A distinctive 100% wool designer deadstock coating fabric featuring a richly textured wool face in sophisticated dark brown and black tones. The yarn-dyed construction creates subtle tonal variation and depth, giving the fabric an understated appearance that reveals more detail when viewed up close.

The wool face is yarn-dyed, meaning the yarns are dyed before weaving rather than the colour being printed onto the finished surface. Dark brown and black tones are integrated directly into the woven construction, creating a nuanced mélange-like effect with fine linear texture and beautiful visual depth.

At a substantial 515 gsm, this is a true heavyweight coating fabric with excellent body and structure. The wool face provides the rich hand and distinctive character expected from a substantial wool coating, making it particularly well suited to structured fall and winter outerwear.

The reverse features an applied backing that is distinct from the wool face. This additional layer contributes to the fabric's substantial construction and stability. The exact composition and technical properties of the backing are unknown, so no waterproof or water-resistant performance is claimed.

The stated 100% wool composition refers to the face fabric. Because the composition of the applied backing is unknown, it is not included in the stated fibre content. The backing forms part of the fabric itself and should not be confused with a separate garment lining.

The dark brown and black colour combination is exceptionally versatile. From a distance, the fabric reads as a very deep, almost black brown, while closer inspection reveals the warmer brown yarns woven throughout the surface. The result is a refined neutral that pairs beautifully with black, charcoal, camel, cream and other classic outerwear colours.

As a designer deadstock fabric, this wool comes from surplus designer production and is available only in limited quantities. Once the available yardage is sold, it may not be possible to restock.

Sewing Tip: At 515 gsm, choose sewing patterns designed for heavyweight coating fabrics and grade or trim bulky seam allowances where necessary. Because of the applied backing, test needles, pressing temperatures and sewing techniques on a scrap before beginning your project. A separate garment lining is recommended for coats and jackets to create a comfortable and polished interior finish.
