Gabardine Fabric Gabardine or gaberdine is a style of weave which has a fine and distinct diagonal ribs caused by the interlacing pattern of yarns. It is tightly woven twill fabric with a clear finish. It is firm and durable. Sometimes it has high sheen. Gabardine is inclined to shine with wear but it is hard to press properly. It wears extremely well.

Wool gabardine is also known for a year-round fabric for business suiting. Cotton, rayon, polyester and some blends are also used in making gabardine. However, true gabardine has a tight twill on one side and a smooth and plain looking reverse side. Gabardine has two times as many threads per inch in the warp than what is there in the weft.

The word 'Gabardine' has been taken from 'Gabardina'. Gabardina was a loose outer garment worn by Spanish pilgrims in the medieval times.
