Fabric type
Shirting for Uniforms
Lighter, finer cloths woven specifically for uniform shirts and blouses.
Shirting is woven lighter and finer than suiting, spun from higher yarn counts so the cloth stays soft, breathable and comfortable against the skin through a full working day. Where suiting is built for structure and drape, shirting is built for the shirt: a smooth face that presses crisp, sits well under a collar and keeps its shape wash after wash.
Our shirtings run from an ultra-light micro-spun quality to fine poly-viscose weaves in both narrow and full widths, so a program can standardise on one hand across shirts, blouses and layering pieces.
