Here we provide the definitive overview of the different types of fabrics commonly used in dress shirts. \u00a0By understanding what the different weaves mean for a fabric you can be sure to find the ideal dress shirt fabric for your needs.<\/p>\n

Broadcloth<\/h2>\n

Broadcloth<\/a>\u2014often referred to as poplin\u2014is a tightly woven fabric with a very simple over-under weave and very little sheen, which makes it nice and professional. Broadcloths are great for guys looking for as little texture as possible in their fabrics. They are generally a thinner, lighter fabric. W<\/a>hite broadcloth fabrics<\/a> in particular can be slightly transparent. Broadcloths generally wear the smoothest out of all weaves thanks to their lack of texture, but can also be the most prone to wrinkling.

Twill<\/h2>\n

Twill fabrics are easily recognizable because they will show diagonal weave or texture. The diagonal effect can range from very fine, subtle twills to much larger Imperial or Cavalry twills. Twills will almost always have a bit of shine, though the degree can depend on the weave, color, and cotton used. Twill is a tight weave that can come in extremely high thread counts, some of which might be mistaken for silk. Because of the diagonal texture twill is a bit softer than broadcloth and will drape more easily. Twill won\u2019t give you the same \u201ccrisp\u201d look that freshly pressed broadcloth can, but it\u2019s relatively easy to iron and more resistant to wrinkles.

\"Twill<\/a>

Pinpoint Oxford<\/h2>\n

Pinpoint\u00a0(also referred to as\u00a0pinpoint oxford) has the same weave as oxford cloth, although it uses a finer yarn and tighter weave. It is more formal than oxford cloth, but less formal than broadcloth or twill. Think of them as great everyday work shirts, but not necessarily the first recommendation\u00a0for special events. Pinpoint fabrics are generally not transparent and are slightly heavier and thicker than broadcloths. Because of their heavier construction, pinpoints are fairly durable fabrics. Opt\u00a0for a twill or broadcloth if you\u2019re looking for a formal shirt.

Chambray<\/h2>\n

Chambray is a plain weave fabric. \u00a0That means it has a similar construction to broadcloth, though it is generally made with heavier yarns for a more relaxed or workwear appeal. Generally there will be white threads running in the weft\/width direction such that the fabric has an inconsistent color to it. \u00a0This could be compared to an end-on-end, though chambray is generally much heavier and more appropriate for casual wear than dress.<\/p>\n

Denim<\/h2>\n

We all know denim as the fabric of our jeans. \u00a0But construction wise, denim is a twill fabric. A sturdy, possibly coarser twill often dyed with indigo. \u00a0For the most part though, when it comes to denim shirting, you’re mostly going to find much softer, lighter versions of the fabric than what your jeans are made of. \u00a0Denim shirting can come in many forms but generally have a\u00a0different color on the inside than the outside.<\/p>\n

Dobby<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dobby (which is very similar to jacquard, although technically different) can vary widely. Some versions are quite similar to broadcloth in terms of thickness and weight, while others can be thicker or woven to almost look like twill. Many dobby fabrics have stripes woven into them, although some are solid colors. The solid colors tend to have a faint stripe or dotted patterns woven in the same color as the base cloth.<\/p>\n

End-on-End<\/span><\/h2>\n

End-on-end broadcloths are a very popular type of dress shirt fabric with a distinct contrast coloring. Woven with colored thread in the warp and white thread in the weft, it looks like a true solid from a distance, but has more visual texture when seen up close. Typically a lighter-weight fabric, it’s a great choice for those living in warmer climates.<\/p>\n

Flannel<\/h2>\n

A fall\/winter favorite. Flannels are warm, fuzzy fabrics that are most often brushed twill or brushed poplin fabrics. While they’re most regularly 100% cotton, they sometimes can come in blends of cotton and wool, and even cotton\/cashmere blends for added warmth. Usually made in thicker weaves, these are decidedly casual fabrics that are great for cold weather.<\/p>\n

Melange<\/h2>\n

Melange fabrics can come in every sort of weave\u2014poplin, twill, royal oxford, etc.\u2014and are woven using multi-colored yarns. Each yarn will be dyed this way, most often with 2-3 subtly different hues. \u00a0These unique yarns can help achieve a heathered, intentionally inconsistent, somewhat organic look. Melange fabrics are different from mouline fabrics, as mouline fabrics are made from consistent, one-color yarns that are twisted together to achieve a multi-color look.<\/p>\n

Oxford Cloth<\/h2>\n

Oxford cloth<\/a> is very similar to pinpoint oxford, except it uses a slightly heavier thread and looser weave. It has a slightly rougher texture but is more durable than most fabrics. It’s composed of a symmetrical basketweave where one yarn may cross two yarns. It was originally developed for sportswear, so it\u2019s the least dressy, and (in some circles) not considered appropriate for office or formal wear. Oxford cloth has always been a staple in traditional American button-down polo shirts. It can be worn slightly wrinkled straight from the dryer and still look great.<\/p>\n

Poplin<\/h2>\n

Poplin is so similar to broadcloth that we decided not to distinguish between the two in our fabric descriptions. \u00a0For all practical purposes you can equate the two. They are both a plain weave fabric that is going to be quite thin, smooth, and flat. That said, poplin is technically different from broadcloth in that poplin can have different weight yarns in the warp and weft while broadcloths will have a symmetrical construction. \u00a0For example, broadcloths could be 100\/2×100\/2 (meaning 100s two-ply in the warp and weft) while a poplin could be 100\/2×60\/1 (meaning 100s two-ply in the warp and 60s single-ply in the weft).<\/p>\n

Royal Oxford<\/h2>\n

Royal oxford<\/a> is what we call a \u201cpretty fabric.\u201d Although the name is similar, it is not at all similar to pinpoint oxford or oxford cloth. It is a dressy fabric with a distinctive shine and texture. With a more prominent weave than broadcloth or pinpoint, it\u2019s ideal for those interested in a dress or formal shirt with visible texture.

