Herringbone Weave Shirts Herringbone Shirt

 

 

The name herringbone derives from the resemblance between the characteristic chevron pattern of this weave and … herring bones. It’s a traditional pattern that you see in other fabrics besides shirt cotton – particularly wool tweeds.

In shirt terms, however, a

herringbone is a variety of twill weave

. A fine herringbone has the same properties as a fine twill: luxurious elegance, lustrous sheen, gentle drape, wrinkle-resistance, softness and remarkable durability. But instead of a silky diagonal texture, it has a

silky zigzag texture

.

If you want a

‘dressy’ shirt

that will look fabulous worn with or without a jacket, you’ll never go wrong with a fine herringbone.

Herringbone fabric

– describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern usually found in shirt fabrics, under the family of twill shirtings. The pattern is called herringbone because it looks like the skeleton of a herring fish.
