Fil-à-fil fabric has French origins; in fact, the term is the literal translation of “thread by thread.” It is one of the lightest fabrics, featuring a weave created by intertwining white threads with colored ones.
The resulting texture creates a highly detailed optical effect, similar to a striped or micro-check pattern. Although it is a very lightweight fabric, fil-à-fil can be worn in any season, and thanks to its special weaving, it is available in many color variations. Perfect for the businessman or for a truly special day off.

The name derives from the university city of Oxford in England. Its distinctive feature is that it is made with fine yarns (often colored) in the warp and thicker white yarns in the weft, giving it the characteristic “speckled” or “checkerboard” appearance.
Originally used for sportswear and heavier than other options, this fabric is now ideal for making versatile shirts that can be worn with ease. A button-down collar is recommended! Perfect for leisure time or for your working days.

The name poplin derives from “papalina,” as the production of this fabric began in Avignon, the seat of the Papacy in the 14th century.
Poplin is characterized by a subtle ribbed effect created by its plain weave, with a double number of warp threads compared to the weft. Thanks to its special structure, it offers excellent breathability, making it suitable even in winter for those who desire comfort and freshness under a jacket, and it lends itself well to square-pattern designs. A compact, fine, durable fabric that is soft to the touch: a true classic of men’s fashion. Perfect for work and formal occasions.

Denim is known worldwide as the base fabric for jeans garments, first and foremost the iconic blue jeans. However, this fabric is used not only for trousers but also for shirts in the characteristic indigo color, distinguished by their durability and moderate thermal insulation.
Denim is made with a weft of threads in the natural cotton color (white) and a warp of vertical blue-dyed threads. Ideal for leisure wear.

Twill fabric features a twill weave, meaning its binding points are arranged diagonally; this construction creates subtle raised lines at a 45-degree angle, giving the shirt a distinctive diagonal texture.
A compact, fairly heavy fabric that holds its crease for a long time and is easy to iron. Ideal for travel and for a formal shirt that never wrinkles.

Flannel is one of the softest fabrics used for shirts. Often associated with sporty wear, a flannel shirt can be particularly warm and is ideal for the colder periods of the year.
There are many color variations, and the weave often features different patterns and shades based on the wearer’s taste. It can be made of wool, a cotton blend, or—if a lighter option is desired—entirely of cotton. To the touch, a flannel shirt feels soft, warm, and slightly fuzzy. Perfect for leisure time in autumn or winter.

The weaves of this type of fabric resemble the hexagons of a honeycomb.
The English weave is usually preferred for cotton or linen shirts, suitable for warm climates thanks to the breathable and elastic effect they provide to the wearer.

An ideal fabric for the hot summer months, as it is light, breathable, and thinner than almost any other.
Its qualities are due to the weaving of extremely fine warp and weft threads, as well as the exclusive use of pure cotton.

Moreal Roma crafts shirts in a linen–cotton blend that combines the freshness of linen with the softness of cotton.
With linen accounting for 65% of the total fabric weight, shirts made from this material are especially suitable for wearing during the summer season.
