The classic shirt fabric - smooth, lightweight and durable - poplin always look smart at work or play. Made from 100% Egyptian cotton, poplins are lustrous, silky fabrics that are cool and comfortable to wear and soften and feel even more comfortable each time they are laundered.
"Oxford" is a classic casual fabric, soft, relaxed and durable. Oxford is woven from a heavier yarn than is used in a poplin giving a soft yet strong fabric which is extremely hard wearing. Our Royal Oxford fabric is a two fold 100's fabric woven to an Oxford construction. Because we use a finer 100’s yarn in our Royal Oxfords, the result is a fabric which is beautifully silky, much softer and smoother than classic Oxford.
The fabric is made from two fold, 100% Egyptian cotton where the weft threads pass over one and under two threads to produce a diagonal rib which catches the light producing a subtle, attractive sheen to the fabric whilst making it soft to the touch. Herringbone Twill features a distinctive ‘fishbone’ pattern where the direction of the twill is alternated. Perfect for work or weekends - soft, luxurious, classic - it has it all.
Two Fold 170'S, Poplin & Twill. Made entirely from the very finest, Egyptian cotton (Giza 45 or "The queen of Egyptian cotton") these are the shirts for days when only the best will do. The cotton is grown using only organic fertilizers and then woven to an extremely high yarn count, producing shirts with a unique combination of great strength, silky lustre and incredible, unduplicated softness. You will know the difference as soon as you touch it!
Jermyn Street tailors have always measured shirt quality by its yarn count. Referring to the length of yarn needed to make 1lb in weight - the higher the yarn count, the finer the fabric. Our 200's are Pink's ultimate cotton shirts - the 200 count means a soft, silky feel to the fabric.
All the classic qualities of two-fold poplin but made with a high twist yarn. The results feel somewhat thicker and crisper with a slight sheen - ideal for more contemporary shirts.
Linen is a summer essential. Cool and absorbent, our linen shirts are naturally fluid and have a wonderful drape. Linen comes from the flax plant which is more complicated to process than cotton but we feel it's worth it. Strangely, linen is appreciated for its wrinkles!
