Brisbane Moss cord with 8 ribs per inch width was used to craft this burgundy velvet suit, complete with white french cuff shirt and black bow tie for traditional formalwear attire.

Brisbane Moss originated in West Yorkshire’s Calder Valley, once known as Fustianopolis. Beginning in the early 20th century, weavers and dyers joined together to form the English Fustian Manufacturing Company Ltd, eventually expanding into a full vertical operation consisting of spinning, weaving, cutting and dying processes alongside clothing manufacturing operations and retail outlets.

‘Linen’

Several mosses native to coastal lowlands of north Queensland and northern New South Wales fall under this group, such as Dawsonia longiseta and Dawsonia polytrichoides as well as leafy liverworts such as Spruceanthus thozetianus and Telaranea verruculosa.

Rosulabryum queenslandicum can be found both along the coastal lowlands near Townsville and three sites near Irvinebank on the Atherton Tableland. It appears to be closely related to Microbryum brevicaule and Tortula willissiana; however it remains uncertain whether Rosulabryum queenslandicum should be included within them or not.

Originally developed during the British and French Industrial Revolutions for workwear applications, its incredible durability will stand the test of time with proper care – it exemplifies our philosophy of shifting away from disposable goods towards quality that stands the test of time.

‘Corduroy’

Corduroy (from French corde du roi or “cord of the king”) is a weave fabric composed of cotton or cotton-wool that features weft threads that raise to create an irregularly spaced ribbed surface known as Wales.

Brisbane Moss has a rich heritage of weaving corduroy fabrics dating back to the middle of the 19th century. Their fabrics are known for their quality, longevity and comfort.

Queensland is home to 25 mosses that are unique. Of those, some are highly restricted in their distribution; Anthoceros capricornii can only be found at certain spots in north Queensland and northern Western Australia, rather than being more widely found such as Dawsonia species or leafy liverworts such as Spruceanthus thozetianus and Thysananthus australis.
