Stretch Gabardine Fabric (Bamboo Touch) Olive

Stretch Gabardine Fabric (Bamboo Touch) Olive

Look closely at the folds in this fabric and you can see the fine diagonal twill line that gives gabardine its name, catching the light differently depending on the angle. The colour reads as a muted olive, somewhere between khaki and moss green, which makes it easy to combine with other neutrals in a wardrobe. What really sets this piece apart is the hand feel, it has that soft bamboo-like touch that makes it drape with a bit of body rather than hanging stiff or flat.

What kind of fabric is this?

This is a stretch gabardine fabric, woven with the classic diagonal twill structure but blended with viscose and a touch of Lycra for movement. The polyester content keeps the fabric stable and helps it hold its shape after wear, while the viscose adds that softer, more natural surface feel you notice when you run your hand over it. The 2% Lycra gives just enough stretch for comfortable fit without turning the fabric into something that feels like activewear. At 270 grams per square meter it sits in a mid to heavier weight range, substantial enough for structured garments but not too thick to work with.

What can you make with this fabric?
