Savile Row’s Huntsman and London-based noble yarn specialist, Tengri, have come together to create an extremely limited edition bespoke fabric created from Tengri’s rare Khangai Noble Yarns. These Noble Yarns are created from rare Mongolian yak fibres that are as soft as cashmere, warmer than merino wool, breathable and hypoallergenic. An ancient animal dating back 10,000 years, Khangai yak have hair with unique textures and colourings found only in species native to the region. The indigenous species not only graze on mineral-rich grasslands but exist in a distinctive ecosystem with micro-fluctuations in temperatures, causing the animal to produce fibres softer than those of any other yaks in Mongolia. The Khangai yaks produce rare natural tones, and the most precious of the new fabrics will introduce a rare ‘silver’ cloth. Additional colours will include natural tan and an exclusive brightened navy blue, processed by environmentally friendly dyes. Each bespoke coat, made from 2.5 metres of Tengri cloth, will take the hand-combing of 50 Khangai yaks, and with only 100 gms of fibres available from each yak just once a year, the new cloth is extremely limited in availability. Only 60 metres will be produced for Huntsman bespoke appointments, with each garment taking between 60-80 hours to craft by Huntsman’s cutters and tailors.
