Etymology
The term 'chambray' originates from the French word 'chambray', which refers to a type of fabric. This word is derived from the name of a town, Cambrai, in northern France, where the fabric was first produced. The fabric gained popularity in the 19th century and was often used in workwear due to its durable yet breathable nature. Chambray is characterized by its use of different colors in the warp and weft threads, creating a noticeable texture and appearance. Unlike denim, which uses a twill weaving pattern, chambray is woven in a plain weave, making it lighter and more comfortable for warm weather. Its versatile look has made it a staple in American casual wear, often found in shirts, dresses, and even lightweight trousers.
