Robert Kaufman Essex Linen Metallic For Shirt

Still wrestling with inconsistent metallic yarns that snag or lose lustre? At Six Dragon Textile, our 16 years perfecting shirting fabrics for brands like Zara and Uniqlo taught us that real luxury survives the laundry room. Take this Robert Kaufman-inspired Essex Linen Metallic-52% linen, 43% cotton, 5% metallic foil, but the magic lies underneath. Our Japanese Murata air-jet looms weave metallic threads at 18% slower tension, preventing breakage while achieving that signature drape buyers actually request.

Honestly, most metallic shirting fabrics fade after 20 washes. Not ours. Partnering with Oeko-Tex® certified dye houses, we fix colours at 32°C precisely-preserving foil luminosity with 4+ colourfastness while slashing energy use. That vertical control (yarn sourcing → finishing) means reliable stock: 500m MOQs, cuttable within 21 days. You'll find no random slubs here; our QC lab runs every 500m roll under LED magnifiers. Last month, a German menswear brand switched to us after their metallic yarns tarnished in humid climates. Solution? Our proprietary anti-corrosion coating.

Machine washable luxury. Really. Industrial tumble tests proved 50 cycles with <0.5% foil loss thanks to double-starching before weaving. Ideal for limited-edition blouses where tactile texture matters-the 20Nm linen yarn creates that desirable rumple without compromising structure. While pure linen wrinkles easily, our cotton blend maintains 65% wrinkle recovery after 8 hours wear.

We know shirting designers need precision. That's why we guarantee width consistency (±0.5cm) and GSM tolerance (±3%). Found defects? Our 22-year veteran QC team resolves claims in 72 hours. Request swatches with your design codes: gm@sixdragontextile.com. Proof over promise.
