Holland & Sherry Ace
Wool flannel, 15 colourways, 100% wool, 59 in wide. Holland & Sherry's own figures, and how we make it up as draperies in our Fort Lauderdale workroom, from the cloth your designer orders.
15 colourways of wool flannel, 59 in wide
Ace is a wool flannel from Holland & Sherry, in their Sporting Collection (100% wool, 59 in wide, made in Chile). The range runs to 15 colourways: Foil White, Glow, Natural, Grass Court, Clay, Putting Green, Aquatic, Waterway plus 7 more. Their spec sheet gives its end use as "Upholstery, drapery, wall upholstery, soft goods, and accessories".
At 59 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a wide panel is made of joined widths, with each seam hidden inside a pleat or a ripplefold wave. Holland & Sherry's sheet gives the direction as up the roll. Holland & Sherry give the repeat as 4.78 in across; we match it across every seam and from window to window, which adds yardage and is figured into the order.
Wool is naturally flame resistant but not sun resistant: it fades and weakens in direct sun, so it is lined, and on unshaded south or west glass it wants a solar shade in front of it. It can stretch a little over time in humid air, and like silk it is a protein fibre that wants an air-conditioned room rather than a house closed up for the summer (what each fibre does). It weighs 13 oz per linear yard (430 g per linear metre) by Holland & Sherry's figures.
Their drapery note advises hanging the drapery before it is hemmed, so the cloth settles to the room, and lining every drapery, to block the light and protect the face.

What Ace does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Ace is a tailored drapery cloth: pinch pleat, Euro pleat or ripplefold panels in a study, a bedroom or a living room, lined, on a decorative rod or a track.
Light and privacy
An opaque cloth, so privacy is complete when it is closed. The lining sets the light: a light-filtering sateen keeps a room glowing, an interlining adds body and quiet, a blackout lining turns a bedroom dark (lining guide).
Cloth and care
100% wool; 13 oz per linear yard (430 g per linear metre); Martindale 10,000 rubs.
Limitations
Not for unshaded south or west glass on its own: the sun fades natural fibres, so a shade goes in front of it there. At 59 in a wide panel is made of joined widths, and the repeat is matched at every seam, which costs yardage. No NFPA 701 result in Holland & Sherry's data, so a condo common area or a commercial job that asks for it needs the cloth flame treated with a certificate, if Holland & Sherry can supply it that way, or another cloth.

How Ace becomes draperies in your home
Your designer specifies
Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so the cloth is chosen and ordered by your designer, with the colour code and the sample in hand. Not working with a designer? Tell us; we can suggest a cloth we order ourselves.
We measure and give the yardage
We measure the windows, settle the style, the fullness and the lining, and work out the yardage on the width and the repeat, so the order to Holland & Sherry is right the first time.
We make and install
The cloth comes to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, where our five in-house seamstresses cut and sew the draperies, and our own installers hang them on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for.
Where Ace works here
In South Florida a wool drapery belongs in an air-conditioned room with the glass shaded: a study, a dining room, a bedroom with a blackout lining, a media room where weight and quiet matter. At the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach we made two Holland & Sherry wool jacquards up as blackout drapery on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks, to the designer's schedule; Ace would be built the same way.
For the same use, compare Ace with Blazer Stripe (wool flannel, 59 in, 5 colourways), Fair Isle (lambswool Fair Isle, 57 in, 4 colourways) and Home Run (heavy wool flannel, 59 in, 4 colourways).
Ace: frequently asked
How many colours does Holland & Sherry Ace come in?
15 colourways on Holland & Sherry's site when we read it on October 7, 2026: Foil White, Glow, Natural, Grass Court, Clay, Putting Green, Aquatic, Waterway, Rock Wall, Feather and 5 more. Every one is listed on this page with its code; Holland & Sherry's photographs of each are on their own site, linked from the table.
Can I buy Ace from you?
No. Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so your designer orders the cloth from them. We make it up and install it: we measure and work out the yardage, the cloth is sent to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our seamstresses cut and sew the draperies.
Will Ace need seams?
Yes on most windows: at 59 in it runs up the roll, so a panel wider than one width is made of joined widths, with the seams hidden inside the pleats and the repeat matched at each seam.
Does Ace need a lining?
Holland & Sherry say every drapery should be lined, to block the light and protect the face, and we agree. The lining is chosen for the room: a light-filtering sateen for a living room, an interlining for body and quiet, a blackout lining for a bedroom (lining guide).
What does Ace cost made up as draperies?
The cloth is bought through your designer at Holland & Sherry's price, so our quote covers what we make and install: the fabrication, the lining, the track or rod and the installation, worked out from the measure. Ask for a workroom price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.

Your designer orders Ace from Holland & Sherry; we measure, work out the yardage, cut and sew it in our own Fort Lauderdale workroom as draperies, and hang it with our own installers on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for, anywhere from Miami to Palm Beach.
Have Ace made up properly
Book a complimentary in-home consultation, with your designer or on your own. We measure, talk through the lining, the fullness and the hardware, and give the yardage for the Holland & Sherry order.
