The Woods · Made-to-measure
At &Tradition, every upholstered piece can be ordered in the covering of your choice. The fabric, leather, or sheepskin price group determines the price; the color can be chosen freely within the group, at no extra cost. This page gathers the 38 qualities from the &Tradition price list and their 382 colors, including composition, abrasion resistance, country of origin, and certifications.
Unsure about a material? Send us your model and usage: we will tell you what lasts, what patinas, and what we do not recommend — and we will prepare the samples for you to see.
The Martindale measures abrasion resistance: a wool disc rubs the fabric while rotating, and the rotations are counted until two threads break (ISO 12947 standard). The higher the number, the better the fabric withstands daily wear — jeans, zippers, claws.
Lightfastness (ISO 105-B02) ranges from 1 to 8: 5 is a good level for indoor seating, 6 and above is suitable near a bay window. Pilling is rated from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best.
Wool, plant fiber, or synthetic? Wool is elastic: it returns to its shape, breathes, resists dirt, and ages well. Cotton and linen have the softest feel and the most matte look, but they mark and wrinkle more. Technical polyesters and acrylics handle abrasion, light, and cleaning well, at the cost of a less natural feel.
Aniline or pigmented leather? Aniline leather is dyed through without a top coating: it shows its grain, signs of life, and patinas. Pigmented or corrected leather receives a uniform surface finish, making it easier to live with and clean, but less lively.
The displayed color is measured, not declared. The color family classification on this page is calculated for each sample photograph, which avoids vocabulary surprises between manufacturers. It does not replace having a physical sample in hand.
The 38 qualities and 382 &Tradition color codes, explained. This is the list to browse when looking for a specific code.
