Cotton Shirting Fabric
Why cotton for shirting?
Cotton is the shirting default — breathable, soft against the skin, easy to print and dye, and crisp when woven as poplin or oxford. D BADAMI weaves 100% cotton and cotton-linen blends in-house for quality control. For grades and long-staple detail, read our cotton guide. Learn more in our guide: cotton shirting fabric guide.
What we weave
100% Cotton and Cotton-Linen across poplin, twill, satin, oxford and dobby, in plain, printed and yarn-dyed programmes, 120–160 GSM.
