COTTON DRILL FABRIC
Cotton Drill Fabric is a type of fabric made from 100% cotton that’s tightly woven in a diagonal pattern known as ‘twill weave’. The cotton is combed to remove impurities and pre-shrunk to prevent shrinkage when washed. This type of fabric became widely used during the industrial revolution when laborers used it to make workwear. It was also a popular fabric during the 1840’s, when the troops during British Empire’s rule of India, would wear uniforms made from cotton drill that was colored to tan to match the dusty surroundings, thereby providing great camouflage.
Cotton Drill Fabrics undergo a weaving process that gives them various characteristics and advantages. To start with, this heavy-duty fabric has abrasion resistance, as well as wear and tear resistance properties. This fabric is well-known for its strength and durability. It is also naturally breathable and has moisture-wicking characteristics, which makes it comfortable to wear in different environments. With its moisture content, it becomes non-static; and when wet, it drips less since it absorbs 65% of its weight.

Overall, it is a reliable material that can provide comfort, durability, and strength in multitudes of applications.
