Colour:
Shades: This classic natural white-hued cotton base denim features a deep, inky navy blue face evoking the richness of Midnight Indigo and vintage workwear.
Design: Yarn-dyed navy cotton warps are interwoven with natural-hued cotton weft yarns, producing a speckled two-tone surface with visible twill lines and a refined, workwear-inspired finish. The result is a sophisticated denim with heritage appeal and a modern edge.
Overall: Denim is super versatile! Midnight Indigo can be easily dressed and fashioned into smarter silhouettes with sharp detailing - neat, contrasting, natural topstitching and metallic hardware. They are also perfect for creating dressed-down styles and distressed/worn areas for statement fashions.
Properties:
Texture: Midnight Indigo has a firm cotton hand with noticeable twill texture on the face and a smoother reverse. The surface structure enhances its durability and gives garments crisp definition.
Handle: More structured than a classic denim, this fabric holds shape exceptionally well and will soften over time with washing and wear. The subtle ease in the length direction adds a touch of movement and wearability without compromising stability.
Drape: The fabric’s stiffer handle creates a defined drape, perfect for structured, utilitarian pieces and garments that require body and presence.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Ideal for heavier-duty denim applications such as jackets, coats, structured dungarees, boiler suits, utility trousers, and chore jackets. Its deep navy tone lends itself beautifully to minimalist tailoring or contemporary workwear aesthetics.
Be bold - you can be your own fashion designer, by adding contrasting top-stitching and different kinds of hardware; studs, buttons and zips you can create your unique style.
Patterns: Patterns such as The Ilford Jacket, Osborn Dungarees pattern, Cordelia Trousers, Dawn Jeans and the Lynsey Dungarees are a perfect choice.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Complete your outfits with matching accessories - pair with scrunchies, tote bags, or headbands.
Furnishings: This versatile and durable fabric will make fabulous cushions, bean bags, storage boxes and many more.
Upcycling: Use your scrap pieces to repair your most loved pair of jeans, patchwork together with other denim to create small storage bags, leaving the edges raw to fray and add texture.
