Town Khaki is a subdued, earthy textile with a muted olive-brown cast and a finely grained surface. Its plain face is enlivened by delicate vertical striations that become visible across the swatch.

About this fabric

The closely woven surface reads as matte and understated, with fine vertical irregularities adding gentle movement rather than a distinct pattern. This colourway sits between olive, khaki and soft brown, creating a shaded, grounded appearance rather than a bright green. The even textile weight visible here makes it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Town Khaki on a tailored chair or relaxed curtain to introduce a quiet olive-brown note alongside warm timber, stone, linen and deeper brown accents. Its low-contrast surface also works well as a calm bridge between greener and taupe neutrals.

Use this subdued olive-khaki weave to bring quiet depth to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Town Khaki 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.
