About this fabric

Catalogued as a Velvet, Alpakhan Militare has a plush-looking surface with fine tonal variation across the swatch. The colour reads as a restrained military olive, softened by charcoal-grey flecks and a low, weathered saturation. Light catches the textured pile unevenly, revealing subtle changes from dusky green to near graphite. With no discernible motif, the character comes entirely from this mottled colour and tactile surface.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted olive on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its charcoal undertone can balance warm timber, aged brass and natural linen. It also suits a darker, layered scheme without introducing a bright accent colour.

Use this deep, greyed olive velvet to bring quiet richness and tactile depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Alpakhan Militare is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
