TWILL

The wool twill is one of the most important weavings of the classic wardrobe, giving their structures to many fabrics: gabardine, tweed, cavalry twill or denim.

Technically, it is a matter of passing the weft wire over the chain wire while preserving a slight lag between the wires. Thus, this weaving allows the creation of elementary patterns, from diagonal stripes to rafters.

By the narrowness of the threads, the fabric becomes more thick and more resistant. This structure makes it possible to obtain durable and resilient fabrics with graphic falls. In addition, the relief of the fabric prevents marking.

This opens it up to a wide range of use, both wool and cotton. It lends itself to the cut of suits, trousers, coats, shirts or jeans.

The most commonly used serge is denim. Based on cotton, its chain thread is indigo and its frame thread is raw, making the material softer and easier to maintain.
