Fabric Properties

TECHNICAL TWILL FABRIC

A cotton and technical blend, combines the softness and breathability of natural cotton with the durability and wrinkle resistance of technical outdoor properties.This blend is a popular choice for a wide range of items like clothing, bedding, and workwear because it balances the best qualities of both fibers, resulting in a strong, comfortable, and easy-to-care-for fabric.

Key characteristics

  • Durability: The addition of Technical fabric makes the fabric stronger and more resistant to tears and wear compared to pure cotton. 
  • Comfort: It retains the softness and breathability of cotton, making it comfortable for everyday wear. 
  • Maintenance: Polycotton holds its shape, resists shrinking, and maintains color and shape better than 100% cotton. It also resists wrinkles and is easier to care for.

  Common blends

  • 65/35 (cotton/polyamide): This is a very common blend, often used for activewear and durable work clothes. 

Care Guide

Cold Machine Wash

  • TECHNICAL FABRIC (Polyamide) | Technical garments can be machine washed to a maximum of 30°C. We recommend a cold wash with a short spin, or drip dry. You can also gently hand wash your item; rinse thoroughly and then drip dry on the washing line.
  • COTTON POPLIN | Wash at 30°C using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • COTTON LINEN BLEND | Cold wash using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use as it is likely to shrink. Iron using the appropriate setting for cotton on your iron. Dry naturally or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • COTTON SINGLE KNIT JERSEY (T-SHIRTS) | Single jersey knit / brushed fleece can be hand washed or machine washed at 30°C. Hand washing is always the best and safest method for jersey. For machine washing, turn the item inside out and place it in a mesh washing bag. Lay the item flat in its natural shape on a drying rack, hang to dry, or tumble dry on a low setting.
  • 100% SILK AND SILK BLEND | Dry clean only is recommended, as silk has a tendency to shrink and become hard. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
  • SOFT SATIN | Cold wash or dry clean (recommended) using non-bio liquid, and wash the fabric before use. Iron using the appropriate setting for silk on your iron. Dry naturally. No tumble drying.
  • LEATHER | Can be polished with a neutral leather cream or wax to maintain the colour and prevent it from drying out.
  • WOOL AND WOOL BLEND | Cold wash only. Turn wool clothes inside out and wash on the delicate cycle (or the wool or hand wash cycle, if your washer has these settings). Use cold water and a mild liquid detergent, and add an extra rinse to the wash cycle. To avoid shrinking, don't put wool clothing in the dryer. No tumble drying and no warm water.
  • COTTON TWILL | For best care, we recommend a cold gentle machine wash with like colours at 40°C using a quality laundry liquid or powder. Wash inside out to protect the print. Do not soak, wring, rub, bleach or tumble dry. Dry flat or on a hanger. Warm iron on the reverse side.
