Melton is a dense and tightly woven fabric known for its exceptional warmth and durability. The unique characteristics of this cloth made it a popular choice for garments intended to withstand harsh weather conditions, such as coats and jackets, providing both insulation and protection.

The name “Melton” is derived from its birthplace, Melton Mowbray, a market town in Leicestershire, England, which was the traditional centre of English fox-hunting, and black and scarlet hunting coats were traditionally made from melton cloth.
