Canton jacket fabric inspiration

Rev up your wardrobe with the Canton Moto Jacket! The newest pattern to join the Cashmerette lineup, the Canton is designed for curves with sizes 0-32 and cup sizes C-H, princess seams, back fisheye darts, and two-piece sleeves with a full bicep option—and of course, the classic biker-style details that make this a timeless piece for your wardrobe.

The Canton is designed for mid- to heavy-weight woven fabrics such as boiled wool, boucle, jacquard, denim, vinyl, or leather. Low-stretch woven fabrics will also work. For the lining, you’ll want to use a lightweight woven fabric such as rayon Bemberg or crepe de chine.

Sophisticated solids and neutrals

Make a splash with faux leather

Give your Canton an edge with faux leather and you don’t even have to stick with black. Try a navy, white or wine hue and you’ll be turning heads.

Elevated prints

No need to stick to solids when it comes to your Canton. Add a bit of flair with a pattern! From a herringbone to a windowpane, you can elevate your moto jacket and showcase your personality.

Charming florals

A fun floral print could offer a beautiful and interesting juxtaposition to your moto jacket. Choose a feminine tweed coating or a floral jacquard for a stunning and surprising take on the Canton.

Take it up a notch with texture

Texture can go a long way when it comes to creating a one-of-a-kind statement piece. Why not try a tweed, faux fur, or basketweave? Add a pop of pizzazz to your wardrobe with a fun texture especially when combined with a pop of color.

Get creative with lining

Playing with lining is a wonderful way to add subtle visual interest. Try a trendy stripe or polka dot and give them a glimpse of something a little less ordinary.
