This Italian yarn-dyed cotton shirting fabric features a refined micro-check pattern woven in rich purple and black. The exceptionally small-scale check creates subtle visual texture and depth while remaining versatile enough for both classic and contemporary garments.
Unlike a surface-printed design, the pattern is created using yarn-dyed threads woven directly into the fabric. The interplay between the purple and black yarns produces a dimensional effect that can appear more or less pronounced depending on the light, viewing distance and direction of the fabric.
At 146 gsm, this fabric has a versatile shirting weight with enough body to create a clean silhouette while remaining comfortable for garments worn close to the body. Its 100% cotton composition provides breathability and a natural hand, while the woven construction gives the fabric a neat, structured drape.
Made in Italy, this distinctive cotton shirting is an excellent choice for button-up shirts, oversized shirts, blouses, shirt dresses and other garments where a subtle woven pattern can elevate a simple silhouette.

Recommended Needle
For best results, use a Universal or Microtex needle in size 70/10 or 80/12. Always test your needle, thread and stitch settings on a scrap of fabric before beginning your project.
Care
Pre-washing before cutting is recommended, as cotton may shrink. Wash with similar colors in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid excessive heat when drying to help preserve the fabric and its colors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the micro-check pattern printed?
No. This is a yarn-dyed fabric, meaning the purple and black yarns are dyed before weaving and the micro-check design is created directly through the woven construction rather than printed onto the surface.
Is this fabric suitable for shirts?
Yes. Its 146 gsm weight and woven cotton construction make it particularly well suited to button-up shirts, oversized shirts, blouses and shirt dresses.

Shipping Policy
We are committed to providing reliable nationwide delivery using trusted shipping partners.
Québec and Ontario
We’ve recently updated our shipping options to give you more flexibility and competitive rates. At checkout, you can now choose from multiple carriers — including Canada Post, ICS Courrier, Canpar, Purolator, FedEx, UPS, and more.
Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.
Other Provinces in Canada, USA, and International Shipping
For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges.
In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.
Import Duties & Customs Fees (USA & International Orders)
All orders shipped outside of Canada — including to the United States — may be subject to import duties, customs fees, taxes and other charges assessed by the destination country’s customs authorities. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customers agree to pay any duties, taxes, fees, or charges required by the destination country in order for customs to release the package. Failure to pay such charges may result in your order being returned or abandoned by the carrier, and no refunds will be issued for duties or unused shipping fees.
We strive to provide clear communication and ensure your shipping experience is seamless. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at: info@lestissees.com

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable. Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
We cannot cancel or refund orders once we've cut your fabric. If a refund is necessary, a 5% administration fee of your total bill will be charged.
We cannot offer refunds or compensation for items purchased a few days before they go on sale.
