About this fabric

The close-up reveals a military olive ground threaded with fine grey-brown variation, creating softly mottled depth rather than a flat block colour. The even, dense-looking weave reads as more substantial than a fine, fluid cloth, making this colourway best suited to upholstery. No composition, width, performance feature or rub-test specification has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this subdued olive-grey on a tailored armchair, dining seat or sofa, where its restrained depth can sit comfortably beside charcoal, warm oak, leather and aged metal.

Pair the muted military olive with warm timber, charcoal upholstery and aged brass for a grounded, quietly tailored scheme.

Pairs well with

Gobi Military 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.
