Shirt fabrics & weaves for shirts
PoplinPoplin is one of the most commonly used shirt fabrics. This plain-weave fabric is made from a very dense warp of relatively fine yarn and a fuller weft yarn. A shirt material that is both breathable and durable. |
ChambrayA white warp with a colored weft creates this fine faux-solid fabric. Its refined character goes well with any suit. |
Fil-à-FilThis popular shirt fabric is created by combining different colors in the warp and weft. A genuine alternative to solid poplin. |
OxfordMade from dyed warp yarn and white weft yarn, this weaving classic is soft yet durable, and comes in both finer and more rustic versions. It is generally combined with a button-down collar for a sporty outfit. |
HerringboneHerringbone is a close relative of twill. The zigzag pattern is created by changing the direction of the diagonal structure at regular intervals. |
FaconnéFabric with a fine pattern. Particularly suitable for elegant evening shirts / tuxedo shirts. |
TwillThe typical diagonal structure is created by the weft yarn, which alternately passes under one warp yarn and over 2 additional warp yarns. The slightly lustrous appearance of this shirt fabric gives solid shirts an interesting accent. |
Full twist / Two PlyA particularly high-quality fabric in which both the warp yarns and the weft yarns are twisted. Full-twist fabrics are characterized by high durability and very comfortable wearing properties. Even without finishing, they are less prone to wrinkling than normal fabrics. |
