GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
This is a seriously lovely Italian moleskin, woven from 100% cotton with the beautifully soft face that makes a good moleskin such a pleasure to wear. The reverse reveals its more substantial twill construction, giving the cloth strength and body beneath that smooth, almost velvety surface. The colour is particularly good: a very pale mustard yellow with a creamy, slightly banana-like hue to it. Unusual, sophisticated and far easier to wear than a brighter yellow.
At approximately 307gsm, this is proper suiting weight cloth with enough substance for beautifully structured trousers and jackets while retaining the comfort you expect from cotton. It would make a fabulous trouser suit, tailored jacket, waistcoat or gilet, overshirt, chore jacket or skirt. Woven in Italy and sourced from an ex-designer line, it feels every bit as special as its origins suggest; luxurious, beautifully finished and a rather wonderful choice if you want tailoring in something softer and more interesting than the usual neutrals.
