Our fabrics

This is the most commonly used weave; here the weft thread is always passed alternately over and under the warp thread. The fabric is thus very stable and somewhat stronger, but warms comparatively little. The weaving itself does not create a pattern due to the symmetry; this can only be achieved by using differently colored threads. 

The plain weave

In this weave, the weft thread is alternately under one and over two warp threads. You can recognize this type of weave by the diagonal weave lines, as the pattern is offset by one thread in each row. The fabric is warmer, softer and more durable than plain weave.

The body weave

In this fabric, the weft thread is alternately above one and below four warp threads, the pattern is offset by one thread in each row. This fabric is uniform and durable, the front side looks smoother and shinier compared to the back side, the fabric falls softly.

The atlas weave

This fabric is made in plain weave, in combination of a densely set warp thread (from relatively fine thread yarns) and a wider set, but therefore somewhat fuller weft thread. Shirts made of poplin are breathable, durable, high quality and comfortable to wear. In addition, they crease little. Our shirts Berlin, Oslo, Stockholm and Brussels are sewn from two different threads, this creates a shimmering effect, also called chambray effect. For the Berlin shirt the combination is dark blue-blue, for Stockholm black-dark gray, for Oslo blue-white and for Brussels light blue. The fabrics of the shirts have different grammage, the shirt Oslo is slightly thicker with a grammage of 155 gr/m² and therefore more suitable for colder days. The shirts Berlin, Stockholm and Brussels are slightly thinner, with a grammage of 110 gr / m², and thus wonderful to wear even in summer.

This fabric is woven in body weave. This uses a combination of different colors in warp threads and weft threads to create a very fine and elegant structure. The fabric is easy to iron and durable. Our London and Paris shirts are made of a full-twisted fil-à-fil fabric with two white threads. This creates a very subtle contrast that will make the shirt look very elegant – the shirt has a certain something that is immediately recognizable. The fabric we use has a grammage of 120 gr/m²; the shirt can be worn well all year round.

This fabric is woven in body weave; the characteristic feature of this fabric is the zigzag structure, reminiscent of a bone. Herringbone shirts look very elegant and are something special. Our shirt Zurich is made of a blue herringbone twill. The fabric feels soft and comfortable and has a very subtle and elegant shine. The fabric we use has a grammage of 155 gr/m², so you can wear the shirt well even on slightly colder days.

The characteristic feature of this fabric is the mixture between undyed and dyed cotton yarns woven in plain weave. The fabric is durable and falls somewhat less softly than, for example, poplin. Shirts made from oxford fabrics are thus somewhat less formal, but still look elegant. Our Vienna, Madrid, Lisbon, Prague and Athens shirts are woven from a great oxford fabric in a striped look. The blend of colors and the texture of the fabric makes the shirts look very casual. You can use them both a little less formal in the office and mainly as casual shirts. The Rome shirt, on the other hand, is also made of an oxford fabric, but is very elegant in design and designed for the office. The oxford fabrics we use have a grammage of 110 – 140 gr/m², which makes the shirts easy to wear all year round.

For our shirt Monaco we have chosen a very fine blend of cotton and linen, in the ratio 70/30. This makes the fabric summery-light and casual. Since the cotton portion predominates, the fabric also does not crease as pure linen fabrics have this in itself. The fabric we use has a grammage of 122 gr/m², so the shirt can be worn not only in summer, but all year round.
