To Twill or not to twill....that is the question!




In a twill weave fabric the weft and warp are offset to give a diagonal pattern on the fabric surface.

 The resulting fabric is tough and hard wearing yet soft and comfortable on the body.  It drapes well and as such is used for chino's, jackets, caps, work-wear  as well as curtains.




In a fancier version it can be woven into a herringbone weave  for use in suiting as shown below.

At Neo CCS it is our favourite fabric to be used on 100% cotton brushed or non-brushed cotton twill caps, chino's, aprons, even windbreakers  for upmarket promotional events!  A poly cotton version of the fabric is available for companies whose staff spend a lot of time outdoors e.g. security guards, to avoid excessive fading which may occur with ongoing exposure to ultra violet light that occurs with natural fibres like cotton.  Give us a call today so we can advise you on what is best for your needs.
