A fresh, spongy cotton fabric whose four-thread tension (two warps and two wefts) gives relief to its motif in the form of lozenges, squares or aligned points. Piqué is frequently used in the manufacturing of polo shirts.
Poplin
Initially baptised “papeline” in honour of the Holy Father for whom it was made in Avignon, poplin is a light and supple fabric where there are twice as many warp threads as weft threads. Once made of wool and silk, this material is today more frequently made in cotton.
