The retro fabric, available on our website, is made of polyester, bright colors and prints of different patterns that evoke past eras: extremely versatile, in fact, lends itself to many possibilities of use, especially to create beautiful Carnival costumes.
The term “retrò” refers to the “old style” and, specifically, to styles ranging from the twenties to the eighties of the twentieth century. The wider connotation of the retrò style, however, comes to a return to fashion, the timeless one, made of unique pieces and iconic details.
The retro fabric made of polyester recalls the bold and colorful chintz of the ’40s and ’50s, the amazing psychedelic swirls of the ’60s and ’70s and the neon colors typical of the ’80s.
For this reason, the term retr is often associated with the term vintage: in fact, both are used interchangeably. 300 / 2000 à é è ì î ó ò ù Vintage, in fact, refers to objects that actually go back to a certain period of time, while retro refers to the elements associated with the ethics of design of a certain period, regardless of whether they were actually produced during that period.
The retrò fabric is therefore at the center of a wider aesthetic and follows the popularity of nostalgia, in which houses and fashion receive a vintage treatment so as to seem transported in previous decades.

Gabardine fabric: what is it and how to use it?
The gabardine or gabardina fabric is a real jewel of the textile industry. A fabric that stands out for its particular beauty, both in its initial and raw version and in the final stage of processing, when the textile element is transformed into a garment made in detail.
Manifattura Foderami Cimmino leads us to the discovery of the gabardine fabric, refined and versatile, and explains the many possible uses for this renowned fabric!
Gabardine: refined, compact and very resistant fabric
The gabardine fabric responds to the request of a garment suitable for mid-seasons, with soft colors and extremely elegant appearance. From a purely technical point of view it is defined as a medium-weight combed yarn and a dry hand in solid colour, with batavia armour and dominant warp. Relatively waterproof to air and water, it appears very closed and compact, crossed by an original diagonal stripe. A quality gabardine fabric is recognized for its thin ribs.
There are two types of gabardine, that of combed wool, or cotton gabardine fabric. Both the wool and cotton gabardine looks like a very elegant and very resistant fabric: thanks to its compactness it is used in the field of quality tailoring for the creation of tailored clothes for men and women with clean and simple lines, trousers, jackets, work uniforms, coats and trenches.
History of Gabardine fabric: from the Renaissance to the invention of Burberry
Where does gabardine tissue originate from? The medieval gabardine was a wide and long garment that was usually used over trousers and shirt, as further protection from the cold and tied around the waist. During the Renaissance in France gabardine was the name given to a popular wool cloak, derived from the Spanish word “gabardina” which indicated the tunic of the workers. So the term went on to indicate the resistant and warm fabric with which overcoats and overalls were made at that time.
Thomas Burberry, founder of the Burberry fashion house in Basingstoke, patented it in 1888. To create this new material, Burberry studied the dense texture of combed wool, smooth on the one hand, with finishing processes such as trimming and pressing, and characterized by ribbed fabric on the other side.
Breathable and waterproof, thecotton gabardine fabrichas presented itself as a revolution to create specific clothing elements against the elements, such as the famous trench coat in cotton gabardine and other fiber mixes, made famous by the likes of Humphrey Bogart. In gabardine is also made “Eisenhower jacket” a jacket model launched in the sixties, which ends just below the waist, with four pockets, pointed neck and high buttoning, which takes its name from the military jacket that was used to wear the famous general.
Gabardine, summer or winter fabric?
Depending on the fibers with which the gabardine fabric is made, the garments can be suitable for the coldest or the least rigid period of the year. Of this fabric it is generally said that it is perfect for the middle seasons, that is able to meet the style needs of those days from the uncertain weather and temperature. A soft, well-draped and well-ventilated material that does not deform when wet and resistant to wear, characteristics that make it suitable to be exposed to high percentages of humidity.
How to treat garments in gabardine? To wash and stain this fabric you can set a gentle cycle on the washing machine, but in the case of mixtures of gabardine with combed wool it is better to rely on dry cleaning to avoid shrinkage of the fabric. For the ironing phase, instead, we set the temperature of the iron on a low value, taking care not to press too much to not spoil the fabric.

What is the cady fabric? Characteristics and uses
Among the many fabrics used for women’s clothing stands out the cady, with its melodious name and refined appearance. Today Manufacture Lining Cimmino leads us to the discovery of cady fabric, particularly suitable for the realization of magnificent wedding dresses.
The name of this fabric comes from the city of Cadiz in Spain, the place from which its origins derive. The cady is a double-faced fabric consisting of a double warp with a high density of threads, while the weft is presented in combed frizz with several garments. On the one hand it appears rough and rough, on the other shiny and uniform.
The cady has always been used in the field of clothing, but in ancient times it was used mainly in the religious field to tunics and vestmentsthat were to appear as sacred vestments and of some importance, but was also widely used to make large palandrane with long sleeves, lined with fur, which were worn as cloaks of the richest people, belonging to the social classes of the nobility and the upper bourgeoisie.
Types of cady fabric
The cady fabric is available in different types: you can find the cady canvas or the cady satin, the cady wool or the cady silk, the cady cotton or the cady raion viscose. The silk cady is the most valuable and is used especially for evening dresses. It is particularly loved for its perfect fall and is presented in various weights and shades of color: in the variant white or ivory is used to make wedding dresses, while in the black version it represents the starting point for the creation of sheaths from the sliding line. In its infinite shades is the favorite fabric for the realization of draped dresses, with drip necklines and special cuts.
Cady fabric: what is it used for?
The cady is among the precious fabrics chosen for wedding dresses, in particular for the simple and essential models, such as the one worn by Meghan Markle. The wife of Prince Harry has opted for a minimal wedding dress characterized by the elegant boat neckline and three-quarter sleeves made of double-link silk cady: the fabric “shiny opaque” has managed to enhance the shade of pure white much desired by the protagonist of the wedding.
The biased cut gives the cady fabric for wedding dress a special elasticity, creating a snug effect that is much loved by brides who have chosen a simple ceremony, but chic, and they do not want to give up a touch of sensuality on the most important day of their life.
The cady fabric is also used to give shape to formal dresses, elegant and refined, designed for different occasions and special events to attend. This kind of clothes is asked for the maximum fit, an embrace of comfort and aesthetics: the movements must be fluid and precious details, to give back the image of value that you expect from a dress chosen for a special evening.
Making clothes using the cady is not an easy thing: it is a recommended fabric for expert seamstresses, because it is very slippery and tends to move while sewing, for which you use needle and thin thread.
You have to be very careful about the length and tension of the stitches: if the stitches are not adjusted exactly the fabric tends to curl and not respect the desired shape.
Being a particularly delicate fabric for washing it is good to read carefully the label that accompanies it: it is preferable dry cleaning or a specific program for delicate garments. The time of ironing is also to be considered, as steam tends to curl this type of fabric.
