Twill is a weave in which the warp and weft interlace in an offset manner, so that fine diagonal lines appear across the surface of the cloth. Denser and more supple than a plain weave, it drapes well and creases little. It is also hard-wearing, which is why it has always been the fabric of workwear. This particular twill is woven in a pure cotton yarn and lightly brushed: a finishing treatment that raises the shortest fibres on the surface without ever blurring the definition of the diagonal. It gives the fabric a dry, faintly downy hand. This unexpected softness brings a certain sophistication to workwear silhouettes.

The cotton is grown in the United States and in Turkey, where the fabric is woven: a country with a high level of expertise in cotton weaving. The fabric itself is developed by an Italian textile house born in Tuscany at the beginning of the last century. Its expertise is felt in the balance of this twill: substantial enough to hold a shape, soft enough to be worn from the first day.
