End on end is a classic weave and a must for all wardrobes. The English term comes from the French “fil-à-fil”, literally “thread-to-thread”. End on End is a type of closely woven, plain weave cloth created by the alternation of light and dark warp and weft threads. Typically woven using white thread with another colour to create a fabric with a subtly heathered texture that, from a distance, appears as a solid colour. End on end has the same properties as poplin, the only difference is that end on end features lighter coloured weft threads running in a horizontal direction on the shirt, giving it a subtle two-tone effect. This subtle weave effect makes it very versatile, plain enough to wear in a work setting but enough interest to be dressed down in a social environment. Our end on end shirting fabrics are all yarn dyed which gives a richer and more stable colour compared to dyeing the fabric after it is woven.
