Twill

SERGE heavy/medium

A durable, tightly woven fabric with


distinct diagonal rib pattern.
PROPERTIES
Durability: Serge is highly durable, resistant to wear and
tear, making it ideal for uniforms and outerwear.
Wrinkle Resistance: Due to its tight weave and fiber
composition, it resists wrinkling better than many other
fabrics.
Breathability: Wool serge, in particular, has good
breathability, making it comfortable for various climates.
Smooth Surface: The surface of serge is smoother
compared to other twill fabrics, contributing to its refined
appearance.
Flexibility: Despite being firm, serge offers moderate
flexibility due to its twill weave structure.
Drape: Serge has a structured drape, meaning it holds
its shape well and does not flow as loosely as softer
fabrics like chiffon or silk.

STORY
Serge fabric has a rich historical background dating
back to medieval Europe. The name “Serge” is derived
from the Latin word “serica”, meaning “silk,” as early
versions contained silk fibers. It became widely used in
the 19th and 20th centuries for military uniforms due to
its strength and wrinkle-resistant properties. Today, it
remains a staple in high-end tailoring and formalwear.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

FABRICATION
Serge is produced using a tight twill weave method. The fabric
can be woven from wool, worsted yarns, polyester, or blends.
The weave creates a diagonal rib effect, making the fabric
denser and stronger than plain-weave fabrics.

COMMON PATTERNS
TYPES OF SERGE
Wool Serge: The traditional form, made from 100%
wool, used in high-end suits and military uniforms.
Poly-Wool Serge: A blend of polyester and wool,
offering more durability and wrinkle resistance.
Worsted Serge: Made from finer, combed worsted
wool, giving it a smoother texture and more refined
appearance.
