Fabric type
Dobby Suiting for Uniforms
A subtle woven texture that reads quietly premium up close.
Dobby cloth is woven on a special loom attachment that builds small geometric patterns, fine stripes and textures directly into the fabric rather than printing them on. The detail is structural, so it never washes out, and it reads as quietly premium up close while staying understated from across a room.
We use dobby weaves to lift executive and front-office uniforms above a flat suiting, adding a considered detail that signals a more premium program without any loss of durability.
