Gladson / Carlo Barbera
The American cloth merchant with Italian soul
Gladson has been the bridge between Italian textile artistry and American style since 1933. As one of the most respected fabric merchants in the United States, they curate collections from Italy's finest mills, including Dormeuil, Reda, and others, and make them accessible to American tailors and clothiers. Their selections are tailored to the American body, lifestyle, and climate.
The Gladson Collection
Dormeuil Selections
Gladson's partnership with Dormeuil brings some of the world's most refined suiting cloths to American clients. Known for Amadeus 365 year-round all-season cloth, and their luxurious cashmere blends, Dormeuil through Gladson offers exceptional quality at accessible price points.
Reda Mill Collections
Reda is one of Biella's most innovative mills, producing performance-oriented wools with natural stretch, water resistance, and easy-care properties. Gladson's curated Reda selections are ideal for the modern professional who needs their wardrobe to work as hard as they do.
Americana-Fit Programs
Unlike European mills that design for European body types and preferences, Gladson's Americana-Fit programs are specifically curated for the American market. Wider patterns, more generous cuts, and colors that resonate with American style, from Wall Street to Main Street.
Performance Fabrics
Gladson's performance range includes wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking, and stretch-enhanced fabrics that look like traditional suiting cloth but perform like athletic wear. Perfect for frequent travelers, long meeting days, and Miami's demanding climate.
Featured Mill Partner
Carlo Barbera
Carlo Barbera is one of Italy's most storied fabric mills, weaving luxury cloth in Biella since 1949. Known for their extraordinary color work and innovative blends, Carlo Barbera produces some of the most distinctive suiting fabrics in the world: bold without being loud, refined without being boring. Their lighter-weight wools and cashmere blends are especially suited to warm-weather dressing, and their seasonal collections are the ones that stylists and tailors wait for each year.
Through Gladson's partnership, Bespoke By CB clients have access to Carlo Barbera's full range, from their signature super-fine wools to their seasonal sport-coating weights. If you want a jacket or suit that stands out for its color and texture, Carlo Barbera is the mill to ask about.
