This elegant camel suiting fabric has a beautifully smooth, lightly textured surface and an effortless drape that makes it a pleasure to sew and wear. Woven in a warm camel shade, it offers a timeless look that works equally well for smart tailoring and everyday wardrobe staples. The addition of viscose gives the cloth a softer, more fluid handle, while a touch of Lycra provides subtle comfort without affecting the fabric's clean, tailored appearance.
Produced for one of Britain's best-known high street fashion brands, this quality deadstock fabric has enough body for beautifully structured garments while still moving gracefully. At around 349gsm, it's an excellent choice for blazers, tailored dresses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and lightweight coats. The slight stretch in both directions (under 5%) offers just enough ease for comfortable wear while maintaining a crisp, polished finish.
