Fabric:
- Chambray: The defining characteristic. It's a lightweight to medium-weight plain-weave cotton fabric. What sets it apart is the use of different colored yarns for the warp (vertical threads) and weft (horizontal threads), often with a dyed warp and a white weft. This creates a subtle heathered or salt-and-pepper appearance, giving it a visual texture that distinguishes it from solid broadcloth or poplin.
