Composition: 100% Virgin Wool
Width: 148cm / 58.2inch
Colour:
This first-rate virgin wool double gaberdine fabric was woven from the finest Racing Green yarns. This classic dark green hue is a seriously stylish colour. Often used for uniforms, blazers, waistcoats and other hardwearing separates. Team this with Navy, burgundy and gold hues for a classic collegiate style.
Properties:
The yarns, used to create this hardwearing classic, are highly twisted, superfine worsted yarns closely woven together in a fine twill weave featuring a double warp construction. The combination of weave and yarns produces a medium-thickness fabric that is heavier than your usual worsted suiting yet has a fine finish. It is soft, malleable, slightly spongey/padded and very resistant to creases.
Garment Suggestions:
Racing Green is the perfect fabric for hardwearing yet stylish trench coats, uniform blazers, waistcoats and other hardwearing separates: pinafore dresses, neat pencil skirts and slim-fit cigarette pants with grown-on waistbands/facings.
Take the styling down a peg or two and create worker-style jackets and overshirts with a military chic style. Add sew-on appliques - faux medals, ribbon braids/stripes etc for the full military fashion look.
Other Uses:
Create matching accessories to your separates; hats, caps, messenger bags etc.
