Twill is a beautiful fabric. It is detailed and elaborate and comes in a variety of patterns and styles. Depending on the color of the threads used and the weave variation, it can produce a diagonal or herringbone texture. Twill fabrics are often more substantial (thicker) and less transparent than a broadcloth of similar quality. \u00a0Twill fabrics will also usually be a bit more shiny, and drape in a way that is softer than broadcloth or pinpoint.<\/p>\n

\"Twill<\/p>\n

Within the twill fabric family, you can find a variety, including:<\/p>\n

Fine Twills<\/h3>\n

Your standard, subtle dress shirt twill. Woven tightly, the diagonal texture will only be apparent on close inspection. A simple, solid color twill dress shirt is extremely dressy and fit for any formal occasion.<\/p>\n

Imperial and\u00a0Cavalry Twills<\/h3>\n

These are the thickest twills, and they will have a very bold, noticeable texture to them.<\/p>\n

Royal Twills<\/h3>\n

These have less diagonal texture than the Imperial or Cavalry Twills, but their texture will still be noticeable from a close distance. \u00a0We typically reserve this name for very high thread count twills (120s) that are of only the best quality.<\/p>\n

Denim<\/h3>\n

Believe it or not, denim is also a type of twill. \u00a0Look closely at your jeans and you will see the fine diagonal texture.<\/p>\n

Twill Fabric Weave Pattern<\/h2>\n

By varying the weave slightly, significantly different patterns can emerge. Here are two similar weaves that produce a diagonal texture:
\n\"Twill
\n\"Twill<\/p>\n

A herringbone variation here:
