Thomas Mason Blue Poplin 120s Fine Bengal Stripe
Downing takes its name from the street in Westminster, and the stripes match it: single colours on white, clear and confident rather than muted. The cloth is a two-ply 120s warp against a single 70s weft, which gives it more body than a poplin that runs 120s both ways, and a slight lustre across the surface.
The stripe is narrow and evenly spaced, a fine band of blue on white. It sits a step below a bengal in width, which is where the name comes from. At 119 to 127 grams it has enough weight to hold a collar.
Often ordered with a spread or point collar. A button-down collar works as well and reads as more casual.
