Fabric Overview
Gaberdine is a tough, tightly woven fabric known for its durability, wrinkle resistance, and sleek finish. Invented in 1879 by Thomas Burberry (founder of the iconic Burberry fashion house), Gaberdine’s twill weave creates a diagonal texture, which enhances its strength and resilience. This fabric is a popular choice for practical yet stylish garments, particularly uniforms, workwear, trousers, and skirts, due to its ability to retain shape and withstand wear and tear.
Key Features:
- Durability: Thanks to its polyester-cotton blend and tight weave, Gaberdine resists abrasions, making it perfect for daily wear.
- Easy Maintenance: The polyester content offers excellent wrinkle resistance, while the cotton ensures breathability.
- Versatility: Its plain design and medium weight (242 gsm) make it suitable for both structured and flowing garments.
Ideal Uses
Gaberdine fabric is renowned for its versatility and is particularly well-suited for:
- Uniforms: Ideal for school, work, and service uniforms due to its professional appearance and durability.
- Trousers and Skirts: Provides a structured yet comfortable fit, with a polished look.
- Outerwear: Light jackets or trench coats benefit from the fabric’s water resistance and tough texture.
- Crafting Projects: Suitable for aprons, bags, or other sturdy yet stylish accessories.
