Stretch Gabardine Fabric (Bamboo Touch) Brown

Stretch Gabardine Fabric (Bamboo Touch) Brown

This deep chocolate brown gabardine has that fine diagonal twill you can see catching the light in every fold. The surface feels smooth and slightly cool to the touch, with a soft sheen that reads as understated rather than shiny. It drapes with weight and structure at once, which is exactly what you want from a good gabardine, and the rich brown tone works well for both classic and modern designs.

What kind of fabric is this?

This is a stretch gabardine fabric made from a blend of polyester, viscose and a touch of lycra. The viscose content gives it that soft, almost bamboo-like hand feel, while the polyester keeps the fabric durable and easy to care for. The small percentage of lycra adds just enough stretch to move with the body without losing the crisp structure gabardine is known for. At 270 grams per square meter, it has real substance, so it holds its shape in tailored pieces yet still feels comfortable to wear.
