Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Cobalt

Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Cobalt

This cobalt fabric has that deep, saturated blue you only get with a properly brushed flannel surface. The nap catches the light in soft, velvety waves, giving the fabric real depth rather than a flat, printed look. Cut edges fray slightly into a soft fringe, which tells you straight away this has body and a good hand feel. It drapes with weight but still has enough give thanks to the stretch content, so it moves with you instead of standing stiff.

What kind of material is this

This is a brushed flannel coating fabric built from a polyester and viscose blend with a touch of elastane worked in for stretch. The brushing process raises a soft fuzzy nap on the surface, which is what gives flannel its warmth and that slightly muted, matte sheen you see in the cobalt colourway. The viscose content softens the hand and adds a subtle sheen underneath the brushed texture, while the elastane means the fabric recovers its shape after wear instead of bagging out at the elbows or knees. It sits on the heavier side, so it holds a garment's structure well without needing much interlining.
