Wool elastique blend fabric has a distinctive diagonal ribbed pattern, a result of its double weave, which is thicker than that of gabardine or serge. Elastique is a heavier weight fabric that is especially durable, holds creases well and resist wrinkles, lending to its popularity in military uniforms. The material is a great choice for cooler climates, as the double weave provides warmth as well as a professional look. Wool elastique blend fabric is a favorite of military and civilian uniforms, and also works well in suits, slacks and skirts.
