Takes the Biscuit

Regular price £18.00 per metre

Light beige, Italian cotton twill fabric 155cm wide, finely woven for shirts and summer tailoring.


Description

A beautifully fine Italian cotton twill in a soft biscuit-y beige, although milky coffee probably describes the colour even better. It has that warm, creamy café-au-lait tone that sits somewhere between beige, stone and very pale brown, making it an incredibly useful neutral. The fine diagonal twill is subtle but gives the surface more depth than a plain weave, while the cloth itself has a smooth, soft handle and a smart, clean finish.

At approximately 200gsm, it sits between shirting and lightweight trousering, which makes it particularly versatile. It has enough body for light trousers, chinos and hot-weather suits, but is still fine enough for shirts, overshirts, shirt dresses, skirts and relaxed jackets. A really useful cloth for warmer-weather tailoring when you want the appearance of something smart without the weight of a conventional suiting.