Herringbone<\/h2>\n

Herringbone shirts are popular, more textured shirts for both dress and casual wear. Herringbone is essentially a twill that is mirrored when woven to create the sort of chevron, “V-shaped” look. The fabric’s name comes from its resemblance to the bones of a herring fish.<\/p>\n

Seersucker<\/h2>\n

Seersucker is a fabric primarily used to make shirts for warm weather, and is known for its distinctive puckered appearance. This puckered look is created in the finishing of the fabric, after it’s woven, and helps to promote air flow when worn. This helps make seersucker very comfortable in the summer. While seersucker fabrics can come in any color or pattern, blue and white striped seersucker is most popular.<\/p>\n

Linen<\/h2>\n

Linen fabrics are incredibly breathable and, like seersucker, typically made to be worn in hot climates. Linen is made from the fiber of the flax plant, and can be very labor intensive to produce. Typically linen will be more loosely woven and sheer than most cotton fabrics, and has a very unique, dry hand to it that is unlike cotton. Linen also tends to wrinkle more easily than cotton and generally feels much more relaxed because of this. While we love the look and feel of linen, some people prefer cotton\/linen blend shirts as you can achieve much of the coolness of a linen shirt while reducing the wrinkling.<\/p>\n

Egyptian, Sea Island, and American Pima Cotton<\/h2>\n

When you hear about Egyptian, Sea Island, or American Pima cotton you should know that this is not referring to the type of weave, but to the type of cotton used to make the weave. For practical purposes, Pima cotton, Sea Island, and Egyptian cotton are all cottons derived from originally the same plant: Gossypium Barbadense. These are more desirable cottons because they are typically “extra-long staple length” cottons (length greater than 1 3\/8″), which allows them to be spun into finer, stronger yarns.<\/p>\n

All three of these cottons are typically regarded as high-end, luxury raw goods. Egyptian and American Pima will be the most readily available, while Sea Island cotton is well-known for being incredibly rare. American Pima will often be woven into fabrics of a slightly lower quality than Egyptian cotton as it is not as clean of a fiber, despite having similar staple lengths.<\/p>\n

There is also a famous, rare form of Egyptian cotton called “Giza 45” that is specially used for some of the world’s finest shirting fabrics\u2014notably Thomas Mason Goldline fabrics. This is a highly acclaimed form of cotton found in a particular portion of the Nile Delta that can be woven to produce incredibly fine yet strong yarns. Fabric made from Giza 45 cotton tends not to degrade over time as much as other Egyptian or American Pima cottons.<\/p>\n

Accounting for just .0004% of the cotton supply available, Sea Island cotton is the rarest in the world. What makes Sea Island Cotton so desirable is its unique combination of characteristics: extra-long staple length, remarkable fiber strength, incredibly uniform growth, and a significant brightness in color.<\/p>\n

While other high-end shirting cottons like Egyptian cotton and American Pima can boast extra-long staple length above 1 3\/8\u2033, it\u2019s Sea Island cotton\u2019s durability, consistency, vibrant color, and silky luster that make it different from these. The uniformity, strength, and \u201chairlessness\u201d of the fiber allows fabric woven from it to last an incredibly long time, and actually become smoother each time it’s laundered.<\/p>\n

The best Sea Island Cotton comes from Barbados because the incredibly uniform, humid climate of the island allows for the cotton plants to grow in a consistent way throughout the year. The cotton in Barbados is also picked by hand to ensure the highest quality levels.<\/p>\n

Making matters a bit confusing, there are trademarks filed around the names \u201cSea Island\u201d and \u201cSupima.\u201d Keep an eye out for \u201cCertified Sea Island Cotton\u201d vs. \u201cSea Island Quality,\u201d as only the former will be authentic and it\u2019s something we often see on the market.<\/p>\n

Thread Count<\/h2>\n

If everything else is the same (weave, ply, mill, and type of cotton), higher thread count means a smoother, silkier, more expensive fabric. Thread count is often referred to with a number like 50s, 80s, 100s, 120s, 140s, 170s, etc., up to 330s. \u00a0These numbers refer to the yarn size, but keep in mind that typically a thread count above 100 will imply a two-ply fabric.<\/p>\n

Though there are some exceptions when extremely fine single-ply yarns are used, these higher-number thread counts will be two yarns twisted together. For example, 120s thread count means that two 60s yarns are twisted together. Generally this fabric will be more durable than a 60s single-ply, but it won’t necessarily be smoother. 140s thread counts are typically two 70s yarns twisted together. And so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

While thread count<\/a> can be an indicator of quality, remember that ply, mill, and quality\u00a0of cotton will have just as much to do with how luxurious the fabric is.<\/p>\n

Two-Ply vs Single-Ply<\/h2>\n

Ply is how many yarns are twisted together to make a single thread. Shirting fabrics are most often two-ply or single ply. Two-ply<\/a> means that two yarns are twisted together to make a single thread that is then woven into the fabric. (Note that this is not at all like two-ply toilet paper!). Two-ply fabrics are generally superior to single-ply fabrics in their durability. Three-ply fabrics are rare, but can be found occasionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
