Product Description
Made in the UK from start to finish.
Traditionally, fabrics with a cavalry twill weave were made with wool and used for hard wearing clothes, such as riding pants for cavalry uniforms. The twill weave creates a characteristic diagonal pattern that allows the yarns to move more freely, making the fabric softer and more pliable. Cavalry twill fabrics are renowned for their exceptional handle and drape.
Our cavalry twill fabric is part of the Tower Mill range of shirting that’s made using luxury 2-ply 100s yarn, which is spun from extra-long-staple Californian Pima cotton at our mill in Manchester. It’s woven locally to produce a supple, super-soft fabric.

Caring for your luxury English Fine Cottons clothing
A little TLC goes a long way if you want your luxury clothing to look their best for longer.
- The first rule is – wash your cotton garments sparingly.
- If you need to freshen-up a n item you’ve only worn for a few hours, give it a quick steam or put in in the dryer on the no heat setting just to fluff it up. But remember, heat from a tumble dryer will almost certainly shrink your cotton clothing.
- Wash your clothing at 30°C – if the heat’s too high, it’ll probably shrink.
- Wash by hand if you have time, using just a little mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners – your English Fine Cottons clothing doesn’t need it and it’ll only clog-up the fine fibres.
- Treat stains properly – and as soon as you can – before washing. But don’t use bleach.
- Always sort your laundry before washing – be sure you don’t accidentally bung your lovely white tee in with the jeans!
- It’s a good idea to wash your clothes, particularly your luxury cotton items, inside out – it’ll help stop the fabric from bobbling (pilling). Using a delicates bag can also help protect your clothing.
- If they’re air dried flat or hanging up, they probably won’t need ironing if you gently stretch them back into shape as soon as they come out of the washing machine.
- If you do want to iron your luxury cotton tees, press using a very low heat or alternatively, use a steam machine – steaming is gentler on the fabric and will plump-up the fibres of your cotton clothing without flattening the surface.
- Always iron or steam your tees inside out.
