Olivgrün 764 is a calm, muted green that feels neither flashy nor plain. Against the skin the jersey feels pleasantly soft, while at 220 gsm it has enough body and stability to feel substantial without being heavy.
The fabric drapes softly and falls in gentle folds against the body without bagging out. Thanks to the 6 percent elastane content, it stretches in every direction, which is especially useful for close-fitting patterns.
The surface is smooth and even, with no pattern or texture, so the color can speak for itself. Olivgrün 764 pairs well with other shades and works equally well in kidswear and adult garments, staying understated and easy to wear every day.
