Description

A brushed cotton flannel fabric with a smart, slightly urban edge, this check pairs cool mid slate grey squares with broad bands of soft sand and camel. Crisp black lines frame each block, picked out with fine white and pale silvery stripes and a single thread of rusty orange that gives the whole thing a spark of warmth. It's 100% cotton at 220gsm, woven in a twill you can see running diagonally across the paler bands, then brushed to a soft, slightly fuzzy surface that feels lovely in the hand. The weight is a comfortable middle ground: enough body to hold a collar and keep a pocket flat, with enough give to drape softly from a yoke.

Where its sister colourways lean towards country walks or fresh spring skies, the grey and sand mix here feels more at home in town, and it sits beautifully alongside charcoal, black, denim and camel. The check is yarn dyed, so the colours are woven right through rather than printed on top, which means the reverse looks just as good when cuffs are rolled or a collar falls open. The repeat is a clear mid size, so do allow a little extra fabric for matching the lines across side seams, the front placket and pockets; the rust pinstripe is a handy guide when you're lining things up.

What to make with it

This is a natural for a relaxed autumn shirt or a roomy overshirt to throw over a roll neck, and the Tessuti Arkie Shirt would make the most of that collar and placket. Lengthen the idea into the Wardrobe By Me Big Shirt Dress for an easy winter dress with tights and boots, where the soft brushed handle really comes into its own.

For something a little more structured, the Wardrobe By Me Unisex Painter Jacket works well in a 220gsm flannel: cosy enough for crisp days, light enough to layer. It would also make a smart pleated or A-line skirt, or a pair of flannel pyjamas that look far too good to keep indoors.

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.

Dry Clean - Any Solvent Except Trichloroethylene.
