Coat Jacket Fabric Flannel Brushed

Coat Jacket Fabric Flannel Brushed by the Metre

Coat jacket fabric flannel brushed is a stretch fabric with a soft, napped surface that traps warmth without adding bulk. The blend of 77% polyester, 18% viscose and 5% elastane gives you a fabric that moves with the body, useful for fitted coats and blazers where a stiff fabric would restrict movement. At 145 cm wide and 465 g/m², it has enough weight for outerwear but still drapes well. You'll find it here in more than 12 colours, sold by the metre.

What does "brushed" actually mean here

Brushing is a finishing process where fine wire brushes lift tiny fibres from the surface of the woven fabric. That's what gives this coat cloth its slightly fuzzy hand and its extra layer of heat insulation. The technique also softens the fabric's structure, so it drapes more gently than an unbrushed equivalent with the same fibre content. On this flannel brush fabric the effect is subtle rather than shaggy, which keeps the finish suitable for tailored garments as well as casual coats.

What you can sew with this jacket fabric

The combination of stretch and structure makes this coat fabric material suited to a fairly wide range of outerwear.

• Winter coats: the fabric's weight blocks wind while the elastane content keeps the fit comfortable through a full day of wear.
• Tailored blazers and suits: viscose and elastane together give a clean line without the stiffness of a pure wool suiting.
• Capes and ponchos: the brushed surface reads as luxurious even in a simple, loose-cut pattern.
• Fitted skirts and winter dresses: the stretch allows a close fit that a non-stretch flannel couldn't manage.

If you're after a different hand or drape for outerwear, gabardine fabric is worth comparing for its firmer, twill-woven structure, while boiled wool fabric gives a denser, felted alternative for structured coats.

Ordering by the metre and stock options

You buy this coat cloth by the metre, cut to the length you need for a single coat or a full production run. Wholesale pricing applies from 6 metres, and it's also available on 50-metre rolls for larger projects, which suits both home sewists and small manufacturers.

Colours and how to combine it

With over 12 shades in the range, from classic neutrals to deeper seasonal tones, you have room to match linings, buttons and trims without compromise. For garments that pair a brushed coat body with a smoother contrast panel, cotton twill fabric or tencel twill fabric work well as a secondary fabric, and boucle fabric is a common choice for textured collar or cuff details on the same coat.

A practical choice for coat and jacket projects

Coat jacket fabric flannel brushed gives you a warm, stretch-enhanced base for coats, blazers and capes, with a soft finish that still holds its shape. Order by the metre, request a swatch first if you want to check the colour in hand, and take advantage of wholesale pricing if you're cutting for multiple garments.
