#299 Italy Midnight Broken Stretch

A showcase of technique where every element is dialed in and the resulting whole benefits immensely. It starts old-school style with a broken twill. The broken twill weave was used by Wrangler in the 60's in an attempt to combat the leg twist you get in left or right hand twills. You don't see a well defined twill line on either front or back surfaces which gives this fabric a different character. Next comes color, and we know Italy is a master. The warp is a wonderfully dark midnight navy. Instead of a traditional white weft, this version uses jet black. The result is an intensely dark blue surface that can be rugged or refined. Finally, modern yarns are used to add stretch. The comfort is massively enhanced. This is the complete package jammed with stellar technique. Enjoy this one.
