Fabric Description

A luxurious Italian twill that does the environment some good.

This 30s single-ply twill is woven from a combination of 60% recycled cotton and 40% virgin cotton. The recycled cotton comes from a variety of leftover fabrics collected from Albiate’s production line, with the virgin cotton included in the blend to provide extra strength. The result is a wonderfully textured, slubby twill with a comfortable three-season medium weight. It’s a beautiful, sustainable alternative to other casual fabrics like chambrays and plain weaves. This lovely combination of light grey and bone stripes is sprinkled with neutral brown and grey flecks which add even more depth and interest to the variations in the stripes. Wear it with jeans and sneakers, or tuck it into wool trousers for an easy tailored look.

Recommended Styling: We like this fabric with soft details. Pay homage to its Italian origins with a Soft Roma Cutaway collar and no placket, or go with a workwear vibe with a Soft Point collar, Soft Front placket, and Rounded Flap pockets.

  • Terrific.

    November 2022  ·  Joseph in Montclair, NJ

  • For being a coarse fabric there is no stiffness or scratch almost like a light cotton flannel in the best way

    November 2022  ·  Greyson in Selma, AL

  • My go-to tailor.

    November 2022  ·  Reynolds in Florence, SC

  • Like that it has recycled content

    November 2022  ·  Andrew in Toronto, Ontario

  • In the waining days of summer, I had this made in short sleeve, it was perfect. The grey has a shade of blue to it. It was very comfortable.

    October 2022  ·  Jay in BOISE, ID

  • A bit rougher than expected, but in a work-shirt sort of way - not uncomfortable. Would definitely recommend.

    October 2022  ·  Jay in Milton, MA

  • A qualified recommendation. The fabric is soft and comfortable even on hot days. Softness increases with each washing. Your skin tone matters with this one since the off white drains color from your face. Love it for comfort. Not so much for my choice where color is concerned.

    September 2022  ·  Dennis in Williamsburg, VA

  • Great pattern, variegated colors, and texture. It's a tiny bit scratchy, but still comfortable to wear as a short sleeve shirt on a warm day.

    September 2022  ·  Zach in New York, NY

  • Fabric is really soft, feels great, and looks great. Lightweight but can be dressed up or down.

    September 2022  ·  Jason in Castle Rock, CO

  • Much softer than expected!

    August 2022  ·  Joshua in Tijeras, NM

  • This fabric is really soft and light, and is also versatile. You can wear it dressed up with a suit jacket or dressed down with jeans.

    August 2022  ·  John in CHARLOTTE, NC

    May 2022  ·  William in MINNEAPOLIS, MN

  • Perfect for the summer

    May 2022  ·  Neil in Twickenham,

  • Nice light fabric but very slightly rough feel. Not enough to be uncomfortable, though. Love the variegated texture.

    May 2022  ·  Pete in South Salt Lake, UT

  • Very soft but has a "raw" look to it. I like it.

    April 2022  ·  Anders in Linkoping,

  • I like the feel of this fabric.

    April 2022  ·  Scott in San Diego, CA

  • The colors are unique and the fabric will easily dress up or down. Eager to wear the shirt with my grey jeans.

    April 2022  ·  Henry in Scottsdale, AZ

  • No stretch at all. Order a size larger than you'd think so you have room to move.

    March 2022  ·  Sam in Batesville, IN

  • This is my favorite fabric I’ve bought from Proper Cloth. I love the variation in color and texture due to the recycled nature of the cotton. It’s mid weight and very versatile.

    February 2022  ·  Warren in MINNEAPOLIS, MN

  • It's very summery, in a good way.

    January 2022  ·  Andrew in Sewanee, TN

    November 2021  ·  Colin in Roswell, GA

    November 2021  ·  william in Katonah, NY

  • Sturdy fabric- great look!

    November 2021  ·  Peter in High Falls, NY

  • A little too much of a recycled look but I like it fine. A little scratchy

    November 2021  ·  Benjamin in New York, NY

  • Stunning look

    November 2021  ·  Jack in WASHINGTON, DC

  • Great fabric. Great shirt

    November 2021  ·  Lawrence in Bozeman, MT

  • Love the texture and color of the fabric, and that they've used recycled cotton. The fabric is a bit thinner than I expected, so don't expect the collar to stand by itself with most styles. Still, great fabric for more casual shirt.

    October 2021  ·  Sander in Leiden,

  • Surprisingly soft and very comfortable to wear more so than most standard cottons I’ve ordered before.

    September 2021  ·  Steven in Wellington,

  • Really light fabric great for warmer weather

    September 2021  ·  Paul in CHICAGO, IL

  • It's a very nice fabric that will be great in summer months.

    September 2021  ·  Adam in Baldwin, MD

  • Love it. Too bad no other colors are available.

    September 2021  ·  Vernon in HONOLULU, HI
