'Blue Leopard' Jacquard Denim
- 75% Cotton 25% Poly
- 335gsm
- 175cm wide
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100
I have been waiting patiently for this denim, and it exceeds expectations. Leopard prints are very popular, and while I always grab the Fabric Godmother classic leopard print denims when they are available, I jumped at the chance of getting this blue jacquard version of a leopard design. I haven't taken too many images of the 'back' but note that you can choose the side with more 'white', or the blue-dominant side. For those you love playing with pattern, it would be great to feature both sides in a make! There is a little texture due to the jacquard, but this is soft. I can't get any more of this beauty so don't hesitate. ;-)
This stunning denim is 335gsm, but it's not stiff. Like 'Into the Fray' it's quite drapey (for this weight) and it's malleable. Your jackets will feel soft and your trousers will have gorgeous drape.
The fibre content is 75% cotton and 25% poly, but I cannot 'feel' the poly. The addition of the poly fibre is for stability during production, whilst keeping the weave fine. Consider jacket (from a blazer to a shacket), long wrap coat, skirt, pants, pinafore, overalls etc. Team with classic white or chambray, or bold plains. Enjoy you leopard denim.
