If the precise colour, weight and feel of the fabric is important for your decision, and the photos aren’t giving you enough detail, the best option to eliminate disappointment is to use the Swatch Service.  Each Swatch is .50c.  See under the 'About' tab for more details. 

This amazing quality designer denim is Made in Turkey.  It is very dark blue and it looks sharp with black.  It is approx 250gsm (approx. 7.5-8oz denim), thus a fantastic weight for jeans.  Due to the weight it would suit skinny leg, straight, and wide leg style jeans.  This is a perfect weight for a Stacker Jacket (Papercut Patterns), but would suit any denim jacket pattern.  Also consider exploring A-Line coat patterns, and giving a blazer or jacket pattern a modern edge.  It would also be a classic straight skirt.  This is a designer – dead stock fabric, so once it is gone, it is gone.

For your cloth edit consider:  semi-fitted or boxy jackets and blazers.  Consider A-Line coats, straight and A-Line skirts, jeans, pants, and fitted dresses.

Cloth Care:

Cotton is an easy care fibre as it is strong when wet, and so it can be machine washed.  The 2% Spandex in this stretch woven means that tumble drying will adversely affect the fabric.  Do Not Tumble Dry.  The finished garment will look better and last longer if it is shaken out when wet, and placed on a hanger to dry.  To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade.   While cotton needs a hot iron, the elastane content means you will need to test the fabric, so start on a cooler setting, and iron on the wrong side. We suggest cushioning darts when ironing so the dart doesn’t show through on the right side.
