Custard Cream

This is one of those cotton twills you pick up and immediately want to keep handling. Woven in Italy from 100% cotton, it has been beautifully softened to give it an exceptionally smooth, supple handle, while retaining the subtle diagonal structure of a classic twill weave. The warm natural cream colour has tiny flecks within the cloth that give it a lovely, understated character rather than the starkness of a brilliant white.

At approximately 229gsm, it sits in that wonderfully useful middle ground: substantial enough to have body, yet soft and fluid enough to be comfortable for clothing. It would make gorgeous trousers, relaxed jackets, overshirts, skirts, dresses and utility-style pieces, and we think it will be an absolute pleasure to sew. If you like natural-looking cottons with a premium handle, this is a particularly lovely cloth.

• Please allow 2-10% shrinkage on fabrics to be on the safe side. Wash before making up in the same manner as you would with subsequent washes (including drying methods)
• Please test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash your chosen fabrics, as we cannot accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
• Whilst every effort is made, we cannot guarantee that the colours you see on your screen are accurate because every screen shows colours differently.
