The check is small, at 5cm by 5.5cm, so matching is easy, but allow a little extra fabric to line it up across the centre front and pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eProperties:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe silk yarn gives this fabric its supersoft feel. As soon as you touch it, you know that this is a special cloth. It feels very distinctive, soft and comfortable to the hand, and a delight to wear against the skin. A semi-matt finish and a subtle lustre enhance it, but the silk content makes it exceptional and you just know that you could find it in the dark by feel alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle: \u003c\/strong\u003eA classic worsted weight and hand, as for high-end worsteds.
