NY designer quilted grid matelasse' knit - dark charcoal

This fabulous 3-ply matelasse' knit from a NY designer has a quilted grid pattern with a 1/2" repeat. It is textured, supple and soft, and the color is a dark charcoal, with black and cream on the reverse (PANTONE 19-3908-ish). The quilted texture appears on both sides, but the back is a flatter weave. It is medium weight and opaque with a body in the drape and about 30% widthwise stretch. Such a versatile fabric that is perfect for a casual jacket or coat, vest, or a warm lining for a jacket or coat, etc. If you wish to try hand- or gentle machine-washing, please test first, and hang to dry.
