Properties:
This predominantly cotton, classic black fabric is woven in a super fine construction from lightly textured fine yarns with micro boucle detailing. This finely textured detail produces an all-over lightly raised slub-like micro boucle texture. The base or core of the fabric has a dense (but not thick) hand with a crisp feel, perfect for creating sharp details or conceptual folds pleats and tucks that will create drama! The addition of nylon and a touch of elastane produces a super strong fabric that will drape at length (with body) and with a subtle lustre that catches the light of the elegant folds.
Garment Suggestions:

Utilise the stability and crisp hand for structured utility styles with neat pockets, crisp button bands pocket flaps epaulettes etc. worker jackets/ denim jacket styles, pinafore dresses and skirts with cargo pockets.
