Navy check and grey twill fabric laid in folds

Fabric · Woven at Kolhapur

Shirting, by the metre.

Checks, stripes, structures and plains, woven on about 120 Toyota air-jet looms — around 1.2 million metres a month.

What we weave

Colour and pattern are in the yarn, not printed on.

Much of our shirting is yarn-dyed: the pattern is built from dyed warp and weft, so it goes all the way through the cloth. These are the families buyers ask us for most.

Checks
Yarn-dyed checks, from small ginghams to multi-colour.
Windowpanes
Open overchecks on plain and twill grounds.
Structures
Houndstooth, small dobbies and textured weaves.
Plaids
Larger checks for casual shirts and overshirts.

Rolled lengths of fabric in blues, greens and white

Fibres

Ask for the blend you need.

Tell us the fibre, the blend and the weight you need. We will tell you plainly whether it is a cloth we weave — and if it is, send you swatches.

The collection

55 shirtings, photographed.

Each with its composition, weight, width and weave — filter by any of them, or by colour. It is the photographed part of a register of 5,000+ designs, and it grows as we photograph more.
