Use - Jacket fabric
The jacket fabric determines how striking a look appears and how robust it feels. Many labels rely on these qualities because they provide structure and last a long time. From smooth to distinctly textured, you'll find fabrics with character and substance.
Jacket fabrics are usually denser weaves in medium to heavier weights to provide shape and support the silhouette. Wool and wool blends are popular for a high-quality, warming effect, while twill and canvas appear more robust and clean. Textured fabrics like bouclé bring surface and depth, while coated qualities or technical variants are more focused on protection and everyday suitability. Depending on the weight, lighter jacket fabrics are made for transitional wear, or more structured types for greater shape.
Typical fabric types:
• Wool, wool blends
• Twill, canvas
• Bouclé, textured fabrics
• Quilted qualities
• Coated fabrics
• Blends with polyester
Key properties:
Jacket fabrics are durable and shape-retaining, and many qualities remain visually stable even with frequent wear. High-quality versions have good resilience, resulting in a neater, less creased appearance. Texture can make the fabric look more refined and interesting while also often masking small signs of wear. Depending on the material, warmth, wind protection or a clean, smooth look can be the main focus.
Care instructions:
Air out and brush more often than frequent washing, especially with wool qualities. Professional cleaning is the safest option for many jacket fabrics, as construction and interlinings can be delicate. When ironing, use steam and a cloth to avoid shiny or pressed marks. Only treat coated versions as per care label and do not iron too hot.
