Alumo: Swiss Precision in Shirting — Engineered for the Modern Sovereign

In the uppermost echelon of shirting fabrics, there exists a name that whispers quiet power: Alumo. Crafted in Appenzell, Switzerland — far from fashion’s noise, yet at the center of sartorial purity — Alumo fabrics are the embodiment of disciplined luxury, precision, and timeless sophistication.
At Lapels Bespoke, we reserve Alumo for clients who expect the absolute: flawless drape, unyielding structure, and a handfeel softer than silk yet sharper than a signature. These are shirts for the man who arrives in silence — and owns the room without saying a word.
Swiss Made, World Admired: The Alumo Legacy
With roots dating back to 1918, Alumo remains one of the world’s most exclusive cotton shirting mills. While other brands compete on volume, Alumo focuses on purity, rarity, and consistency — producing only 100% two-ply cotton shirting, spun from the world’s finest Egyptian Giza fibers, then woven on high-complexity looms using ultra-fine yarn counts.
This is not mere cloth. This is Swiss textile horology — exacting, refined, and timed to your legacy.
