Acorn Fabrics is one of the only shirting mills that engages with and sells directly to end customers. Aside from this, the quality of their fabrics is on par with the likes of Thomas Mason and other big players in the market. Their collection has some uniquely interesting colours and patterns such as a red striped heavy Oxford (my shirtmaker in Naples couldn't find a similar fabric from any other mill) or the cotton-linen Aruba denim. Having browsed through shirting swatches from many other mills, I also think that Acorn has the best collection of Tattersall shirtings anywhere. I've taken several of Acorn's fabrics to Naples with me and had them made into beautiful shirts.
My Acorn fabrics arrived in Sydney today - including the Malham 280 royal. The staff at Acorn are professional and generous, and head an extraordinary company with excellent quality cloth. I feel blessed to have discovered them and will definitely look forward to using them again in future. Sal B in Sydney
I can't praise Acorn Fabrics highly enough. A wonderful company, I didn't think such companies still existed. Five stars are just not enough!
I have always found Acorn Fabrics to be a splendid company. Their product is of the highest quality, offered across a wide, comprehensive range of fabrics and colours and the 'team' are both veryfriendly and extremely efficient. It is a pleasure to do business with them.

I bought several lengths of this silk for shirts, because I had always wanted bespoken silk shirts. I was told, by many, that this would be a very foolish idea, because of a certain stereotypical notion of how silk would behave. It turns out to be all wrong, and I – and Acorn – was right. The shirts are very breathable, very comfortable, and for some reason, very adaptable to the temperature and environment as well – cool during heat and warm during cold – which makes for excellent all around shirt fabric. It also tends to wick moisture away instead of soaking it all in, so not as much sweat stains and such. It also tends to roll off a lot of rain droplets before it gets soaked, so there is some mild water-repellence to it as well. It can be laundered in cold and mild settings, using all natural silk detergent or hair shampoo – in a pinch, even wool shampoo will do as well – so the shirts are just fantastic. However, the downside is that one really has to press these shirts with authority after laundry to get them back to shape and size.
All in all, a silk fabric worth paying for, and then some more.
