Description

Woven from 97% worsted wool with a touch of elastane, this charcoal grey suiting combines traditional craftsmanship with modern practicality. The worsted yarns create a smooth, refined finish with a beautifully soft handle, whilst the deep charcoal colour makes it one of the most versatile cloths you could have in a wardrobe.

Lightweight yet remarkably resilient, this British fabric has excellent crease resistance and enough stretch to keep garments comfortable throughout the day. It drapes cleanly, presses beautifully and recovers exceptionally well, making it particularly suited to workwear and tailoring that needs to look smart from morning until evening. Perfect for blazers, tailored trousers, waistcoats and contemporary overshirts, this is a fabric that works hard without ever looking like it's trying.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

Grey wool fabric made into a pair of wide leg trousers, lovely to sew, smooth and comfortable to wear, hang nicely without being too heavy.

Really excellent quality, smooth, fine worsted wool with a nice drape. Quite a firm handle - I don't anticipate many creases. A very good bargain for the price. Very much looking forward to making a smart pair of wide-legged trousers out of it.
