FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DIGITAL PATTERN 6009
Use warm, structured coating fabrics to maintain the tailored form:
- Wool or wool-blend coating (solid, twill, or melton)
- Brushed wool blends with body
- Tonal lining for full inner coverage
Avoid soft, drapey, or lightweight materials—they compromise the integrity of the silhouette.
