Colour Chart: Cut & Sew Fabric
We are unable to stock all colours in all available fabrics and therefore have a defined standard colours range and in addition, a range that is identified as our special colour range. Special colour fabrics often have longer lead times and are also price and quantity sensitive, please take a note of this when ordering. Our standard colour fabrics are normally readily available for our bespoke manufacturing process.
Fabrics not shown as being stocked in the colour of your choice can be sourced, however minimum order quantities will apply. Many Samurai garments are enhanced with the use of piping or textile tape. Piping and textile tape are available in 23 colours. Both are excellent ways of incorporating special colours into your bespoke garments without having to meet high minimum order quantities.
