We’ve unearthed a fabulous range of cotton twills in colours perfect for your A/W wardrobe. This deep olive cotton twill fabric is a rich, dark shade of olive green; more yellow than a khaki and stopping short of a brown, too. It complements ochres, golds, purples, rusts and clean, fresh neutrals. Think simple jeans, shape-holding cropped trousers and casual jackets.
What kind of fabric is this?
Our deep olive cotton twill fabric has a classic diagonal twill weave. We’d describe it as a medium-weight twill, with excellent opacity for its weight. This is a 100% cotton fabric – there’s a very little mechanical ease across its width and on the bias but the give is minimal.
What does this fabric feel like?
Although a robust fabric, our deep olive cotton twill fabric has a crisp handle. The reverse is a smooth drill weave and will be perfectly comfortable next to the skin.
How does this fabric move?
This is a very pliable fabric which isn’t in the least bulky. However despite that fact, it’s not a draping fabric. It holds a shape and falls into angled folds as you can see from this video.

Will I need to line this fabric?
A pair of trousers or casual jacket in this fabric won’t need lining. However a dress, skirt or more formal jacket could be lined in order to add shape and structure; also to enable ease of movement when being worn or when you’re taking it on and off.
What can I make with this fabric?
Our rich olive cotton twill fabric is perfect for casual skirts and jean-style jackets as well as jean-style and fitted trousers. We’ve got our eye on the ‘Ottoline’ jacket from Merchant & Mills which will use the structure of this fabric to good effect. The design also reflects the utilitarian nature of this twill.
