GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
Pure virgin wool in a soft, creamy ivory makes this one of those fabrics that doesn't need bells and whistles to feel special. Finely woven with a beautifully smooth surface, it has the clean appearance of traditional fine suiting but a surprisingly soft, supple handle. There is also a little natural woven give across the width, despite there being no elastane. At approximately 156gsm, it feels light, breathable and wonderfully refined.
This is particularly well suited to sporting and country clothing, where pure wool really earns its keep, but it is far too good to limit to one purpose. Think beautifully cut trousers, waistcoats, shooting or sporting jackets, lightweight blazers, skirts and elegant suits. The warm cream shade would also make an exceptional summer suit. Understated, beautifully made and quite frankly exquisite cloth.
