Gabardine

Gabardine is a twill weave. The threads cross at an offset and form fine diagonal ribs that you can clearly see on the face of the fabric. The back is smoother.

Because the weave is so dense, gabardine feels firm and creases little. Even at the end of a long day the gandoura still has its shape.

Gabardine became known in the late 19th century. Thomas Burberry, an English outfitter, developed a particularly dense weave that kept out the rain, and patented it. It was first woven from wool, later also from cotton and blended fibres.

For our gandouras we use gabardine made from viscose and polyester. The viscose makes the fabric soft and gives it a slight sheen, and the polyester makes it hard-wearing and slow to crease.

The gandoura drapes fluidly and still keeps its clean line, even when you sit for a long time or are out all day. Every piece is made in Morocco.

You can wear gabardine all year round. In winter, just put a coat over it.

Wash the gandoura inside out and with similar colours. Temperature and drying are listed on each product page. Iron on a low setting with a cloth between the iron and the fabric, otherwise you get shiny marks.
