100% Silk Crepe fabric, a 3-ply weight (36 mm), Charcoal Gray. Matte.
3-ply silk crepe, technically speaking is a 4-ply silk crepe that has a tad less heft (hence 36 mm, not 40 mm).
The case for for heavier grade silk crepe is obvious for formal wear. It takes time to persuade people to use it semi formal to casual wear – so let’s make some points.
It does take a bit more care than a blend, true. Its breathable, temperature regulating and comfortable on the skin – that means it will keep you cool in the summer, warmer in the winter. Its universal in occasion – formal to casual wear all around. Its elegant (of course) and the durability is there.
You can make the simple of simple and you’ll look elevated.
