Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Dark Grey Melange

Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Dark Grey Melange

This dark grey melange flannel has that classic brushed finish, soft and slightly fuzzy under the light, with a matte surface that swallows shine rather than reflecting it. The way the fabric folds in on itself shows a nice bit of body and structure, holding its shape without feeling stiff. It is the kind of cloth that looks heavier than it feels on the hand, with a fine, even texture running through the melange grey.

What kind of fabric is this

This is a stretch flannel fabric with a brushed finish, meaning the surface has been treated to raise a soft, fine nap that gives it that fuzzy, warm look and touch. The stretch component makes it more forgiving to work with than a traditional rigid flannel, so it moves a bit with the body once sewn into a garment. The dark grey melange colouring is not flat, it has subtle depth and variation that reads as a proper heathered tone rather than a solid grey. It drapes with enough weight to hang well on a coat silhouette while still being manageable to sew and press.
