Core Weaves
Poplin
A plain weave with fine, tightly packed threads.
Smooth, crisp, lightweight, and breathable.
Often used for dress shirts and blouses.
Twill
Characterized by diagonal ribs/lines (from the weft passing over 2+ warp threads).
Softer drape than poplin, durable, slightly heavier, more wrinkle-resistant.
Common for chinos, denim, and structured shirts.
Oxford
A variation of plain weave, but with thicker yarns, creating a slightly textured basket look.
Durable, somewhat casual, and breathable.
Often used for Oxford shirts (button-downs).
Satin
Smooth, glossy face and dull back due to long floats in the weave.
Lustrous, drapey, and more formal.
Used in evening wear, linings, and elegant shirts.
Jacquard
Woven with complex patterns using a Jacquard loom (not printed).
Patterns can be intricate (florals, geometrics).
Typically heavier and used for more decorative or luxurious garments.
Dobby
Woven with a dobby loom that allows small geometric patterns (dots, diamonds, stripes).
Adds subtle texture compared to plain poplin or twill.
Versatile—used for shirts, dresses, and suiting.
