6017 Waxed Crinkle Lyocell Fabric 170 GSM 150cm Width – 65% Lyocell 35% Nylon Plain Weave for Shirts, Coats and Trousers

Item 6017 is a woven lyocell-nylon blend — 65% lyocell / 35% nylon — in a plain weave carrying a waxed, crinkle micro-wrinkle finish, at 170 GSM and 150 cm wide in solid dyed shades. The lyocell leads the softness and drape, while the nylon adds a crisp, elastic bounce and durability that a pure cellulose cannot match — the two together give a cloth that is soft against the skin yet structured and resilient off the body.

The waxed crinkle finish is the signature. A special finishing route raises a fine, micro-wrinkle texture across the surface that reads premium and characterful rather than flat — the kind of subtle, two-tone depth that lifts a solid dye. At 170 GSM it is a light, versatile weight, and the nylon content means it resists pilling, holds its shape and springs back after wear — a genuinely easy-care cloth that keeps its look.

Four properties decide how this cloth behaves in wear. The lyocell leads the softness and drape, the nylon adds bounce and durability, the crinkle finish defines the surface, and the 170 GSM weight keeps it light and fluid across the seasons.

Where this weight sits. At 170 GSM the cloth is light enough to drape a shirt, a blouse or a pleated skirt, yet the nylon gives it the resilience to hold a clean line in a trouser or a light coat. The honest trade-off is that the nylon, while it adds bounce and easy care, means the cloth reads slightly less “natural” than a pure cellulose — a deliberate choice for a performance-leaning, easy-wear hand.

This is 65% lyocell and 35% nylon, and each fibre earns its place. The lyocell brings the silky, fluid drape and cool, absorbent comfort of a regenerated cellulose, so the cloth falls with an easy, liquid line. The nylon adds a crisp, elastic bounce and durability, so the cloth springs back rather than sagging. The result is a fabric that drapes soft yet holds a clean, structured line — the kind of hand a contemporary garment needs.

The crinkle finish is the point of difference from a plain solid dye. A special finishing route raises a fine, micro-wrinkle texture across the surface that reads premium and characterful — a subtle two-tone depth that lifts the cloth above a flat color. The hand is soft and bouncy, the surface has a quiet, tactile interest, and the whole cloth carries an easy, considered feel.

The nylon content is what makes this cloth hold its shape. Unlike a pure cellulose that can stretch and sag, the nylon gives the fabric a crisp, elastic bounce that springs back after wear — it keeps its form through a long day and after repeated washing. It is soft against the skin and structured off the body, the exact balance an easy-care garment needs.

The nylon and the plain weave work together to keep the cloth durable and neat. The surface resists pilling, the fibres resist abrasion, and the cloth holds its color and shape through repeated washing. The result is a fabric that looks better after a few wears, not worse — comfort and durability built in, not waiting to happen.

At 170 GSM and 150 cm this is a versatile light weight. The lyocell drape carries shirts, blouses, dresses and pleated skirts, while the nylon bounce gives enough body for a trouser, a light coat or a relaxed suit. It also works for outdoor and sun-protective sportswear where easy care and shape retention matter.

This is the core use. The soft, fluid lyocell drape means a relaxed shirt, a blouse or a bias-cut dress falls rather than clings, and the crinkle finish gives the surface a quiet, two-tone depth. The cloth reads cool and considered through a full day rather than sagging by evening.

Off the body the same construction works as a trouser, a light coat or a relaxed suit. The nylon bounce means the cloth holds a clean line and springs back after wear, and the easy-care finish suits outdoor and sun-protective sportswear. It is versatile enough to move from casual into tailored and performance-leaning styles.

The color range runs from naturals and whites through warm camels, khakis, olives, greys, blues and deep wine tones — 32 stocked shades held for immediate dispatch. Custom solid dyeing to Pantone TCX is available for development orders, and because the cloth is lyocell-led it takes dye cleanly and evenly — one of the reasons this construction is used for color-critical work.

Hand samples and cutting samples are supplied before bulk production, either from stock greige or from a lab dip matched to your shade. For this construction we recommend sampling the finished cloth rather than the yarn alone: at 65% lyocell / 35% nylon the crinkle hand, the bounce and the finish are all decided by the fibre and its finishing, and cannot be judged from a fibre sample.

Development runs around three points: the shade matched to Pantone TCX, the weight confirmed against the end use, and the finish route confirmed with the mill. The waxed crinkle finish is a defining feature here, and we test shrinkage, pilling and crease behaviour on a finished sample before bulk. Full-width greige and finished samples, small trial orders and custom development are supported for new customers.
