Description

Some black fabrics are "charcoal-y". Some are "washed black". Some are "nearly black". This isn't one of them. Hector in Jet Black is properly, unapologetically black. The sort of black that makes colours next to it look brighter and sharp tailoring look sharper still. Woven from 75% viscose and 25% linen, it combines the fluid drape of viscose with the character and texture of linen, creating a cloth that looks relaxed but always manages to appear smart.

At around 210gsm, it's substantial enough for trousers yet soft enough for dresses, shirts and loose-fitting tops. It hangs beautifully without feeling heavy and has a natural, understated texture that gives depth to an otherwise classic plain cloth. Whether you're making wide-leg trousers, an easy summer dress or a shirt you'll wear for years, this is one of those dependable fabrics that quietly gets everything right.

What to make with it

Good for

  • Dresses
  • Shirts
  • Blouses
  • Loose trousers
  • Skirts

Properly black, not charcoal-ish or nearly black, which makes tailoring look sharper. At around 210gsm it's substantial enough for trousers, and the viscose and linen mix keeps shirts, dresses and skirts fluid and textured.

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.
