Shirting fabric is a kind of primarily cotton or cotton blend cloth used to make shirts. These fabrics should be breathable, durable, pleasant to the touch, and comfortable to wear all year round. That is why high thread count and yarn dyed structure are the essential features of shirting fabrics.
The popularity of shirts all around the globe has contributed greatly to the diversity of the fabrics they are made of: types of weave, fibre selection, design and pattern motifs. The variety of shirting fabrics is captivating. You can choose pure cotton, linen or man-made fibres, opt for finer or thicker options, go for vibrant or pastel shades, or try stripes, checks and florals. Shirting fabrics are used both for formal and casual wear.
According to the common belief, dress shirt fabrics are basically made of cotton. Why? Unlike many synthetics, cotton provides a plethora of valuable properties: this fibre is renowned for its softness, superb hygienic properties, and good moisture absorbency. However, in terms of fibre performance, its leadership is questionable — especially if compared with another fabric given to us by nature, which is linen. Cotton fabrics enjoy the highest popularity in the segment of formal shirts. At the same time, when it comes to casual style, linen appears to be a superior fibre by lots of important criteria.
First, linen has bactericidal properties which means it is not afraid of bacteria or fungus.
Second, linen garments are easier to care for. Unlike cotton, linen fibres get stronger and better cleanable with each washing. The best way to wash them is to select the gentle washing regime and lukewarm water temperature settings in your machine and use a mild detergent to make fibres less prone to damage. Linen fibre is twice as durable as cotton, and four times more durable than wool.
Third, linen is a 'greener' option. It requires much less water for growing, while its moisture absorbing capabilities are much higher compared to those of cotton, which means that you can wear linen garments for a longer time. Both points appear to be decent pros for all environmentally-conscious people.
As there is nothing ideal in this world, linen has a weakness too, which is its vulnerability to wrinkling. Apparently, that's one of the main reasons why linen is deemed to be a rather impractical match for a business suit. Another downside of linen is the thickness of its fibres: with the gain in durability, it gives way to cotton in terms of its hand feel, which is not that smooth.
All in all, both fabrics are breathable, hypoallergenic and have a good hand feel. Which one to choose then? It depends on your needs: for a business look, nothing can be compared with luxury long- and extra-long staple cotton fabrics of such precious sorts as Giza 45, Giza 87 and 88, Pima/Supima, and especially Sea Island. However, if a corporate dress code is not the limiting factor, a linen shirt is a way more promising option in many respects.
Shirt is a single item in everyone's wardrobe, but many people do not know what fabric is good for shirts. The common cotton shirt is skin-friendly and comfortable; Denim shirts don't wear out easily; Silk shirts wear texture; Oxford shirts don't wrinkle easily; Linen shirts are fresh and airy; Chiffon shirt drape smooth feeling is good, and flannel shirt has certain heat preservation sex, suit autumn and winter to wear.
