Fabric Description

A unique heavy twill fabric with rustic texture and softness.

We worked with a small Japanese mill that specializes in these types of fabrics to create this low twist twill and its beautifully varied navy coloring. In general, the number of twists per inch of a yarn determines how fine the fabric is—the higher the number of twists, the finer the fabric. Low twist fabrics are woven with yarns that have fewer twists per inch and are therefore looser and less refined in structure. This fabric has a 20s 3-ply construction that helps to tighten the weave and adds weight for warmth and durability. This mottled navy features numerous shades of blue and a hint of teal woven in a twill structure that adds even more texture and variation to the specially made yarns. It makes for a unique yet wearable shirt that will add thoughtful interest to your cold-weather looks.

Recommended Styling: Soft details are the way to go. Try our Soft President Spread collar, Soft Front placket, and Safari pockets for a rugged, functional casual look. We love Snaps with this fabric, too.

  • Nice, it seems to be long lasting fabric..

    3 weeks ago  ·  Aurian in Evenos, ID

  • Very heavy weight. Interesting colors.

    last month  ·  William in Colorado Springs, CO

  • Very heavy and comfortable, the ideal winter shirt.

    last month  ·  Bernhard in Grass Valley, CA

  • Fabric is thick and warm as I had hoped while still having a nice drape and comfortable feel. My only concern is the color was a bit muted. The description noted flecks of teal and I had hoped for a more vibrant navy. Instead, it’s more of a washed navy. It still looks great though.

    last month  ·  Jason in Delft,

  • Nice hefty material. Looks less 'spotty' in person than in the pictures, which is what I was hoping. Great winter shirt.

    January 2025  ·  Dan in Devon, PA

  • I find this fabric subtle and beautiful while also soft and especially warm against the winter cold.

    January 2025  ·  Acey in Caplong, Gironde

  • Very nice

    December 2024  ·  Mathias in Copenhagen, Hovedstaden

  • Its great - wrinkles more than I expected it to but that may be just a natural property of the fabric versus a defect

    December 2024  ·  Luka in Toronto, ON

  • Love this fabric. Perfect weight for California fall. Kind of wish it were more wrinkle resistant but that would probably change the hand of the fabric.

    December 2024  ·  Jay in Culver City, CA

  • Well design

    December 2024  ·  Andrey in Taipei,

  • Amazingly soft, visually interesting, and my new favorite for shirt winter. It broke in just beautifully. After a couple of washes, it really looks great and feels pretty great as well. Magic flannel.

    December 2024  ·  Christopher in ARLINGTON, VA

  • Beautiful fabric. Extremely warm.

    November 2024  ·  George in Mobile, AL

  • Great value

    November 2024  ·  Michael in LEXINGTON, KY

  • wasn't for me. but a nice looking and feeling fabric, very winter-y.

    October 2024  ·  Stefan in Vienna, Vienna

  • This is the thickest fabric shirt I have come across at Proper Cloth. It is very comfortable and if you are fan of a heavier weight shirt for the cooler days, this is an excellent option.

    October 2024  ·  Brit in Laguna Niguel, CA

  • Thick fabric with an interesting texture.

    October 2024  ·  Tillman in Nanaimo, BC

  • Very heavy weight cloth. Definitely more for an over shirt. Super soft and cuddly.

    October 2024  ·  Courtney in SAMMAMISH, WA

  • Great shirt, and fit is as good as always.

    October 2024  ·  Ed in St. Andrews,

  • Perfection

    August 2024  ·  William in Lafayette, CO

  • Thick, warm, rugged - a perfect shirt for colder climates but with a style that makes it a great option for a night out.

    April 2024  ·  Lee in Plymouth, WI

  • Wonderful fabric - great texture and heft. Thick, but not too warm and can be worn during spring, fall, and winter. Fabric has a nice blend between blues and blacks.

    April 2024  ·  Eric in Chicago, IL

  • great shirt

    March 2024  ·  michael in New York, NY

  • A great winter shirt! The navy color looks fantastic.

