A versatile and durable 100% cotton gabardine twill fabric with a clean surface, defined diagonal weave and excellent body. Woven entirely from cotton, this fabric combines the strength and structure associated with gabardine with the natural comfort and breathability of cotton.
At 250 gsm / 7.37 oz/yd², this medium-weight twill has enough substance to hold its shape beautifully without becoming excessively heavy or rigid. Its balance of structure and flexibility makes it especially versatile for trousers, chinos, skirts, jackets, overshirts, jumpsuits and workwear-inspired garments.
The gabardine twill construction creates the characteristic fine diagonal ribs visible across the surface of the fabric. This tightly woven structure gives the fabric a refined appearance and excellent durability, making it a practical choice for garments designed for frequent wear.
Unlike stretch gabardines that contain elastane, this fabric is woven from 100% cotton with no added stretch. This gives it a more traditional woven hand and makes it particularly suitable for patterns designed for stable woven fabrics.
Available in a selection of rich solid colours, this cotton gabardine can be used for both timeless wardrobe staples and more statement-making garments. Black is a classic and versatile neutral, Thyme offers a sophisticated muted green, while Fuchsia brings a vibrant pop of colour.
This fabric is OEKO-TEX® Class I certified, the most stringent OEKO-TEX product class, which applies to textiles intended for babies and young children. It is also REACH compliant, meeting European requirements regarding restricted chemical substances.
With its generous 150 cm - 59" width, this cotton gabardine provides plenty of usable width for apparel and larger sewing projects.
