Presenting our fine Ravello Black Mercerized Cotton Shirting. Mercerized cotton fabrics are far from your basic cotton fabrics, as they are finished with a special chemical treatment that increases luster, dye absorption, and tear strength while reducing fabric shrinkage. This luminous, crisp-handed cotton shirting is one for the fashion books and a wardrobe essential! Thin and lightweight, it has a crisp, cool hand and a stiff but flexible drape that allows you to get creative with silhouette. Turn it into classic button-downs, as well as smart and billowy skirts, blouses, and dresses. Translucent, a lining is suggested for more opacity or structure.This eco-friendly product is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified; tested independently and worldwide, the certification system evaluates finished, semi-finished, and raw textiles while thoroughly covering chemicals, harmful substances, and precautionary parameters. Also recognized and certified by the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative), this product undoubtedly qualifies as eco-friendly for its sustainable sourcing; focusing on the exchange of good practices, it passes the economic, environmental, and social concerns of the initiative.
