A Practical Guide to Cotton Lawn Fabric
Cotton lawn is one of those fabrics you come back to, light, breathable and easy to sew. A guide to how it feels, what to make and where to start.
There's something reassuringly understated about a well-made cotton fabric, and this Italian-woven khaki green cloth is exactly that. Produced for an ex-designer British menswear brand with a strong following in Japan, it has the kind of quality that doesn't need shouting about. The finish is clean and refined, the handle is soft and smooth, and the colour sits somewhere between olive and military green, making it endlessly wearable.
At 180gsm, it bridges the gap between shirting and lightweight trousering beautifully. Structured enough for overshirts, utility-inspired garments and relaxed trousers, yet soft enough for shirts, shirt dresses and lightweight jackets. A versatile wardrobe fabric with a timeless feel, equally at home in men's and women's sewing projects.
