Anthrazit 790 is a dark, cool grey with no blue undertone, easy to combine with many colours and forgiving when it comes to stains. The surface looks even and calm, without any pattern.
At 220 gsm this jersey sits in the medium-weight range: it drapes softly on the body without becoming see-through, and the 6% elastane content helps it keep its shape after repeated wear. The cotton gives a pleasantly soft feel against the skin.
When cutting, allow for the 5% residual shrinkage and pre-wash the fabric as noted in the care instructions. After that it can be washed and ironed as usual at 30°C; tumble drying is not intended.
The dark, neutral shade makes Anthrazit 790 a solid wardrobe basic that won't wear out visually or go out of style quickly.
