Description

Rich military green with a wonderfully soft, flannel-like finish, this is proper wool suiting with a character all its own. Woven from 97% wool with just a touch of Lycra, it has a beautifully substantial handle, gentle flexibility across the width and a smooth, softly brushed surface that makes it particularly appealing. At approximately 227gsm, it has enough body for smart tailoring without becoming overly bulky. The colour is a deep, earthy military green, timeless, understated and rather handsome.

This is the sort of cloth that looks equally at home in a relaxed country jacket or a beautifully cut blazer. Perfect for tailored coats, smart trousers, waistcoats and autumn jackets, it strikes that lovely balance between casual comfort and proper dressing. The wool gives it warmth and structure, while the slight give makes it comfortable to wear. Just the thing for taking the air with someone you wish to impress, although we'd happily wear it for a trip to the shops too.

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.

Care & washing

WashingProfessional dry clean recommended
DryingDo not tumble dry. Air dry naturally if damp
