Sometimes the simplest fabrics are the hardest working. This khaki cotton and linen cloth has a beautifully natural, understated appearance with a soft matte finish and an earthy olive-brown tone that works effortlessly across every season. Woven from 55% linen and 45% cotton, it combines the crisp character of linen with the added softness and durability of cotton, creating a fabric that feels substantial without becoming heavy.
At approximately 212gsm, it has enough body to hold shape while still producing a flattering, easy drape that works particularly well for relaxed tailoring. Think overshirts, chore jackets, utility dresses, wide-leg trousers, pinafores and structured skirts. It has that dependable, honest quality that only seems to improve with wear, making it a versatile choice for garments designed to be worn again and again.
