With the changing season comes a renewed focus on refinement, versatility, and expressive texture. SCABAL's Autumn/Winter 2025 collections deliver precisely that: an expansive set of offerings that spans formal suiting, elevated casualwear, and statement evening pieces. Crafted for boardrooms, black-tie affairs, and cold-weather weekend escapes, these fabrics bring craftsmanship, character, and seasonal depth to the forefront of modern tailoring.
From soft stretch jacketings to rich velvet and dynamic checks, SCABAL’s new collections offer a full wardrobe of possibilities for the colder months. Each bunch has been carefully developed to balance comfort with polish, and tradition with edge. At MICHEL’S BESPOKE, these fabrics become the starting point for custom garments that express personal style through bespoke interpretation.
FREESTYLE: Refinement with Range
At the heart of SCABAL’s seasonal suiting is the FREESTYLE collection—a focused, adaptable range of 25 cloths designed to meet the varied demands of autumn and winter tailoring. These fabrics move easily between settings, featuring rich, saturated tones of deep brown, forest green, and navy blue. A mix of smooth plains and classic checks anchors the collection, while two ceremonial designs offer polish for formalwear without veering into rigidity. With texture, tone, and styling range, FREESTYLE brings quiet confidence to modern suiting.
GALAXY: British Heritage, Elevated
A mainstay of the SCABAL archive, GALAXY returns with its signature blend of tradition and detail. Woven in England from 100% Super 110s wool, these 280-gram twill-based fabrics are built for year-round use—but particularly well-suited to tailored wear in crisp weather. Classic blues and greys provide a refined base, while tonal herringbones, subtle pops of colour in striped designs, and green hopsack add depth and dimension. Finished with SCABAL’s signature bloom—a lustrous softening technique—the GALAXY collection embodies British tailoring, updated for the present.
JET SET: Precision and Performance
Crafted with the modern business traveller in mind, JET SET is designed for those who value sleek performance alongside impeccable tailoring. These 280-gram fabrics, made from Super 150s wool, are both elegant and engineered, offering subtle patterns and textural interest without compromising versatility. Tonal herringbones, micro-checks, and understated pinstripes are presented in a deep palette of charcoal, navy, and slate. Ideal for garments that need to hold their own across meetings, flights, and evening engagements, JET SET brings clarity and polish to a fast-paced wardrobe.
AUTUMN LEAVES: Seasonal Texture
A standout in this year’s collection, AUTUMN LEAVES is a richly composed bunch that captures the visual and tactile language of the season. With offerings of both 100% extra-fine Merino wool and a soft wool-cashmere blend woven at 320 grams, these fabrics embody warmth without bulk. False plains and soft checks introduce pattern with subtlety, while hues of burgundy, rust, forest green, and winter white create a dynamic yet grounded palette. With its soft herringbones and multi-tone structures, AUTUMN LEAVES is both seasonal and enduring.
ESSENTIALS: Everyday Ease
Compact and considered, the ESSENTIALS bunch delivers ten wool-based fabrics with just the right amount of stretch. Ideal for blazers that demand comfort as much as structure. Classic herringbones, hopsacks, and piqué weaves are rendered in deep, timeless colours: rich burgundy, bottle green, navy, and black. With a subtle knitted texture and modern ease of movement, ESSENTIALS is a go-to for garments that bridge casual and tailored, everyday and elevated.
TREND: Threads of Character
Compact and considered, the ESSENTIALS bunch delivers ten wool-based fabrics with just the right amount of stretch. Ideal for blazers that demand comfort as much as structure. Classic herringbones, hopsacks, and piqué weaves are rendered in deep, timeless colours: rich burgundy, bottle green, navy, and black. With a subtle knitted texture and modern ease of movement, ESSENTIALS is a go-to for garments that bridge casual and tailored, everyday and elevated.
FINE VELVET: Softness and Sheen
Velvet takes a lighter step forward this season with SCABAL’s new FINE VELVET collection. Crafted with a weight just 360 grams, these cloths offer the unmistakable rich visual depth and soft hand expected of velvet, while offering a noticeably easier drape. The lighter weight makes for eveningwear that moves effortlessly between formality and flair. Available in a broad spectrum of colours from jewel tones to subtle neutrals, FINE VELVET invites bold expression as much as understated elegance. Whether cut as a classic dinner jacket or a modern statement piece, this collection brings renewed vitality to the tactile luxury of eveningwear.
At MICHEL’S BESPOKE, we invite you to explore the full breadth of SCABAL’s Autumn/Winter 2025 collections. Whether drawing from the rich seasonal tones of AUTUMN LEAVES, the statement textures of TREND, or the evening elegance of FINE VELVET these cloths offer the inspiration and performance needed to dress with purpose this season.
