GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
A true selvedge denim woven in Italy, finished in a distinctive ash black tone with contrasting cream yarns running through the twill. The red selvedge edge adds that classic detail, while the slightly softened black shade gives it a more contemporary feel than a flat jet black.
At 12.2oz (approx. 414gsm), this 100% cotton denim offers firm structure with natural breathability. Woven 82cm wide on traditional looms, it reflects the narrower width typical of authentic selvedge cloth.
Strong, durable and built to age well, it’s ideal for jeans, jackets and workwear-inspired pieces that benefit from weight and longevity.
