Offer the fabric in this beautiful box specially designed to hold a shirt cut and the opportunity to come to the workshop so that the recipient and the Master can make the magic of the best Christmas gift. Infallible!
If you can’t come to the atelier, ask us for the App with all the fabrics available, send us the wishlist and we’ll contact you with the details.
Ordering fabrics through the app can seem complicated, given the number of fabrics available and the fact that they come in various patterns and colours. But the app is very user-friendly and intuitive when searching by various criteria for the fabric, colour or pattern you want. You can configure the climate you live in, the type of beard you wear or don’t wear, your style of dress, ending up with the obvious pattern and colour.
What may be lacking in information is actually the quality/price ratio, and that’s where we’re going to help.
We know that the Oxford is an assemblage of warp on the loom, i.e. it has a typical appearance and texture, which is why it has a character and a name. The different interlacing of the threads on the loom give different textures and result in the Oxford, the Twill, the Poplin, the Zephir, the Royalone, etc. Some are used more for classic shirts, others for casual shirts, and there are even jerseys, which are a knitted assembly (another article on the blog with more information).
Each sample has useful information such as the reference, type, yarn composition and washing instructions, but one of the most important is the weight per linear metre. It gives us the closest impression of the thickness of the fabric and its performance.
Very important in this binomial is the wire, its thickness and the type that is referred to, for example: 100/2 or 140/2 or 80/1.
The left of the bar refers to the fineness of the cotton fibre, which allows for a yarn capable of weaving 100 threads per inch. To the left of the bar is the number of threads that go into the loom which, if it says 2, means that two threads have been twisted for greater strength and softness in the final fabric. The higher the number on the left and the one on the right, the finer and rarer the fabric, the more luxurious and obviously more expensive.
Most quality fabrics available on the market, for example poplin, come in 100 or 120/2. If what you find seems “cheap” to you, it’s because it’s cotton with single threads, not twisted and of inferior quality.
