What is twill fabric?
Twill is a fabric made from cotton or mixed fibers including cotton. Today it is mainly a mixed material, natural and synthetic components of which perfectly complement each other in various proportions. Compared with twill or satin materials, the twill has a higher density. It is more comfortable and resistant to external influences. The fabric does not stretch and does not change shape even after long use.
As a rule, twill is a plain canvas. Painting technologies of Italian manufacturers guarantee the preservation of color for a long time, as well as the resistance to ultraviolet radiation. If necessary, a designer print or camouflage print is applied to the material.

Types of Italian twill
- Twill satin, or cotton twill. Italian designers are fond of it, because it is ideal for sewing summer clothes. Maximum air permeability is ensured by cotton fibers;
- Twill stretch (silk twill). 2-3% elastane is added to natural cotton threads. Thanks to this, the products acquire elasticity and do not crumple;
- Mixed twill. Depending on the manufacturer’s tasks, from 3 to 70% of artificial materials (most often polyester) are added to the cotton structure. The resulted material is mainly used for the production of workwear and casual suits.
