Printed Shirting Fabric
Our printed shirting capability
Printed shirting carries the design rather than the weave. D BADAMI runs an in-house design studio producing roughly 1,000 new prints a month — digital prints for fine, photographic detail and rotary for volume runs — plus plain and yarn-dyed programmes. Learn more in our guide: digital vs rotary printing.
What we weave
Digital and rotary prints on poplin, satin, twill and dobby bases, in the 120–160 GSM range. Signature digital base: Milk Silk (launched 2020).

| 100% Lyocell (incl. Tencel) | Soft drape with a subtle sheen; sustainable |
| 100% Viscose / Rayon | Fluid, soft-handle, excellent for prints |
