FABRIC GUIDE

SIZES :
DOUBLE YARN CONSTRUCTION The double yarn is a unique construction where two slim fibres are twisted into one thicker yarn . This creates a very durable and hardwearing fibre with a softer , more cottonlike feel to the finished fabric , and gives an extremely stable surface for even the most complex decoration and embroidery .
FRENCH TERRY KNIT FABRIC The inner layer is existing of a nonbrushed loop fabric . There is no fluff , which makes French terry knit fabric ideal for decorating .
HERRINGBONE Named because it resembles the skeleton of a fish , the Herringbone broken chevron pattern is subtly different and distinctive .
LYCRA ® T400 ® The elastomultiester ( LYCRA ® T400 ®) is an advanced double fibre originally developed for jeans . It gently stretches and recovers in every direction and creates a premium garment that retains its fit , and moves with the user .
OXFORD The combination of elegant appearance and excellent durability make Oxford fabrics a good choice for shirts used as team uniforms .
PEACHED FABRIC Fabric surface is softened by emerycovered rollers . This emerizing process breaks the surface of the yarns , creating a softer hand feel .
POPLIN Poplin provides a smooth hand feel and an elegant looking surface , making it one of the most common weave types for formal shirt fabrics . It is tightly woven and provides excellent durability .
PIQUE A fabric generally used for polo shirts . Most commonly used is the single tuck pique , with its finer micro pique variation using finer yarn and a narrower knitting pattern . The double tuck pique has a characteristic honeycomb pattern with superior durability and a softer hand feel .
TEFLON ® ( DUPONT ) Teflon ® fabric protector is built into the fabric and repels water , oil , and stains . Moreover , it does not impact the weight , look , colour or breathability of the fabric .
TWILL Varying the crossovers of the two yarns , warp and weft , creates diagonal patterns that improves the flow and drape of a garment . Russell Europe uses twill weaves for shirt fabrics , as well as for workwear Trousers – the good flow of the fabric combining durability with wearer comfort .
SPOT SHIELD™ Fabrics with a SpotShield™ finishing repel water and most oil-based spills .
SPARE BUTTON All Russell Europe shirts and polos come with a spare button .

MICRO-TWILL A very fine weave using thinner and smoother yarns , combining excellent flow and drape with the elegance of a fine weave fabric . An excellent fabric for premium formal shirts .
NON-IRON Formal shirts that don ’ t require ironing and stay wrinkle-free while worn . Traditionally achieved by applying a coating onto the fabric . Russell Europe ’ s ultimate non-iron shirts use a modern steaming technology that achieves superior non-iron properties without any coating .
RINGSPUN YARN Ring spinning integrates shorter fibres into the yarn by adjusting them with the longer yarns . This leads to a smoother yarn with a softer hand feel and higher durability . Russell Europe only uses yarn that is at least ring spun quality or better .
TENCEL ® A man-made fibre using a natural raw material and produced in an environmentally friendly process . Tencel ® has superior hand feel , is very skin friendly and provides excellent moisture transfer properties . Tencel ® is generally blended with other fibres ; Russell Europe uses blends with cotton .
