What is a gabradine shirt?
A shirt made of gabardine fabric. Gabardine is a tough, tightly
woven fabric used to make suits, overcoats, trousers uniforms, and
other garments. The fibre used to make the fabric is traditionally
worsted wool, but may also be cotton, texturized polyester, or a
blend. Gabardine is woven as a warp-faced steep or regular twill,
with a prominent diagonal rib on the face and smooth surface on the
back. Garbardine always has many more warp than fillingyarns.
