This first-rate blended fibre, coating fabric was originally made for a top British designer. Woven in Italy by master weavers in a double-cloth twill, dual layers give a soft and almost padded feel. Sartorial Navy - Padded Double Twill is a classic deep and colour saturated Naval Blue, full of sartorial elegance.
Boasting a lightly textured wool-like feel, the face side displays a staggering twill with a light almost crepe-like texture(but is still soft and malleable). The reverse side of Sartorial Navy displays its classic twill weave, with the lightly raised diagonal lines that create extra density, (the reverse side is slightly lighter tone).
This high quality, coat weight fabric is stable both width and lengthwise and has a reassuringly heavy drape quality perfect for jacket, coat and cape making.
Ideal garments to make are classic overcoats, cocoon coats, pea coats, simple but stylish capes, classic heavy trench coat styles and simple neat collarless jackets. Keep your design choices simple and let Sartorial Navy showcase its sharp elegance.

Benefits of sewing with Wool! 🐑
We love wonderful wool! Why? Because it looks beautiful, well yes but did you know wool has a series of superpowers that make it the most incredible natural fibre, suitable for more garment suggestions and sewing inspiration than possibly any other?
Wool has a unique naturally crimped 3D structure which attributes to some brilliant properties & makes it a great fabric to wear throughout all the seasons.
Naturally Breathable: This amazing 3D crimped structure promotes air circulation allowing air to pass through the fabric, allowing for circulation and ventilation for your skin to breathe, keeping you cool.
Shower Resistant: Sheep naturally produce a waxy substance called lanolin. As sheep live outdoors, this naturally occurring wax helps to protect sheep from the elements, naturally shedding water & keeping them dry. This same property is retained within the wool fibres when spun into yarn.
Moisture Absorbing: The moisture-retentive superpowers of wool! It’s hydrophilic core gives wool the ability to wick away moisture keeping you dry and comfortable – this possibly one of our favourite properties because you can stay fresh when wearing wool, from autumn right through to spring!
