Retro Fabric: to create colorful costumes with vintage allure

The retro fabric, available on our website, is made of polyester, bright colors and prints of different patterns that evoke past eras: extremely versatile, in fact, lends itself to many possibilities of use, especially to create beautiful Carnival costumes.

The term “retrò” refers to the “old style” and, specifically, to styles ranging from the twenties to the eighties of the twentieth century. The wider connotation of the retrò style, however, comes to a return to fashion, the timeless one, made of unique pieces and iconic details.

The retro fabric made of polyester recalls the bold and colorful chintz of the ’40s and ’50s, the amazing psychedelic swirls of the ’60s and ’70s and the neon colors typical of the ’80s.
For this reason, the term retr is often associated with the term vintage: in fact, both are used interchangeably. 300 / 2000 à é è ì î ó ò ù Vintage, in fact, refers to objects that actually go back to a certain period of time, while retro refers to the elements associated with the ethics of design of a certain period, regardless of whether they were actually produced during that period.

The retrò fabric is therefore at the center of a wider aesthetic and follows the popularity of nostalgia, in which houses and fashion receive a vintage treatment so as to seem transported in previous decades.

Retrò fabrics: fancy prints and bright colors to make perfect costumes

Timeless black and white, geometric shapes, pink tones with bright references ranging from fluo yellow to deep blue: these are just some of the elements that dominate theretro-style fabrics, meticulously selected by the company Manifattura Foderami Cimmino.

These special fabrics can be used both to furnish your home with a style that leads us directly back in time, and to realize some of the main masks of Carnival, those that characterize the different Italian regional traditions.

The retro fabric lends itself to various uses, including scenographic ones: a triumph of colors to be declined in the field of clothing and furniture, events and costume design!

Gabardine fabric: what is it and how to use it?

The gabardine or gabardina fabric is a real jewel of the textile industry. A fabric that stands out for its particular beauty, both in its initial and raw version and in the final stage of processing, when the textile element is transformed into a garment made in detail.

Manifattura Foderami Cimmino leads us to the discovery of the gabardine fabric, refined and versatile, and explains the many possible uses for this renowned fabric!

Gabardine: refined, compact and very resistant fabric

The gabardine fabric responds to the request of a garment suitable for mid-seasons, with soft colors and extremely elegant appearance. From a purely technical point of view it is defined as a medium-weight combed yarn and a dry hand in solid colour, with batavia armour and dominant warp. Relatively waterproof to air and water, it appears very closed and compact, crossed by an original diagonal stripe. A quality gabardine fabric is recognized for its thin ribs.

There are two types of gabardine, that of combed wool, or cotton gabardine fabric. Both the wool and cotton gabardine looks like a very elegant and very resistant fabric: thanks to its compactness it is used in the field of quality tailoring for the creation of tailored clothes for men and women with clean and simple lines, trousers, jackets, work uniforms, coats and trenches.

History of Gabardine fabric: from the Renaissance to the invention of Burberry

Where does gabardine tissue originate from? The medieval gabardine was a wide and long garment that was usually used over trousers and shirt, as further protection from the cold and tied around the waist. During the Renaissance in France gabardine was the name given to a popular wool cloak, derived from the Spanish word “gabardina” which indicated the tunic of the workers. So the term went on to indicate the resistant and warm fabric with which overcoats and overalls were made at that time.

Thomas Burberry, founder of the Burberry fashion house in Basingstoke, patented it in 1888. To create this new material, Burberry studied the dense texture of combed wool, smooth on the one hand, with finishing processes such as trimming and pressing, and characterized by ribbed fabric on the other side.

Breathable and waterproof, thecotton gabardine fabrichas presented itself as a revolution to create specific clothing elements against the elements, such as the famous trench coat in cotton gabardine and other fiber mixes, made famous by the likes of Humphrey Bogart. In gabardine is also made “Eisenhower jacket” a jacket model launched in the sixties, which ends just below the waist, with four pockets, pointed neck and high buttoning, which takes its name from the military jacket that was used to wear the famous general.

Gabardine, summer or winter fabric?

Depending on the fibers with which the gabardine fabric is made, the garments can be suitable for the coldest or the least rigid period of the year. Of this fabric it is generally said that it is perfect for the middle seasons, that is able to meet the style needs of those days from the uncertain weather and temperature. A soft, well-draped and well-ventilated material that does not deform when wet and resistant to wear, characteristics that make it suitable to be exposed to high percentages of humidity.

How to treat garments in gabardine? To wash and stain this fabric you can set a gentle cycle on the washing machine, but in the case of mixtures of gabardine with combed wool it is better to rely on dry cleaning to avoid shrinkage of the fabric. For the ironing phase, instead, we set the temperature of the iron on a low value, taking care not to press too much to not spoil the fabric.
