Soft shell is such a clever fabric and it’s becoming more and more popular in technical outdoor gear. A water repellent, tightly woven outer layer bonded to a soft fleece inner layer. The exterior blocks the wind and is largely rain resistant, while the fleece interior is comfortable and warm against the skin without need for a lining - great for layering on a rainy day.

This fabric is relatively light weight and pliable compared to most softshells. It should be treated as a woven fabric and would look terrific as a bomberjacket, paired with some complementary ribbing.

This fabric has a warm mustard base, and a repeating design of stylised flowers in red, grey, white and green. The fleecy reverse is a light grey.

Patterns we would recommend include the Eden Coat by Tilly and the Buttons and TPC4 The Bomber by Trend Patterns
