Cotton / Twill
Cotton Twill
Cotton twill is the workhorse of bottom-weight apparel. The diagonal weave (called a 'wale') gives the fabric more yarn per square inch than a plain weave, which translates to better abrasion resistance, better drape, and better recovery from creasing. At 200-280 gsm it's heavy enough to hold the structure of pants and jackets but light enough to wear year-round. The smooth diagonal surface also takes embroidery and screen print exceptionally well.

FAQ
Common questions about cotton twill.
What's the difference between twill and denim?
Denim is a specific type of twill — usually 3/1 with indigo warp and white weft. Twill is the broader category. Our twill comes in solid colors and patterns; denim is yarn-dyed blue/black.
Is your twill pre-shrunk?
Yes, sanforized to ≤3% residual shrinkage. Garments hold size after standard home washing.
Can you do flame-resistant twill?
Yes — we supply FR-treated cotton twill (NFPA 2112) and FR-treated poly-cotton blends for industrial workwear programs.
