Italodrill Loosies

A clean and crisp elevated workwear fabric. A 250gsm twill woven in Italy, this is quite frankly the nicest polycotton we’ve ever experienced. Polyester of course has quite a bad rep in this day and age, while poly-cotton blends are of course associated with workwear uniforms, but it’s in these sorts of overlooked terrains that the best stuff evolves. Polyester gets a bad rep because it’s easy to do it cheaply, but on the flip side it’s common in workwear because it’s so damn durable and easy to take care of. This particular blend features a quite common ratio of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, a well honed formula retains all of polyester’s easy to care for character, while tempering the heat reflectivity and static electric charge of pure poly.

Woven in a tight twill weave, aka a drill. At 250gsm it makes for relatively lightweight pants and jackets. The Italian touch really shines in the drape department, this stuff has a soft elegant flow that hides its workwear ruggedness.
