SCABAL FABRICS
SCABAL Fabrics – A passion for cloth
From the day Scabal was founded in 1938, the company has been driven by the desire to achieve a single goal; To bring the joy of stylish and personalised sartorial clothing to the world’s most discerning gentlemen.
The mission has guided the company for more than 80 years and is the reference point for everything that Scabal create. True luxury has never been bestowed simply by price, but rather by the evident passion, heritage and values that can be seen within an item.
Every cloth has been lovingly crafted by Scabal in a family atmosphere, using traditional European workshops, responsible production methods and the finest raw materials.
Throughout Scabal’s illustrious history they have been experimenting with techniques, technology and materials in weaving, seeking to push the boundaries whenever they can. The culmination of these efforts is embodied in their Special Editions and finest cloth collections.
The SCABAL Fabrics – COUPON SERVICE
SCABAL has been one, if not the first one, of the pioneers offering the COUPON SERVICE, a system where samples of material are provided to customers, they could use to order small pieces of fabrics, “coupons”, just enough to make 1 single garment.
Initially this service was oriented mainly to traditional tailors, but with the development of the “Made to measure” services, today also to shops and designers are profiting form this service.
What started as a service mainly for Men, is increasingly used also by Women Couture and Women Made to Measure services, looking for higher quality of materials.

Their work
By creating in these ways, Scabal believes that you can feel the joy that is woven into every thread, and think of the brand not only as providers of the highest quality cloths, but also a partner in the things you enjoy in life.
Each season Scabal releases a new cloth collection. Typically these feature an average of 450 new fabrics, which are added to the 5000 that are available for next-day delivery worldwide.
Creating a range of cloths that live up to Scabal’s reputation and heritage requires more than just a creative flair for new designs. Each fabric is the result of extensive experimentation with raw materials, weaving techniques and finishing.

Their Story
It was in 1938 that the founder of Scabal, a skilled second-generation cloth merchant named Otto Hertz, brought buyers and manufacturers together to form an international enterprise. This new company was eventually named the Société Commerciale Anglo Belgo Allemande et Luxembourgeoise (Commercial Society of England, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg) and given the moniker Scabal for easier pronunciation across languages.
Scabal on Savile Row
The center of the tailoring universe for nearly 300 years, it is home to the world’s greatest tailors, many of who still hand craft suits for the world’s most discerning gentlemen.
For nearly all of its 80-year history, Scabal has been present on this sartorial street.
In the early days as a cloth merchant and weaver, Scabal built its reputation on delivering the finest fabrics to these master-tailors and the company’s bunch books still sit in nearly every parlour upon the street today.
It was the highly selective taste of these craftsmen customers that drove the development of Scabal’s Special Edition cloth collections, which still stand at the pinnacle of English made cloth.
In 1971 Scabal moved into the street proper, when it inherited the window at No.12 Savile Row. Today this building still houses the Scabal Club, which is staffed by a team of cloth merchants, style experts and traveling tailors, as well as being stocked by the company’s full offering of fine fabrics and luxurious menswear.