    March 2024  ·  Morgan in Toronto, Ontario

  • This is a nice winter fabric. Another good weekend shirt

    March 2024  ·  Christopher in Reno, NV

  • I love the thick texture, it works well during the winter months

    March 2024  ·  Ken in BROOKLYN, NY

  • There seemed to be a bit extra shrinkage in the neck, but I never button the collar so wasn't an issue for me. The shirt fit well otherwise. The fabric is soft, thick and warm. Perfect addition to the winter wardrobe.

    February 2024  ·  Kai in MINNEAPOLIS, MN

  • Nice warm flannel feel, very soft. The shade is great - rich in color yet dark and subtle with lots of variation in close up detail.

    February 2024  ·  Steven in Southampton, Hampshire

  • The heavy weight fabric is wonderful. The color in the pictures perfectly matched the actual fabric. I feels like something i would have for a long time.

    January 2024  ·  Synica in Royal Oak, MI

  • Soft and comfortable, like a blanket!

    January 2024  ·  Andrew in New York, NY

  • I love them.

    December 2023  ·  Mark in Azilda, ON

  • I would stick with the recommended collar. I love the fabric but tried to run with the smaller, preppier Colorado button down and the cloth is a bit much for such I tight collar. Still, this is one of my favorite shirts.

    December 2023  ·  Daniel in DULUTH, MN

  • Super heavyweight flannel shirt or overshirt fabric. Nice and warm, nice and soft and a great color to boot. Highly recommended from here in Canada.

    December 2023  ·  Nicholas in Edmonton, AB

  • Fabric is so soft and comfy. Nice heavy twill for colder days.

    November 2023  ·  Dan in LAS VEGAS, NV

  • Very nice heavy fabric! Great color. Looks good!

    November 2023  ·  Wayne in Saint Paul, MN

  • The fabric is a luxurious and heavyweight. Perfect for a casual winter shirt.

    November 2023  ·  Brian in Limerick,

  • Love the Low Twist Twill fabrics. Great for a relaxed flannel that still looks nice and professional in a work environment. Comfortable and cozy.

    October 2023  ·  David in Maple Bluff, WI

  • love it!

    October 2023  ·  Hugo in LONGMONT, CO

  • It is thick, which is what I wanted. So thick that it doesn’t wrinkle. Thick enough that I’m not scared of ruining it when I’m working. For some reason, it is softer than the charcoal variant, which is nice. The navy is very subtle: take the charcoal and replace on fourth of the threads with blue threads, and you’ll be close to what it looks like.

    July 2023  ·  Mathieu in Montreal, Quebec

  • I'm very impressed with the Japanese Low Twist fabric. It has a soft, almost sweater-like feel and is very warm. I will definitely be ordering more of these. Hopefully they get more colors in for next winter.

    April 2023  ·  Adam in DENVER, CO

  • Nice mid-heavy weight fabric with great texture and color. Comfy winter/fall shirt to be worn unbuttoned with tshirt under.

    March 2023  ·  Austin in Ottawa, ON

  • Great fabric! Can be used as shirt or over shirt

    February 2023  ·  Jonathan in Metz, -

  • This is my third shirt in this fabric. It is heavy. Perfect for cool days. The blue is a nice combination of colors that make for a warm pleasing color.

    February 2023  ·  Frederic in SANTA MONICA, CA

  • Rugged and unique pattern that's perfect for winter.

    January 2023  ·  Mark in MIAMI, FL

  • Heavyweight and durable, ordered mine as a shirt jacket and couldn't be happier. High quality fabric, highly recommend

    January 2023  ·  Joe in Hinsdale, IL

  • almost like a jacket

    January 2023  ·  Lawrence in Riverside, CT

  • Nice Lightweight fabric

    January 2023  ·  Dave in Arlington, MA

  • Great fabric for overshirts on cold days.

    January 2023  ·  Sheldon in Calgary, AB

  • It is the heaviest material that I have received from Proper Cloth and it is the perfect winter shirt. It is not quite as soft as the other flannels, but it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be very warm and heavy. The fabric colors are very unique. You can see the various thread hues up close. I was afraid they might be too spotty. But from a bit farther away they blend into a gorgeous navy. So the different colors aren't distracting at all. All in all, I absolutely love this shirt!

    December 2022  ·  Timothy in Helsinki,

  • Awesome

    December 2022  ·  Adam in Templestowe, VIC

  • great for fall
