Soft Waffle Weave Sage Green Brocade

This is a sage green brocade woven with a waffle-textured surface, giving it a raised, pocketed pattern rather than the smooth jacquard finish typical of most brocades. The colour is a soft, muted sage green throughout.

Brocades are traditionally woven with raised, often floral or figured patterns, giving the cloth body and a slightly stiff hand that holds its shape well. The waffle weave here adds a tactile, textured quality on top of that structure, with a soft touch rather than a crisp one. It has a moderate weight, with little to no sheen, and is opaque.

Brocade of this type is a classic choice for structured garments such as jackets, waistcoats and occasionwear, including groomswear, where its texture and body help a garment hold its shape. It also suits soft furnishings such as cushions and upholstery accents where a textured, patterned surface is wanted.

When cutting and sewing, take care with the textured surface: pressing should be done gently, ideally with a pressing cloth, to avoid flattening the waffle texture. As with many structured weaves, pattern pieces are best laid out with the pattern direction consistent if the texture has any visible directionality.
