Properties:
Texture: Wool serge’s characteristic diagonal lines, twill weave, formed from highly twisted yarns, adds depth and resilience, a protective layer to keep out the elements. This uniform wool serge fabric has a lightly brushed fine wool texture. The close weave delivers a hard-wearing, no-nonsense finish that's cosy, warm to the touch.
Handle: This fabric is stable both widthwise and lengthwise. With its medium/heavy weight and gentle bias ease, it’s a reliable all-rounder that handles well and sews beautifully.
Drape: This quality fabric will drape with a substantial, elegant weight when used at length, perfect for dramatic capes and full-skirted dress coat styles.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Suitable for a wide range of tailored and vintage-inspired pieces. Think structured blazers and coats, military-inspired jackets with epaulette detailing and metallic buttons, winter-weight wide-leg trousers, sharp tailored trousers, full or midi skirts, wrap skirts, pinafore dresses, smart jumpsuits, dungarees and dress coats.
Patterns: Some of our favourite patterns are the Cordelia Trousers, the Ilford Jacket, the Amelia Skirt, the Fleetwood Frock, Osborn Dungarees and The Coat.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for creating timeless, structured pieces such as tote bags, shoulder bags, laptop sleeves, belts, caps and hats. This smart wool-blend lends itself well to accessories that call for form and durability, with a refined, understated finish.
Furnishings: Although primarily a garment fabric, Seriously Navy can also be used for stylish, tailored home accents. Consider cushion covers, boxed-edge seat pads, blind trims and draught excluders. Ideal where a crisp, uniform-inspired aesthetic is desired.
Upcycling: Ideal for scrap-friendly projects like appliqué, patchwork or textile art. Offcuts can be transformed into contrast panels for garments, or used to create characterful soft furnishings, think fabric trays, coasters, or classic pieces like Scottie dogs, teddy bears and dachshund draught excluders.
