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.
Dense, beautifully smooth and with plenty of body, this 100% cotton trousering is far more interesting than your average black cotton. The cloth is very tightly woven, creating a clean, substantial surface with a firm but workable handle, while a shower resistant finish adds a useful degree of protection against light rain. At 214gsm, it sits comfortably in that sweet spot for garments that need structure without becoming overly heavy or rigid.
Black makes it endlessly versatile, but it's the combination of structure and practical finish that really sells this one. Use it for trousers, chinos, utility trousers, skirts, overshirts, lightweight jackets, chore jackets and practical everyday outerwear. It should hold seams and sharper shapes particularly well, making it a great choice for garments with pockets, topstitching and utility detailing. Smart enough for proper trousers, practical enough for a British weather forecast.
