Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Black

Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Black

This black flannel brush fabric has a deep, matte surface with a fine brushed nap that softens the light instead of reflecting it. Up close you can see the dense, fuzzy texture typical of good flannel brush coating, the kind that gives a finished coat that cozy, insulated look. It folds and drapes with a bit of weight and body, holding a clean line while still moving with you thanks to the stretch woven through it.

What kind of fabric is this

This is a brushed flannel coating fabric with a bit of built in stretch, which sets it apart from a classic rigid wool coating. The brushing process raises a soft nap on the surface, giving it that matte, almost velvety look and a warmer hand feel. Because of the stretch content, this fabric is more forgiving to sew and wear than a traditional flannel, it moves with the body without losing its shape or structure. The black colourway is deep and even, with no sheen, which makes it easy to match with other fabrics and trims. It has enough weight to feel substantial on the bolt yet drapes well once made up into a garment.

Applications and projects

This fabric works well anywhere you want structure with a bit of ease built in. Some ideas to get you started:

• Tailored winter coats and overcoats
• Cropped or oversized jackets
• Blazers with a softer, brushed finish
• Structured skirts and wide leg trousers
• Capes and ponchos
• Vests and gilets for layering
• Statement collars and cuffs on mixed fabric garments
• Home sewing projects like cushion covers or throws

Looking for something different

If this particular fabric is not quite what you had in mind, we also carry a bouclé in 100% polyester with a distinctive, looped texture that works nicely for fashion pieces, and a walkloden in 100% wool. Both are worth a look if you want a different hand feel or finish for your next coat project.
