Not All Silk Starts the Same There is silk, and then there is silk done properly. The difference starts at the filament level. High-quality silk is produced from long, continuous filaments reeled carefully from the cocoon. These uninterrupted strands create yarns that are smoother, stronger, and more consistent from start to finish. Lower-grade silk is made from shorter fibers spun together. That shortcut reduces cost, but it also introduces weakness into the yarn. Over time, those weak points show up as pilling, surface fuzz, snags, and a fabric that loses its integrity far sooner than it should. Cruelty-free silk also...

I thought it would be helpful to offer a thorough breakdown of cashmere, one you can use as a reference the next time you’re evaluating a cashmere piece. You’ll often hear terms like “Grade A cashmere” or “Grade B cashmere.” Those sound official, but they aren’t technical standards. There is no globally enforced grading system that certifies cashmere into letter categories. Labs don’t test for “Grade A.” Mills don’t spin “Grade B.” Those labels are internal sourcing language at best and marketing language at worst. What actually exists are measurable definitions of what cashmere is allowed to be called cashmere,...

Linen Comes From a Fundamentally Different Fiber Linen is made from the flax plant, a crop valued for its naturally long and strong fibers. These fibers are significantly longer than cotton, which allows linen yarns to be spun with fewer breaks and less reliance on reinforcement. This fiber length matters. It is the reason linen garments hold structure over time instead of thinning or collapsing. When linen is well-made, it does not weaken with wear. It relaxes. Breathability Is Built Into the Fiber Structure Flax fibers are hollow and rigid, creating natural airflow within the fabric. Heat and moisture move...

At Wolf vs Goat, we’ve always believed that clothing can do more than cover the body… It can make real change.The way a piece is made matters. The people behind it matter. And when a brand has the ability to create comfort, it should also find ways to extend that comfort to those who need it most. This winter, we’re proud to announce the WvG Beanie & Scarf Charity Drive, running November 27 through December 23, in collaboration with the Kiwanis Brooklyn Division. For every beanie and scarf purchased at retail price during this period, we will donate one beanie and...
