Properties:
Khaki Olive features the most wonderful soft (almost peached) hand whilst maintaining an amazingly cool crispness that will form excellent fullness and structure thanks to a very tight and close weave. This has a crispness akin to a showerproof fabric (but is not showerproof only slightly water repellant and wind resistant). Excellent stability in the width and length allows for easy sewing. Arranged into soft folds and gathers, it will produce a voluminous fullness and elegant drape perfect for dramatic styles.
Garment Suggestions:
Perfect for lightweight worker dungarees, and comfy/casual walking- cargo style trousers, also perfect for unlined trench and overcoats/parkas and worker-style jackets such as The Ilford Jacket from The Friday Pattern Co. Neat pleats, full gathers and tucks will all fall beautifully in Khaki Olive- Poly-Nylon Gaberdine so utilise these qualities and create catwalk worthy statement pieces.- designer macintoshes and trench coats perhaps?
