When we toured the production at Johnstons of Elgin last year they had us feel some Vicuna. The fibres are so fine they can't be dyed, so a Vicuna garment always has the brown color of the animal. It's more luxe than cashmere, comparable pullovers they sold cost 300£ (cashmere) and 1000£ (Vicuna). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shade-of-brown-starts-with-letter-v-popular-in-mens-dress-shoe#post-1449847 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 01:40:02 +0000 CocoLion 1449847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait another 10-15 years and it gets worse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shade-of-brown-starts-with-letter-v-popular-in-mens-dress-shoe#post-1449846 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 01:39:42 +0000 AM 1449846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes lot a of sense. And I'm so new to fashion that I had never heard of the animal, color, or otherwise. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shade-of-brown-starts-with-letter-v-popular-in-mens-dress-shoe#post-1449845 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 01:35:21 +0000 Carla 1449845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weird. I've only seen the term used for the wool of the actual animal. However, lots of times designers (or marketers) will use terms out of context in the name game. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shade-of-brown-starts-with-letter-v-popular-in-mens-dress-shoe#post-1449826 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 00:19:48 +0000 Anonymous 1449826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I could think of was "varnish," and I knew that wasn't it.

Again, starts with "v" and looks close to cognac. Medium in tone. Any ideas. I hadn't heard of this color and I wanted to learn more - but now I can't even remember the word. Thanks for your help. I've tried to identify it on google with no luck. </p>
