The combination of these two fibers creates a versatile material that balances comfort, durability, and style.
Herringbone Weave:
The herringbone weave is characterized by its distinctive V-shaped pattern.
Imagine the spine of a herring fish (yes, the fish!)—the weave resembles that shape.
In herringbone patterns, the lines in each column lean towards opposite directions, creating a visually appealing zigzag effect.
This weave is often associated with classic menswear and outerwear.
