Cotton poplin is the classic fabric for traditional shirting. Poplin being a plain weave, its character comes not from the pattern itself, but from the yarn and the density.

Our classic cotton poplin is woven from fine yarns twisted in pairs before weaving. The result is a fabric that is both fine and dense. Its firmness allows for the structure that is necessary in shirting, especially for details such as collars and cuffs.

The cotton itself is a precious Egyptian cotton, with a rare extra-long staple. That long and fine fibre allows for a cloth that is smooth and lustrous. This exceptional fabric, dense with a silky touch, was developed by an English house founded in 1796, and is woven today in Italy, near Bergamo.
