Colour:
Shades: Gilded Provenance is defined by its overall golden-beige hue, achieved through the interweaving of superfine black, warm brown, harvest gold and natural white yarns. Rather than reading as colour, the palette resolves into depth, rich, sunlit and quietly complex. The finely woven ground carries a refined surface with gentle visual movement, allowing the cloth to glow softly rather than shine. Fine red overcheck accents are introduced with precision, offering a measured point of contrast that feels considered and traditional, never decorative for its own sake.
Design: A sharkskin base formed by staggered twill, incorporating a fine multiple windowpane overcheck for subtle definition and visual interest.
Overall: This fabric embodies heritage tailoring, interpreted through modern subtlety. Warm but composed, distinctive yet restrained, it is a fabric intended for those who appreciate nuance, where colour is suggested rather than declared, and craftsmanship reveals itself gradually through wear and light.
Properties:
Texture: This clever wool and linen fabric has the combined texture of a fine wool worsted with a hint of absorbent linen, akin to worsted tropical wools. Cooler and more breathable than pure wool, yet composed enough for clean, tailored lines.
Handle: Lightweight but never flimsy, these fabric types can be described as tropical or summer-weight suiting. High-twist fine yarns create a fabric that is hard-wearing yet airy and breathable, and when held to the light is slightly translucent; tailored garments will benefit from a breathable lining.
Drape: Supple and soft drape with the ability to achieve a structure suitable for perpetual wearability. Crease-resistant properties come from its complex, light and airy weave, while the wool–linen blend naturally acclimatises to the wearer.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: If suit-making isn’t your style, fear not. Put this superb fabric to use for less formal, but equally smart, outfits such as shirts, pinafore dresses, drapey layers like tunics and overshirts or shirt dresses, as well as skirts.
Patterns: There are many other patterns suitable for this versatile cross-seasonal fabric. We recommend the Cordelia Trousers, the Shepherd Skirt and the Juno Trousers.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for creating matching accessories, including caps, soft-structured bags, clutches, and fabric belts.
Furnishings: Suitable for home accents such as cushion covers, upholstered panels, or decorative trims where texture and depth are desired.
Upcycling: Excellent for smaller projects and offcuts, including patchwork, contrast panels, appliqué and ragrugging.
