The new Smoking wool gabardine is online!
This winter you fell in love with our magnificent Grain de poudre Smoking fabric: a very high-end fabric, 100% virgin wool, in a deep black, from a dormant stock of the LVMH group. We offered it to you in the sewing box of the Metropolis jacket, for an exceptional hand-sewn garment. We were also able to offer some of this fabric for sale by the meter, but due to its supply it was quickly sold out, and impossible to restock it.
Looking for a new fabric
We received a lot of demand for this type of material, and we actively monitored our deadstocker to offer you a fabric that meets this level of quality. When new promising rolls were offered to us, I went to Paris to confirm that the material met our expectations. And tadammmm, it's a wonderful wool gabardine that has just arrived at the workshop!!! This 100% wool fabric is woven in Japan, and the fibers have been specially treated so that the fabric creases as little as possible (but ironing is fine, I assure you). Like our previous fabric, it has a magnificent drape, a deep black color and a slightly satin appearance due to the tight weave of the fibers. It is not the same fabric as the grain of powder which has a slightly different weave, but the quality and rendering will be just as qualitative.
Our ideas for sewing Smoking wool gabardine
Soft and medium weight (200 g/m2), it will allow you to sew a jacket, a blazer, pants, or even a dress or a trapeze skirt with a little hold.
Our Metropolis jacket pattern will of course be enhanced in this new Smoking fabric, with our light gold jewel buttons which give it a truly couture look.
And during our L'Œil Fauve shoot this winter, I married the grain de poudre with our elegant Drama Tweed to sew a chic Sable jacket , worn with matching Brooklyn pants . You can definitely recreate the idea with our new Smoking wool gabardine .
Again, we only have a limited quantity of this fabric available because we do not produce it, we bought the 2 available rolls from the deadstocker. I wish you a great discovery of the new Smoking fabric by Maison Fauve !
