Why is it feminine?

Gabardina is feminine because it ends in "-a", which is the standard feminine ending in Spanish. The word derives from English "gabardine," which was adapted into Spanish. While the "-ina" suffix does appear in the word, it is not functioning as a diminutive here; rather, the entire word was adapted with the feminine "-a" ending (or "-ina" as a feminine variant of the English term). Spanish textile and garment names typically follow the pattern of taking feminine gender, and "gabardina" follows this standard pattern for fabric/clothing vocabulary in Spanish.
