Upholstery & Heavy Weight
Military Cloth Flax
One of our favorite fabrics. Military cloth is a smooth tightly woven linen suitable for upholstery and cushioning, heavy curtains and all manner of accesories. Visible scarification lives throughout the fabric as a living patina. One of the easiest fabrics in our collection to sew and cut and work with.
