Colour:
This quality 100% Virgin Wool suit weight fabric is a classic with a twist. Finely woven from highly twisted worsted yarns and a high thread count of strong and lustrous darkest navy. This classic hue is an excellent alternative to black - which can sometimes appear harsh against certain skin tones. Navy blue always looks smart and conveys an air of timeless style.
Properties:
Navy Fandango may look like your usual serge-type twill suiting, but take a closer look and you will see this finely woven Italian all-wool fabric has been woven in a complex fancy twill weave of alternating vertical twill stripes which alternate with crepe-like stripes with a fine vertical chevron.
The close weave produces a medium-weight fabric that is dense and stable thanks to twisted worsted yarns which are particularly lustrous and hard-wearing. This quality suit-weight fabric has a reassuring drape quality and has a subtle sheen where the raised diagonals and chevrons catch the light. This first-rate woollen is naturally water and soil-resistant, regulating the temperature of the wearer and so much more.
Garment Suggestions:
The Amelia Skirt will become an indispensable key piece within your wardrobe when fashioned in this hardwearing fabric. Add a matching The Pattern Stash's Jemima Waistcoat for a seriously snappy style. Add a matching blazer or overcoat, that will go with everything!
Emphasise the heavy drape quality of Navy Fandango by creating Riding style full-skirted and fitted bodice Victorian-style coats. Classic shift dresses, pinafore dresses, A' line skirts and most trouser styles from slim fitted to wide-legged pleat front trousers like The Cordelia Trousers are all excellent choices.
Other Uses:
Create seriously smart Baker Boy caps, flat caps and other timeless accessories from this Fancy Twill Suiting.
