Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Gabardine is a tightly woven, dense twill with a smooth surface and clearly defined diagonal lines. It is generally firm and durable and holds its shape well. Compared with lighter twills, gabardine has a more compact surface and is commonly used for trousers, coats, suits and tailored garments.
