There's no reason to brush this option off, the 9 oz Black Brushed Cotton Duvetyne is as soft as it is durable. For those unfamiliar with duvetyne fabrics, the term refers to a twill that carries a velvet or suede-like nap on one side. The soft and durable fabric is a great choice for costuming applications, fall coats, an unorthodox trench coat, or even vests! Its opaque structure means a lining is not needed but may be used if the project calls for one.
