Thomas Mason Shirtings
The Thomas Mason cotton factory was founded in England in 1796 by Sir Thomas Mason and quickly made a name for itself throughout the upper classes of England and in time became the cloth merchant of choice for Turnbull and Asser, shirtmaker to the Royal Family. In 1992 Thomas Mason was acquired by the Albini family of Bergamo, Italy, and still represents the benchmark for lovers of the British taste in fine shirtings.
We currently carry the following range of samples from the Thomas Mason Silverline
Silver - £130
We carry approximately 60 swatch samples of this range; plains, checks and stripes including end-on-end weave. This we suggest as an excellent range of fabrics for a staple English influenced shirt wardrobe
Composition: 100% Cotton - 100/2 x 100/2 - Weight g.m2: 108/115
Zephir 1818 - £130
The mix of cotton and linen make this fabric ideal for a casual summer shirt. We carry this as three micro-ginghams in red, blue and navy. Our suggestion is to use this with a button-down collar for the weekend.
Composition: 73% Cotton/ 27% Linen - 100/2 x 35,4/1 - Weight g.m2: 95/100
Royal Oxford - £135
Another fabric suitable for a more casual shirt with button-down collar. An Oxford weave but a finer weave than that usually associated with Oxford cloth. Five plain colours are available.
Composition: 100% Cotton - 100/2 x 100/2 - Weight g.m2: 123/133
Herrin - £130
A delightful wide-herringboned twill fabric. Available in six shades. Quite a dressy fabric with a soft drape.
Composition: 100% Cotton - 100/2 x 100/2 - Weight g.m2: 115/120

We have seven Dobby fabrics in the Thomas Mason Silverline. A collection of white on whites in differently weaves for a classical, elegant and precious shirt, suitable for those unforgettable events.
Composition: 100% Cotton - 100/2 x 100/2 - Weight g.m2: 108/118
Byron-Kent - £130
Our six Byron-Kent fabrics are mainly plain pastels. A finer fabric than the silver, but not so fine that it is hard to iron. Pair a shirt from this with your favourite bespoke suit.
Composition: 100% Cotton - 120/2 x 120/2 - Weight g.m2: 98/100
Sovereign - £140
A 160/2 warp and weft creates a fine luxurious shirt with a silky texture. If you find standard cotton fabrics coarse against the skin then this is the fabric for you from the Silverline book. Five plain colours are carried.

Voile Mason - £130
A voile is an open-weaved, lightweight, precious fabric, impalpable almost like silk. Equally at home for a dress-shirt or a casual shirt for on the beach. We have five plain colours.
