The name "Serge" is derived from the Greek word "serikos," meaning silken, reflecting the fabric’s historic association with luxury and craftsmanship. While serge made of silk dates back to the 8th century, the wool version became prominent in France during the 1550s. At that time, it was reserved for the upper class and military use, valued for its durability and formal appearance.
Today, serge is recognized for its timeless appeal and versatility. From the iconic uniforms of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to modern suits and jackets, it has retained its status as a premium fabric. Its ability to balance strength with sophistication ensures it remains a preferred choice for formal and functional garments worldwide.
