Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Petrol

Stretch Coat Fabric (Flannel Brush) Petrol

This petrol coat fabric has a deep, saturated blue-green tone that shifts beautifully between light and shadow, as you can see in the rolled folds. The brushed flannel surface gives it a soft, slightly fuzzy hand feel while still holding enough body to shape a proper coat silhouette. It drapes with a nice heavy fall, the kind of fabric that looks expensive the moment you unroll it.

What kind of fabric is this

This is a flannel brushed coating fabric with a bit of stretch built in, thanks to the elastane content blended with polyester and viscose. The brushing process raises a fine nap on the surface, giving it that soft, matte look you see in the photo rather than a sheen. The stretch component makes it more forgiving to sew and wear compared to a rigid wool coating, and it still holds a crisp fold and clean seam. It is a substantial weight, so it holds structure without feeling stiff or board-like.

Projects and applications

This petrol flannel brush fabric is built for outerwear, but it has more range than you might expect at first glance. Some ideas to get you started:

• Winter coats and overcoats with a tailored fit
• Structured jackets and blazers
• Capes and ponchos where drape matters
• Wide-leg trousers or culottes for a statement look
• Skirts with a bit of body and swing
• Waistcoats and structured vests
• Home decor accents like cushion covers or throws
• Lined bags or structured totes
