This is a wonderful quality medium weight stretch linen/rayon in a wonderful micro-stripe in black and white called "sharkfin". The stripes run vertically on the face, horizontally on the opposite side. It's medium-light weight, malleable, soft with nice lineny drape and body, and stretch in the width only with great recovery. Use for jackets, suits, dresses, skirts, pants for any season. Very versatile!
