Custom Black 120s Two-Ply Italian Broadcloth Dress Shirt
Broadcloth weave · Italian cotton
About this fabric
This is a black broadcloth dress shirt in an Italian 100% cotton, woven from fine 120s two-ply yarn and made to your measurements by Panache Bespoke. Broadcloth is a tight, flat weave with a smooth, clean surface, and the fine yarn gives this black cloth a refined, even finish.
Why a black broadcloth shirt
Black is the boldest color a shirt can be, and broadcloth keeps it sharp. The flat weave looks smooth rather than textured, so the color reads deep and even from collar to cuff. It suits business, formal and business casual wear, and it works well with dark suits, blazers and tailored trousers.
The cloth is rated 3 out of 5 for wrinkle resistance, so it is slightly wrinkle-resistant. Hang it to dry and give it a light press on low heat for the cleanest finish.

120s two-ply means two very fine cotton yarns are twisted together for each thread. The result is a smooth, fine cloth that is stronger than a single-ply fabric of similar weight.

Care
Machine wash cold, use non-chlorine bleach only, hang dry and iron on low heat. The fabric is expected to shrink meaningfully in length and slightly in width. We apply counter-shrinkage adjustments when we cut your shirt so it keeps fitting after washing.
Questions about the black 120s two-ply Italian broadcloth shirt
What is broadcloth?
Broadcloth is a tight, flat weave with a smooth surface. It looks clean and crisp, which suits business and formal wear.
What does 120s two-ply mean?
It describes the yarn. Each thread is two fine 120s cotton yarns twisted together, which gives the cloth a smooth feel and added strength.
Is the fabric see-through?
It is rated 3 out of 5 for opacity, which means fairly opaque.
Is this shirt wrinkle-resistant?
