Just in from a top French mill, OH MY GOSH... this is an amazing fabric. The colors are so vivid and fresh, and the combination of exquisitely-patterned bands with an intricate weave and some gold metallic yarns make for a winning combination! The fabric has a 31" repeat, and is a suiting/coating weight with a cottony hand and lots of body in the drape. It has a basketweave-y texture, and a natural fiber feel (with the exception of the gold metallic). The colors are sky blue, aqua, slate, royal purple, white and gold metallic (PANTONE 16-4530, 19-3842, 18-4217, 15-5217, etc.). It should be lined as the gold metallic yarns are a bit "scratchy" on the wrong side. Perfect for a topper coat or jacket (ala Kenneth King, perhaps?). Dry cleaning recommended. contents: poly/nylon/metwidth: 60"origin: France
