Shirt fabrics and styles

The shirt fabric you choose is a very personal choice that expresses who you are. Whatever fabric you choose your PERNAC shirt will be of made from the highest quality fabrics and made to your own unique design and size.

You can choose a shirt fabric from all of the following weaves :
Poplin :
The most classic shirt fabric and the most popular. Shirts made from this material are easy to iron and don't wrinkle easily.
 Weaves : Poplin fabrics are made by using coarse filling yarns in a plain weave.

Oxford :
This fabric has a very subtle basketweave look with a silk-like and lusterous finish. Royal Oxford is a similar fabric with a finer basketweave look.
 Weaves : The warp (lengthwise yarns) is coloured and the weft (woven yarns) is white. Oxford and Royal Oxford can be used to make business shirts and casual shirts.

End on end :
This fabric is made by alternating two threads of two different colours. Using this technique yields a fabric that has colour that shows the weave.
 Weaves : Usually the warp has the coloured threads and the weft thread is white.

Twill :
Fabric characterized by a diagonal structure which is more or less invisible.

Herringbone :
A fabric close in design to twill and which structure is in a sawtooth design.

Ply (or twist) :
A twisted thread is composed by different single threads which are spun together in order to become one unique thread. Ply fabrics are very strong.

Double twisted (or two ply) :
Fabric made up with threads in a double twist. A very strong fabric.

Silk :
Silk is a natural fibre which can be woven into textiles. The best known type of silk is obtained from cocoons made by the larvae of the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori reared in captivity.
 Weaves : The shimmering appearance for which silk is prized comes from the fibre's triangular prism like structure which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles.



The warp (A) :
The warp is the set of lengthwise yarns through which the weft is woven. Each individual warp thread in a fabric is called a warp end.
The weft (B) :
The weft is the yarn which is drawn under and over parallel warp yarns to create a fabric.
The selvedges :
The selvedge is the uncut edge of the fabric which is on the right and left hand edges as it comes out of the loom.
We have developed a large range of styles and options so that you can configure your shirt right down to the most minor detail to finish with a perfectly fitted tailor made shirt that reflects your individuality.
Start by choosing from :

  • Our collars, classic or original, with 1, 2 or 3 buttons and adjustable heights. You can embroider your name inside the collar and choose a contrasting fabric for your collar.
  • Our cuffs, classical or original, with 1 or 2 buttons or double cuffs to take cufflinks. Most cuffs are designed to be combined with our collars but you can combine two different styles if you like.
  • Choose the shape of the buttons, as well as their colour. Feel free to change the buttonhole stitching colour too.
  • Choose the shape and the position of your pockets as well as the shape of the back of the shirt, of the placket and of the bottom of your shirt. Don't forget to specify the cut you want, in order to finish the look and feel of your shirt.
  • Lastly, choose to embroider your initials, to personalize your shirt. You can also choose the colour of the thread to blend in or contrast with the fabric that you have selected.
