The Story Behind This Fabric
Designed Around Modern Tailoring
VHemisphere Lycra Derby is a stretch suiting fabric created for the modern professional and style-conscious wearer. Its Fine Blend construction combines with Lycra stretch and a Soft Premium Finish to give the fabric a refined tailoring character.
Stretch That Supports Movement
The defining functional feature is its 2-way Contour Stretch. This gives tailored garments greater freedom of movement while retaining the composed appearance expected from suiting fabric. The product is specifically presented around comfort, movement and a well-fitted silhouette.
Soft Finish, Structured Drape
The fabric is described with a Soft Premium Finish and a flawless, structured drape. Its soft hand feel is balanced by a tailoring-oriented structure, making it suitable when you want a suit, blazer or trouser to maintain a clean visual presence.
Four Distinct Colour Directions
The collection offers four colour directions: Sophisticated Deep Grey, Modern Light Grey/Silver Grey, Distinguished Moss Green/Olive and Timeless Tan/Beige. Each gives the same Lycra Derby fabric a different wardrobe personality, from corporate tailoring in Deep Grey to a more relaxed natural expression in Moss Green/Olive or Tan/Beige.
Made for Custom Tailoring
The supplied sizing guide positions the fabric for trousers, blazers / sport coats, 2-piece suits and 3-piece suits. The recommended fabric requirements are 1.2m to 1.3m for trousers, 2.0m to 2.25m for a blazer / sport coat, 3.0m to 3.25m for a 2-piece suit and 3.5m to 4.0m for a 3-piece suit.

STYLING GUIDE
How to style this fabric.
Thoughtful ways to turn this fabric into pieces that work for your wardrobe.
CORPORATE
White Shirt & Navy Tie
With Sophisticated Deep Grey, pair a crisp white shirt with a navy tie for a dependable business combination. Black leather shoes keep the overall look sharp and formal.
MODERN FORMAL
Pale Blue Contrast
A pale blue shirt adds a measured colour contrast to Deep Grey without competing with the fabric. Choose a dark tie and polished leather footwear when dressing for formal business settings.
EVENING
Darker Tones
For evening dressing, work with deeper shirt and accessory tones to complement the depth of the charcoal-grey colour. Keep the accessories restrained so the tailoring remains the focus.
SEPARATES
Grey Jacket & Navy Trousers
Tailor the fabric as a blazer or sport coat and combine it with navy trousers. A white, pale blue or light grey shirt provides an easy bridge between the two colours.
THREE-PIECE
Keep the Accessories Refined
A 3-piece Lycra Derby suit already creates a strong tailored statement. Use a clean solid shirt, a controlled tie pattern and a simple pocket square to keep the outfit balanced.
SMART CASUAL
Tailored Trousers & Knitwear
For a more relaxed interpretation, wear tailored Lycra Derby trousers with a fine-gauge knit or understated polo in navy, cream or another complementary neutral. Loafers complete the look without making it overly formal.
