Etymology

The word 'gaberdine' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the Arabic word 'qabad' which means 'a form of robe' or the Spanish term 'gabardina' referring to a kind of cloak. Initially, this fabric was associated with the long outer garments worn by European travelers and has evolved through time to denote the close-weave, smooth-textured cloth we recognize today. Its practical qualities, such as breathability and rain resistance, made it popular in various forms of clothing, particularly in the 20th century with the rise of tailored clothing and outerwear. The fabric's development was influenced by advances in textile manufacturing, leading to its blend with other materials like polyester for improved performance. Gaberdine became emblematic of craftsmanship in men's and women's fashion alike.
