The best fabrics for your outfit
COTTON
Cotton is the oldest textile fiber, after flax and wool. The length of the fiber determines the quality, the longer the fiber the more lustrous, durable, valuable and fine the cotton. Cottons are classified according to the count (ratio of weight divided by length), the higher the count the finer and more valuable the fabric. “Double twisted” refers to a processing technique by which the two cotton threads are twisted together.
This operation makes the fabric stronger giving it a higher quality. The cotton fiber is not electrostatic, does not felt, has very high hygroscopicity leaving the skin breathable, not irritating it and without causing allergies.
cashmere
Fiber obtained from the wool of goats, native to northern India. They are raised in areas of Tibet, China and Mongolia.
Cashmere is soft, silky and velvety, giving a warm and soft feel.

POPlIN

Royal oxford fabric originated in England at the end of the xixth century and is the ” royal ” version of classic oxford, i.e., a more shaved fabric than regular oxford that is distinguished by its particular softness and luster but above all by its exceptional texture.
Zephir

This allows for balanced squares in which warp and weft have the same weight. The designation “zephir” should be given to a fabric as light and delicate as a puff; the name is derived from zephyr.
Twill pied de poul
French locution meaning “chicken’s foot.” Generally two-tone micro-design is made by alternating four light and four dark threads in the warp and weft.

Cottons are classified according to the title (ratio of weight divided by length), the higher the count, the finer and more valuable the fabric. By “double twisted” we mean a manufacturing technique with which the cotton threads are twisted together in two. This operation makes the fabric more resistant giving it a higher quality. The cotton fiber is not electrostatic, does not felts, has very high hygroscopicity, allowing the skin to transpire, not irritating it and without causing allergies.
