Interested In This Fabric?
Drill, a twill weave fabric, is a strong, dense to heavy-weight cloth usually supplied bleached or dyed, though it is equally at home in its unbleached form. As one of our core products, it comes in vibrant colours and holds significant value in the garment-making business, thanks to its distinctive diagonal weave and durability.
Key Features
Strong diagonal twill weave
The signature diagonal rib construction gives drill cloth its density and resistance to everyday wear.
Bleached, dyed, or unbleached
Supplied bleached or dyed for garments, or unbleached where a natural, raw finish is required.
Heat-protective cotton drill
100% cotton drill is widely used for cooks' and chefs' uniforms, where its thickness helps protect the wearer from heat.
Suited to heavier-weight garments
Heavier weights are used for corsets and structured garments that need a firm, supportive base cloth.
