Dark brown has a classic, understated character, commonly used for trousers, skirts, overshirts and simple dresses where you want a dark base colour as an alternative to black. The colour also works for interior details such as cushions and light curtains when more depth in the colour palette is desired.

Woven cotton canvas at this weight is well suited when you want a firm quality that is stable to cut and sew. The dark colour also provides good coverage and a consistent appearance in the finished garment. This helps when producing in runs and minimising visible variation.

Fabric stores often order dark base colours for the shelf range because they sell year-round and can be used for many types of garments. Smaller producers choose dark brown for capsule collections where a limited number of colours need to work across styles. A common question: does dark cotton fade in washing? Colours can change over time, so recommend gentle washing and inside out to maintain the look from wash to wash.

Wash at 30°C, preferably inside out, for the longest life. It can be washed at 40°C without shrinking. Pre-washing is recommended before cutting. Avoid tumble drying and iron as needed.
