Hi all,

I am looking for help with identifying the fabric of this 60s opera coat. The brand is Marcwyn. I thought it's gabardine but it's quite sleek so I am not sure that's right.

That is a lovely coat. I also thought it looks a bit like Alaskine or a plump shantung. However in the close ups it looks like a knit fabric and not at all like either of those two fabrics. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me?
 
Thank you, Barbara. I love this coat! I don't think it's a knit fabric but then again identifying fabric is something I have a really hard time with. It is a heavy fabric with quite a bit of sheen so alaskine seems like a good match. Shantung, I think is much more lightweight.
