The Guide to Heather Fabrics
What’s a heather fabric?
In short, a heather fabric is made of a mixture of fibers. This gives the fabric a speckled look. For example, if you look closely at our heather charcoal henleys, you’ll notice specks of white mixed in with the charcoal. This is because it’s made of 50% cotton / 50% polyester. This blend is just one of the many variations a heather fabric can be comprised of.
