Interesting…. the pile on the Warlock swatches appears to be more compact than the Warlock showroom sample library. I recall that the Zepel showroom samples of Warlock have a pile that reminded me of the look and feel of Warwick’s Mystere range. Whilst I accept that one of the challenges with any velvet is that it shows rubbings and marks when the pile direction is altered, the Warlock velvet seems to show these marks more easily than any of the other velvet samples I have. It also seems harder to brush the pile on the Warlock to reduce or eliminate these marks when they occur and a “ghosting” image of the rub seems to remain faintly visible. Also, in the showroom samples of the Warlock velvet, there is one sample that is quite large - looks to be at least half metre or more of the fabric. You can see on this larger sample where people have rubbed the pile. It even looked a bit like the pile was beginning permanently to mat/congeal a little on the site of the rubbing?? Apologies for taking so long to pick a fabric for my chairs but I can reassure you that I have been actively looking at fabrics. It’s a fun process but at the same time, I’m a bit over it but pressing on. I now have around 40 samples of various styles and colours of fabric in the grey range and have looked at heaps more. I’ve limited my search to Warwick, Wortley and Zepel fabrics. I’m finding that grey is not an easy colour to work with because of the blue, green, brown and purple tints used and how this impacts on the final grey colour and how it looks in situ. The chairs were originally covered in a heavy damask silk and are currently covered in a chenille type fabric. I don’t want to go down the silk route.  I also don’t particularly want plain self-textured jacquard type fabrics because they look too rustic and coarse on the chairs. So I’ve decided as an alternative that I want to keep the fabric very plain with a preference for a soft feel plain fabric. It's what looks best on the style of chairs and the contrast of grey against the blond wood looks great. Easier said than done!
At first I tried to avoid velvets and was looking at other soft feel fabrics that look like a close pile velvet but aren’t (Zepel’s Ottoman Drizzle, Wortley Touch Pewter) but with no luck. Back in the velvet space, it seems to me that there’s a big difference in the range and types of velvet. I’ve limited myself to 100% polyester. At this stage, I’m leaning towards a Warwick velvet called Cleo.  Cleo has quite a close, dense and tight pile. The colours I’m looking at in the Cleo range are Gull, Armour and Flint and I have reasonably decent sized samples of these colours. The other range of velvets that have a good selection of greys that I like is Zepel’s Warlock velvet (Aluminium, Slate and Metal) but this velvet has a much more plush pile than Cleo and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that.  I don’t have any samples of Warlock velvet but have seen it in their Rushcutters Bay showroom. Whilst I wouldn’t mind getting some Warlock samples, the samples Zepel has sent me via you in the past are so small (about 8cm square), it’s hardly worthwhile getting them. Not to mention, Zepel will not tell me the price of the fabric either. At least Warwick and Wortley will give you price ranges.
