Gabardine is a tightly woven, hard-wearing fabric with a smooth finish and slight sheen, loved for its durability and smart appearance. Traditionally made from cotton, polyester or blends of both, gabardine drapes beautifully while maintaining structure, making it a popular choice for tailoring, trousers, skirts, jackets and uniforms.
Its distinctive twill weave gives the fabric strength and resistance to creasing, while the smooth surface makes it comfortable to wear and easy to sew. Whether you’re creating classic tailored pieces or everyday wardrobe staples, gabardine offers a professional, polished finish that stands the test of time.
