Overview

Plain, dobby and yarn-dyed weaves

Shirt fabrics spend more time against the skin than any other group, so hand feel, breathability and shape after washing matter as much as the pattern. We work across a wide range — from plain weaves to small-figured dobby structures and yarn-dyed checks and stripes.

Polyester, cotton and viscose blends combine the naturalness of cotton, the strength of polyester and the fluid drape of viscose in one fabric. The blend ratio is set together, according to what the shirt is for — office, uniform or a casual collection.

Highlights

  • 01

    Breathable structure

    Dense yet airy weaves keep you comfortable all day.

  • 02

    Lasting pattern

    In yarn-dyed checks and stripes the colour isn’t printed on — it’s in the yarn itself.

  • 03

    Easy care

    Blended qualities crease less and dry faster.

Materials

  1. 01

    Plain

    A clean plain-weave surface; a neat base for print and embroidery.

    Dobby

    Small geometric figures woven on a dobby loom; texture you notice up close.

  3. 03

    Yarn-dyed

    The yarn is dyed before weaving, so colours stay bright for longer.

  4. 04

    Plaid & striped

    Checks and stripes built from coloured yarns in warp and weft.

  5. 05

    A blend balancing strength, naturalness and a soft drape.
