Before buying the fabric do consider the thread count. It should be from 50 to 1000s. The fabric with higher thread count will be smoother, silkier and softer and also makes for durable fabric.  Here’s H.P Singh guide to best of the fabrics: 

1. Fine cotton 

If you can manage the cost of superb cotton-like Pima, Swiss or Egyptian cotton of two employ cottons with a high thread tally of something like 160 to 220 you don't have to peruse any further. Proceed to purchase that since shirts made with these fabrics will stand all trial of time and wear and make you look exquisite and smart all through. 

Cotton fabrics like Egyptian, Sea Island, or American Pima cotton – these are the best and most attractive fabric for making shirts. They are over the top expensive too. 

Out of these, Egyptian cotton is the best. American Pima comes next. In Egyptian cotton, Giza 45 is the best yet on the off chance that you need to purchase shirts made of this fabric, you will pay through your nose since it is utilized to make the most selective dress shirts on the planet.

Pima cotton broadcloth is a high caliber yet modest fabric with delicate and smooth completion – it is an in all respects prominently utilized cotton fabric for shirts. This fabric has an exceptionally fine, level ribbed surface which is alluring 

2. Poplin 

Poplin, the most prevalent shirt fabric, is a plain weave fabric which is smooth, cool and breathable with a fresh vibe. A decent quality poplin is a superfine firmly woven, top-notch fabric. It is a general most loved for making dress shirts. The fabric is delicate and smooth to the touch. 

Yet, at that point, there is another inconvenience identified with its slimness – it wrinkles. In any case, when it is newly squeezed it is as fresh and rich as you need a dress shirt to be. So considering all the extraordinary focus it has, poplin is incredible for making shirts you can wear whenever anyplace, particularly formal shirts 

3. Twill 

Twill is a fabric weave and the numerous fabrics which are made in this weave-like Herringbone and Denim and Houndstooth and Cavalry are largely exceptionally famous for making shirts. Twill weave makes the fabrics exceptionally delicate to the touch however it is heavier than cotton, silk or poplin. It is an entirely solid and solid fabric and yet it balances well on the body 

Get a firmly woven twill fabric and it will be exceptionally delicate. Mounted force twills have extremely evident weave design. You may need a progressively inconspicuous twill weave; But in certainty, the corner to corner weave of twill is appealing so you may not worry about it. Great quality Twill is marginally gleaming (again on account of the weave), simple to press, and is impervious to wrinkles. 

Chino-

Chino is a twill fabric which is lightweight; Houndstooth is a twill fabric with a check design ( with a houndstooth – canine's tooth shape) more often than not in high contrast. A herringbone twill fabric has a corner to corner stripes in a crisscross example – like the bones of a herring fish. 

You will have a decision of choosing formal twill fabric and easygoing twill fabrics – make your determination as indicated by your need. The greater part of the twill fabrics are hard wearing and strong however denim is my total top pick – best for all-season wear. It is in vogue each year. Look out for more slender, lighter denim ( not the denim utilized for making pants) – you can request shirt weight denim 

4. Material 

Nothing is more exquisite than garments made of cloth and it shows signs of improvement with age and washings. It is more inexactly woven and sheer than cotton and the most appropriate fabric for wearing in sweltering summer atmospheres 

5. Oxford fabric/Pinpoint fabric 

Both are medium weight marginally unpleasant shirt materials that are warm, breathable and truly sturdy. They are not reasonable for formal fine office wear/dressy shirts. Both the fabrics are rougher and harder and heavier than a poplin. These fabrics are increasingly reasonable for easygoing/workwear/sportswear. The oxford fabric is acclaimed for its namesake shirt, the oxford shirt, the easygoing shirt worn with a traditional neckline 

An oxford fabric and the pinpoint fabric has a similar weave – asymmetrical basketweave. Yet, there are unobtrusive contrasts between the two. The wrap of a pinpoint shirt is extremely great which is critical from a looking-decent perspective. Pinpoint is superior to oxford fabric for making formal shirts
