Style 4048 (Spanish Olive Seconds, Storm Cloud Seconds):
58" wide
4.5 oz/sqyd | 153 gsm
4-way stretch: about 25% side-to-side 20% lengthwise
**NOTE:
Spanish Olive Seconds: Roll is marked as a second and the only issue we have noticed is the face is a little mottled with small spots that appear a little thinner, but some of this may also be the overall design as the back of this style of Alpha Direct is black and non-furry. As mentioned, the back side is not at all fluffy and therefore, if using this style as a stand alone garment, the wrong side may not feel as comfortable as other styles of Alpha Direct against one's skin. If used as intended for lining a jacket, this style will be great as the fluffy right side will be against one's skin and the wrong side hidden in the interior of the jacket.
Storm Cloud Seconds: As with Spanish Olive above, the roll is marked as a second and the only issue we have noticed is the face is a little mottled with small spots that appear a little thinner, but some of this may also be the overall design as the back of this style of Alpha Direct is black and non-furry. As mentioned, the back side is not at all fluffy and therefore, if using this style as a stand alone garment, the wrong side may not feel as comfortable as other styles of Alpha Direct against one's skin. If used as intended for lining a jacket, this style will be great as the fluffy right side will be against one's skin and the wrong side hidden in the interior of the jacket.
