{"product_id":"gp-and-j-baker-balfour-chevron","title":"GP \u0026 J Baker | Balfour Chevron","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalfour Chevron is the most tailored cloth in this part of the collection, a wool-led herringbone with a 7 centimetre chevron running across the width and almost no vertical repeat. At 41 per cent wool it has the handle you would expect from a suiting: firm, warm, slightly springy, with a matt face that takes light evenly. The chevron is broad enough to see clearly and quiet enough to use on a big piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full blend is 41 per cent wool, 24 per cent cotton, 21 per cent viscose, 9 per cent linen and 5 per cent polyester, woven 137 centimetres wide and tested to 35,000 rubs, which is a solid domestic upholstery figure and covers curtains and bedspreads as well. Oatmeal is the colourway, the pale and dark yarns reading together as a warm neutral with a faint fleck of brown in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would use this on a club chair or a chesterfield, on a long hall bench, or on dining chairs that need to look like furniture rather than seating. It takes a leather or a dark wood frame well, and it is one of the few cloths here that looks right with tweed cushions and a wool rug. In a study it makes an honest pair of curtains. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the chevron out before you cut: on a sofa it should run straight across the inside back and the seat, centred on the piece rather than on the cloth. A three-seat sofa takes around 17 metres with matching. Wool blends benefit from a little humidity when they are worked, so let the cloth relax in the workroom overnight; do not press the chevron flat, or the fleck will shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41% wool, 24% cotton, 21% viscose, 9% linen, 5% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 137 cm (54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 cm vertical, 7 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbrasion resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35,000 rubs (Martindale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry clean only; do not wash, bleach or iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Essential Colour III, GP \u0026amp; J Baker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Oatmeal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GP \u0026 J Baker","offers":[{"title":"Oatmeal","offer_id":58050928804222,"sku":"BF11192.230","price":79.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Oatmeal","offer_id":58050928836990,"sku":"SAMPLE-BF11192.230","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/BF11192_230.png?v=1789682452","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/gp-and-j-baker-balfour-chevron","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
