Properties:
A first-rate Virgin Wool suiting, woven in Italy from the finest quality yarns. This stylish fabric boasts a stable handle (slight natural widthwise ease) and a lightly textured, non-irritant feel, due to the weave and tightly twisted yarns. This lightweight breathable suiting fabric has an amazingly fluid drape quality and is resistant to creases! Perfect for warmer climates and seasons where you still have to look smartly attired.
The subtle combination of colour and finest weave quality, similar to honeycomb weave, makes for a seriously smart style with excellent versatility. The close weave, when held to the light, has visible air pockets between the yarns, and it is this strong and clever construction that makes tropical suitings perfect for warmer seasons and climates.
Garment Suggestions:
Navy Zenith is perfect for fashioning smart jackets and waistcoats which will look great teamed with classic white shirts, tan brogues and jeans. This clever suiting will of course make the finest suits for stylish gents and ladies.
Wide-leg trousers, like The Cordelia Trousers, will create an elegant timeless style akin to Katherine Hepburn's iconic style, adding deep turn-ups for a swishy drape that will make you walk with style. Create a Jemima Waistcoat for a simple but striking suit combo! Interlining is recommended for the waistcoat to add structure.
If suit-making isn't your forte, fear not! Put this superb fabric to use for less formal, but equally smart outfits, such as shirts, tunics, pinafore dresses and skirts too. Perfect for shirt-style dresses and shirt-waister styles with a vintage vibe too.
The Merchant & Mills Shirt Dress and Trapeze Dress will look stunning in this fabric. Sew Different's Layer Up patterns are also an excellent choice for loose-flowing tunics to oversized dress choices - the neat Sew Different's Harvester Pants Pattern are perfect too!
