        History

        Ventile is a special woven cotton fabric that is trademark registered. It was developed by scientists at the Shirley Institute in Manchester in the late 1930s. Extra-long-staple cotton fibres are used to weave a tight density fabric which is weatherproof. During the Second World War it was used to make immersion suits for pilots. From 1943 until 2017 it was made by Talbot Weaving in Chorley, Manchester. It is now produced by Stotz & Co. AG a Swiss manufacturer.
