POPLIN - A CHILD OF THE POPES

Avignon was the seat of the popes from 1309 to 1376. The papal palace is the architectural showpiece of the city in Provence, which has been awarded World Heritage status. The popes' desire for a fine, dense, durable cotton fabric made the local weavers inventive. They wove a double-thickness weft thread with a normal-thickness warp thread at a ratio of 2:1, transforming the familiar plain weave into the previously unknown rib weave.

The cotton poplin used by Christian Weber is a vintage poplin because the fabric is washed before processing. The ready-made poplin shirts surpass their papal predecessors: they have French seams, a hunter linen reinforcement in the collar, a blind patch breast pocket, unmistakable signatures such as an embroidered feather on the sleeve and 2 hand-embroidered crosses on the stand-up collar. This can be worn open or folded over.
