The competition was stiffer this time around and Dormeuil and Fratelli Tallia di Delfino came out on top, as reported by wwd. The mills were chosen by a panel of experts at Saks Fifth Avenue and The Woolmark Co. in the store's second annual Fabric No. 1 Awards. The contest is designed to choose the season's finest made-to-measure fabrics for suits and sport coats.

Dormeuil won for its long-filament, super 150s worsted wool, which is named 15 point 8 for the diameter of the fiber. Fratelli Tallia di Delfino won for its 90 percent wool and 10 percent cashmere blended fabrics for sport coats.
