A beautifully fine Italian cotton poplin in a deep dark navy, woven with the kind of quality that makes you stop and run your hand over it twice. Smooth, crisp and soft all at once, this is proper shirting cloth with a refined woven finish and a clean handle that feels effortlessly expensive. The colour has real depth to it too - not flat or harsh, but a rich navy that works just as well for classic shirts as it does for smarter dresses and lightweight tailoring.
At approximately 145gsm, it sits in that perfect sweet spot for premium cotton poplin. Light enough for comfortable year-round wear, but with enough body to hold shape beautifully when sewn. Being ex-designer and made in Italy, the quality speaks for itself, and with limited stock available, it’s not the sort of fabric you’ll come across twice. Worthy of ambitious sewing plans, last-minute shirt ideas and the patterns you’ve been saving “for something special”.
