Fabric Weaves 101

At Deo Veritas, the weave of a fabric determines how it feels, drapes, and performs over time. Here are the core weaves you’ll encounter:

• Poplin

  • Smooth, lightweight, crisp finish.

  • Ideal for business wear or warm weather.

  • Wrinkles easily but irons cleanly.

• Twill

  • Subtle diagonal rib pattern.

  • Durable, drapes beautifully, resists wrinkles better than poplin.

  • Perfect for everyday office wear.

• Oxford

  • Basket weave, thicker yarn.

  • Textured, casual, breathable.

  • Best for button-downs and casual Friday shirts.

• Satin

  • Glossy sheen, very smooth.

  • Elegant, formal, best for evening wear.

  • Shows wrinkles more, requires careful care.

• Jacquard & Dobby

  • Intricate woven patterns, often geometric.

  • Statement fabrics that stand out.

  • Excellent for social and formal occasions.
