All processes take place in-house, guaranteeing total quality control combined with extraordinary customization capabilities and a genuine ethical commitment.
Through its brands – Borghi 1819, Tessitura di Albizzate, TFM, TFM Denim, and TBM – the group operates with the main international fashion markets, offering high-end fabrics for men and women.

For years, TBM Group has been investing in technology, skills, and sustainability, reducing environmental impact with photovoltaic systems, optimized processes, and a short, transparent, and responsible supply chain. A balance between innovation and roots that translates into durable, authentic, and contemporary fabrics.
TFM is the sartorial heart of TBM Group.
A brand born to bring a precise, conscious, and cultured vision to the world of cotton, linen, and denim. Each collection dresses a contemporary wardrobe with refined and versatile garments, from unstructured shirts, clean trousers, urban trenches, to multifaceted outerwear.
With TFM, material becomes storytelling.
Every fabric is conceived as a means of expression, with a clear stylistic imprint and impeccable construction.
Here, style and expertise do not chase each other: they merge.
Cords & Moleskins: corduroy according to TFM
The FW26 capsule “Cords & Moleskins” revisits two timeless staples – corduroy and moleskin - with a modern and versatile approach, elevating them to a new stylistic dimension. “Cords & Moleskins” celebrates the value of the material, the richness of the texture, and the precision of the cut.
Not just fabrics, but surfaces rich in character, where TBM Group’s technical heritage meets a refined, contemporary, and international aesthetic.
A good corduroy can be seen.
But a TFM corduroy is felt.
Next-generation classics
Corduroy is not just a fabric, it is an art.
And TFM interprets it with unique, in-house expertise. Every cord and moleskin in the capsule is the result of an integrated and controlled supply chain, crafted with sartorial precision that enhances its feel, look, and performance.
“Our cut makes the difference.”
This level of control of the supply chain ensures consistent quality, creative freedom and exceptional versatility of use.

Weaving
the foundation of the fabric
Warp and weft are interlaced on looms.
Corduroy
special constructions create "channels" that will guide the cutting of the ribs
Moleskin
satin type constructions with long floats ideal for brushing
Cutting
(corduroy only)
Blades run through the channels to open the pile and form the ribs; custom patterns are also possible.
Brushing
(corduroy only)
Lifts and aligns the pile, giving uniform softness and sheen
Brushing + Shearing (moleskin only)
Brushing
cylinders covered with teasels or wires pull out weft fibres; TFM's extra long line (over 200 raising rollers) ensures an even, compact surface without compromising the fabric's strength.
Shearing
trims the surface for an even, pleasant hand feel.
Dyeing & finishing
Piece, pigment or indigo dyeing, along with functional finishes such as WR (Water Repellent).
Typically Corduroy & Moleskin are treated with additional softening and tumbling to achieve their trademark fluid, rounded hand.
