What you should know about The Escorial Company, Limited
Escorial is a scanty and elegant wool from a small sheep originating from the Spanish Royal flocks of Al Escorial, today only to be found in little numbers in Australia and Fresh Zealand. Today Escorial can be found throughout the world in high performance men’s and women’s suiting’s, knitwear, accessories and home wares. This supple characteristic creates a fabric that is incomparable in drape and resilience with a distinctive easy handle. But in 1765 King Charles of Spain broke this decree and gifted his cousin, The Elector of Saxony, 100 of his Escorial sheep.
In 1967, Peter Redford visited Tasmania and developed a passion for the distinctive properties of this fiber. In Spain a royal decree was set that no Escorial sheep were to depart the country. Grazing in their instinctive sanctuaries in Australasia, the attention to detail that goes into every step of Escorial presents the customer with a extravagant garment of performance, provenance and rarity. Grazing in their automatic sanctuaries in Australasia, the attention to detail that goes into every step of Escorial presents the customer with a elegant garment of performance, provenance and rarity.
The suppleness and fluidity of the Escorial fabric delivers a garment of comfort and performance. The flocks in Saxony died out in World War 2, making the insignificant Australian flocks the only remaining immaculate strain descending from the Escorial flocks. Textile craftsmen, Peter redeveloped recipes of how to bring out the superior in this fiber in the finished garment. Today Escorial can be found throughout the world in tall performance men’s and women’s suiting’s, knitwear, accessories and home wares
