Braun 177 is a warm, rich earth tone without any reddish or grey undertones - a calm brown that pairs well with other shades from the Vanessa range. The surface is smooth and even, and the plain pattern lets the colour speak for itself.
On the hand, this jersey feels soft and pleasant against the skin, while staying medium-weight at 220 gsm - stable enough not to appear see-through. The 5 percent elastane content gives it a supple stretch in every direction without the fabric losing its shape over time.
In terms of drape, the jersey falls softly around the body while holding its form. It doesn't hang heavily but moves with you, making it comfortable to wear whether cut close-fitting or loose.
What Vanessa Braun is suitable for

Frequently asked questions
How much does the fabric stretch?
Thanks to the 5 percent elastane content, the jersey stretches in every direction. The crosswise stretch is stronger, which should be considered when cutting leggings.
Does the fabric shrink when washed?
Residual shrinkage is 5 percent. Pre-washing before cutting is recommended so the finished garment still fits well after its first wash.
Is this fabric suitable for baby clothing?
Yes, the jersey is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and tested for harmful substances. Combined with its soft feel, it works well for bodysuits and children's clothing.
Is there matching ribbing fabric in the same colour?
Yes, colour code 177 matches Swafing Heike (ribbing) and Swafing Maike (French terry), so shirts and cuffs can be combined without any colour difference.
