GBSB Ep8 Inspiration: Stitched from the Page
From Sherlock Holmes tweeds and reworked school uniforms to romantic Jane Austen dresses, explore the fabrics that inspired Literary Icons Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A substantial 13.5oz organic cotton denim in washed black, finished with a traditional red selvedge edge. Woven at 80cm wide on shuttle looms, this narrow-width cloth reflects the slower, heritage-style production associated with true selvedge denim.
At approximately 460gsm, this heavyweight denim offers durability and structure with a firm hand that softens beautifully over time. The washed black tone gives it a versatile, modern edge while retaining the authenticity and character expected from selvedge construction.
Ideal for jeans, jackets, aprons, trousers and hard-wearing accessories.
