Introduction:
Lazio District Check is a first-rate wool and viscose suiting, woven in Italy from the finest quality yarns. This stylish fabric boasts a wonderful handle and comes in a classic district check design.
Colour:
Boasting a palette of dark and sophisticated hues. The warp yarns combine alternating groups of black and dark denim melange yarn. The weft is then woven throughout with alternating navy/black and dark pine green. This clever combination of yarns produces a subtle dark grey/green hazy check with rich blue undertones like the forever-changing city sky over Rome.
Properties:
A subtle and lightly textured, none irritating feel, due to the viscose content, and weave of tightly twisted yarns. These yarns produce the characteristic lightly textured feel when combined with an almost basket-like weave formation. This light/mediumweight breathable suiting fabric has a reassuring so drape quality and is more resistant to creases!
Perfect for warmer climates and seasons where you still have to look smartly attired. The close weave, when held to the light, has visible air pockets between the yarns, and it is this strong and clever construction that makes tropical-type suitings perfect for warmer seasons and climates.
Garment Suggestions:
Lazio District Check will look great cut on the bias for tucked and draped Vivienne Westwood style dresses and skirts. Other uses are pencil skirts, and classic semi-tailored silhouettes, jackets, waistcoats and 50's style cigarette pants, add a matching waistcoat such as The Jemima Waistcoat.
If you love bold tartan statements add The Cordelia Trousers, Pinafore dresses, fit and flare dresses circle skirts and lots of other '40s & '50s Rockabilly, Retro and Lindy Bop Styles. Create classic kilts, coats, jackets, capes and poncho wraps.
Other Uses:
Hats, caps, bags and accessories.
