoke tailors today.
Who wears Drago fabric?
Though not always name-dropped in Hollywood, Drago is the choice of connoisseurs – from master tailors in Naples and Savile Row to executives who understand the value of refined detail. Drago fabrics are favoured by elite bespoke tailoring houses across Europe and Asia, luxury brands offering limited edition capsule suits, and fashion-forward clients seeking something less mainstream but equally luxurious.
Drago is a favourite of those in-the-know who value innovation, feel, and performance – without the flashy labels.
What makes Drago fabric so special?
Drago has earned a reputation for pushing the envelope in wool performance and ultra-fine yarns. Their most iconic innovations include Super 130s to Super 180s wool with exceptional handle and lustre, “Natura” wool – 100% natural and biodegradable without chemical treatments, and the “Performante” range – crease-resistant, breathable, and travel-ready. They also offer wools with built-in stretch for all-day comfort without synthetics.
Many Drago fabrics weigh in at just 230g to 260g, making them ideal for the Australian climate – breathable, lightweight, and elegant all year round.
Drago controls every step of the production chain – from spinning the yarn to weaving and dyeing – in Biella, Italy. This vertical integration ensures consistency and quality that few can rival.
