النسيج الفاخر المصنوع من الخيوط الدقيقة من نوعيات 170 و200
Explanation:
You will often see dress shirt fabric described numerically as 50's, 80's, 100's, 120s, 140s, 160s, etc. This number refers to the thickness of the yarn: the lower the number, the thicker the yarn; the higher the number, the finer the yarn. 120's 140's 160's two-ply cottons are the most luxurious (and expensive) dress shirt fabrics.
