THOMAS MASON – SHIRT FABRIC’S
AMERICAN OXFORD
American Oxford is a legendary fabric that has become a style icon thanks to the great celebrities and actors that have made it famous in the world. Traditionally woven with warp in 40/1 and weft 10/1, it presents a special and typical irregular construction that enhances its elegance. Typically used for a button-down shirt, it is ideal for casual chic, unstructured shirts.
BALMORAL
There are some encounters that make history. Even in fabrics. Like the one between the two natural fibres of Cotton and Cashmere, united in a unique yarn that combines the best characteristics of both: the breathability and wearability of Cotton, the softness and warmth of Cashmere. A precious fabric with a pleasant touch for a sophisticated-casual shirt, elegant and a joy to wear.
DENIM
Comfortable, durable, versatile: this is the Denim offer from Albiate 1830 selected by Thomas Mason. In particular, Albiate 1830 has reinterpreted Denim in all styles, from classic to sporty. The result is a proposal which, in terms of quality, structures and designs is unique in the world.
Even if Denim, you can now enjoy it in a classic way: precious indigo in two-fold, capable of infusing a more tailored and sophisticated soul to sportswear. Particularly significant are the varieties of treatments, such as enzyme washing and single or double bleaching, that enhance the charm, vintage effect and uniqueness of the fabric.
The particular indigo dye used makes tonal and colour shading effects on the garment which evolve over time, giving life to the fabric. Please be aware, close contact with white clothing could result in some release of colour.
JERSEY
Originally from the Island of Jersey in the English Channel, where it takes its narre from, the Jersey fabric is knitted in "Filo di Scozia" extra-long staple cotton. The fibres of this cotton, meticulously selected, are endowed with great resistance, flexibility and brilliance, ideal characteristics for creating a compact knit with a soft touch that is extremely comfortable to wear and which offers a high level of breathability. Choose Flore or Alysson and you will discover this.
JOURNEY
Are you looking for a shirt that is always impeccable, which does not crease, is comfortable and perfect after every wash? You are on the right page. Journey fabrics, are ideal for those who want a shirt which is cool and smart, even after wearing it from morning to night or having it packed at length in a suitcase.
Thanks to the use of the best extra long staple cotton and the characteristic of performance, Journey is a unique product on the market, capable of adapting to every business trip or any other journey life brings along.
LEISURE
Classic or contemporary? Formal or informal?
With the Leisure Collection by Thomas Mason it's easy to have the best. Of everything.
Leisure time is to fulfil your passions, follow your own instincts and devote yourself to what brings happiness. However, the best definition is enclosed within this series of fabrics, whose classic and sporty designs make them ideal for exploring the outside world in all its shades. From the iconic style of Downing and Tribeca to the lively durrants, you will always find the perfect fabric to dress your best, whatever the occasion.
LINEN
Maybe you do not know, but the secret of linen is enclosed in a beautiful blue flower of the plant Linum Usitatissimum that grows in Europe. What is not a secret, however, are the extraordinary properties that make it unique in the world. Linen, in fact, is:
• thermo-regulating: absorbs the heat of the body and expels it outside, leaving a fresh and dry feeling;
• anallergic: does not retain dust;
• extremely strong: it lasts for a long time and increases in softness with every wash;
• ecological: linen requires much less water than other crops and requires a minimum quantity of fertilisers.
OXFORD & PIQUET
There are fabrics you can choose at the drop of a hat. Oxford and Piquet, for instance.
From the myth of the American Oxford to the preppy-style fabrics like Cambridge or Oxford 75, passing through the rich Piquet 70 constructions, arriving to the exceptional best-selling Royal Oxford, you will discover the secret of being impeccable in any occasion: whether at a classical music opera or on the golf course taking a winning swing.
POPLIN
Creating a Poplin like this is not a piece of cake. Wearing it and feeling extraordinary, on the other hand, is a piece of cake.
The Poplin of Thomas Mason is sacred. Not only because the Poplin name derives from the fabric created for the Popes in the Middle Age, but above all because these used only the best yarns. Soft and crisp, the Poplin of Thomas Mason is always refined and suitable for both the office as well as a formal evening. Twice the number of warp threads in comparison with the weft, results in a compact structure that makes these fabrics ideally suited to lively and bright designs.
SPECIALS
Light and fresh, but also soft and warm.
Innovative and elegant, but also sporty and informal. Our fabrics are perfect for every occasion, for every style and personality. That's why they are so special
STRETCH
Nothing will make you feel more at ease than our high performance stretch fabrics.
Pleasant from the outset with their extraordinary compactness and brightness to the perfect fit and great comfort they offer. Do not overlook also the innovative "Natural Comfort" fabric, whose secret is enclosed in a special treatment that confers a natural elasticity without using any synthetic components.
TWILL
Finding your feet is not as easy as finding your Twill.
We have always been inclined towards elegance, and our Twill fabrics are the perfect demonstration of that. Thanks to the passage of the weft yarn over and under several warp yarns, ascending to each "step", we obtain the typical diagonal structure that gives softness to the fabric. Simple and bold designs make Twill an ideal fabric for a perfect urban gentleman
ZEPHIR & LINEN
A day will come when someone can match the Iightness and preciousness of our Cotton and Linen. That day, pigs will fly.
Sometimes the most natural encounters are those that make things special. Like the one between Cotton and Linen that gives life to an enveloping mix of Iightness, elegance and sophistication.
For unique and unparalleled fabrics that get the best out of nature.
