Twill Brushed Polyester Fabric

Along with satin and plain weave, twill is one of the three original weave types used in textiles. "Twill" doesn't refer to a certain type of fabric fiber, but to a specific type of weave that creates a diagonal pattern. In contrast, satin and plain weaves have straight grains.

The fabric has been woven in a twill pattern for thousands of years, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of this fabric. However, the word "twill" is a modern variant of the Old English "twili", which is a half adoption of the Latin word "bilix". As such, twill is often associated with British culture, although the fabric has been woven in other cultures for much longer.

There are many different ways to weave twill, which are still considered twill. Essentially, as long as diagonal lines are visible in the final fabric, the fabric is considered a twill weave, even though it may be structurally different from other fabric types of the same name.

Twill vs Linen

Again, you can't really compare twill and linen because twill is the structure of the fabric and linen is the material used to create the structure.

While it's less common than cotton or polyester, you can find twill made from linen. You'll see this in some high-end shirts, for example, because knitting uses more linen and costs more than plain linen.

Twill linen generally has a heavier drape than plain linen. It feels thicker and thicker in the hand. Instead of the loose, mesh-like basket weave of regular linen, it will have distinct diagonal ridges on its surface.

Interestingly, you can find historical precedents for this fabric. Long ago, in Scotland, a special type of linen called Jacobian linen twill appeared as the perfect backdrop for intricate double-wheel embroidery. This material shows a diagonal pattern on both sides of the fabric, not just one.
