THUNDERBOLT COTTON CAMBRIC
Cambric is a fine plain cotton or linen, woven from particularly delicate yarn under high tension. The name was recorded in 1530 and refers to the fabric’s origin in Cambrai (Camerick in contemporary English) in the North of France. The name shares a root with Chambray, which is a cambric woven with a contrasting coloured warp and weft.
Thunderbolt Cambric is woven in England, and has a plain ground with a raised spaced twill in the shape of a stepped thunderbolt pattern. The warp is ecru cotton and the weft is olive green, subtly altering the tone of the dyes used on shirts cut from this cloth.
