Raincoat Fabric Army Green - Water-Repellent

Raincoat Fabric Army Green

One look at the photo tells you exactly what this fabric is known for: a deep, understated army green with a crisp, matte finish where raindrops bead up beautifully. The surface has a subtle texture but holds its color evenly, without any shiny sheen that feels out of place. That's what makes this fabric so popular with anyone who wants to sew a functional rain jacket that also looks tough and timeless.

Product Features:

• Item Number: R375004
• Composition: 55% Polyester 45% Polyurethane
• Width: 142 cm
• Weight: 200 gram/m2

What is this material

This is a coated construction where a polyester base gets a polyurethane layer on top. That combination creates a firm, structure-holding fabric with a structured drape that doesn't sag but keeps its shape. The coating gives the fabric its matte finish and stops water from soaking straight into the fibers. Since the fabric doesn't stretch, a jacket or poncho keeps its fit well, even after heavy wear.

Water-repellent, not waterproof

It's worth knowing before you cut: this fabric is water-repellent thanks to the polyurethane coating, but that's not the same as fully waterproof. Raindrops roll right off, as you can see in the photo, but during heavy or prolonged rain or under pressure (like when sitting), moisture can eventually seep through. For a rain jacket, poncho or bag, that's rarely a problem in real use, but it's good to know upfront so your expectations match what the fabric actually delivers.
