Poplin fabric

Poplin is a strong plain weave of any fibre. Poplin originally consisted of a silk warp and a wool weft, but nowadays is now made with wool, cotton, silk, rayon or polyester. In World War II, poplin was the main material for the uniforms of both British and US military. Due to its weight, strength and silky finish, poplin is commonly found in the production of high end shirts.
