Stretch Gabardine Fabric Dusty Green (Bamboo Touch)

Stretch Gabardine Fabric Dusty Green (Bamboo Touch)

This gabardine shows a fine, tight diagonal weave in a muted dusty green that shifts gently between grey and sage depending on the light. The surface has a soft, almost matte sheen and folds into smooth, rounded drapes rather than sharp creases, which tells you right away this fabric moves well on the body. Run your hand over it and you notice the subtle bamboo-like softness, a nice contrast to the structured gabardine weave underneath.

What kind of fabric is this?

This is a stretch gabardine made from a blend of 65% polyester, 33% viscose and 2% lycra. The polyester gives the fabric its durability and keeps it affordable, while the viscose is responsible for that soft, bamboo-like hand feel that makes the fabric pleasant against the skin. The small percentage of lycra adds just enough stretch for comfortable movement without turning the fabric into a stretchy knit. At 270 gram/m2 it has a solid, substantial weight, so it drapes with body instead of feeling flimsy or see-through. You get the structured look of classic gabardine fabric combined with a softer, more comfortable finish.

The dusty green shade and the sturdy but soft handle make this gabardine a good match for structured garments that still need to move with the wearer.
