This fine worsted suiting fabric, woven in Yorkshire by Alfred Browns at Guiseley, West Yorkshire, has the smartest feather-striped design.  

Royal & Navy Feather-stripe  is woven in fine navy and royal blue worsted yarns in a complex staggered twill weave which resembles the fine filaments of feathers. The dark navy showcases the royal blue feather-stripes spaced at 4mm intervals. This clever weaving process produces a finely textured fabric with subtle hazy stripes which boast a subtle shimmering sheen, creating understated elegance. This fine worsted suiting fabric is stable and strong and boasts a delicious medium/light weight drape with a subtle sheen, which catches the light and begs to be used for elegant attire. After all... suiting is not just for suits. Take a look at our blog Pattern Suggestions for Suiting Fabrics.

Put this fabulous Yorkshire woven worsted to use for super smart work attire such as wide-legged, Audrey Hepburn style trousers, culottes and classic pleat fronted trousers, neat pencil skirts, dresses and fit & flare dresses. Utilise the excellent drape quality and add feminine ruffle details to your skirts and dresses; peplums and fish tail hemlines - perfect on '50s style wiggle dresses. Neat shift dresses and pinafores will become key work wear pieces made in this flawless fabric. Add a blue shirt to bring out  the pinstripes and you are good to go!
