Peter Millar believes that once you know what makes up a great garment, you will appreciate the quality of their attire even more. To help guide you, they've provided a list of sartorial terms that you may find useful in knowing what goes into their products.

Cashmere: Soft, fine wool from a Cashmere goat.  This wool is typically used in sweaters and overcoats.
 
Coat Length: The measurement from the collar seam under the center of the back of the neck of a coat’s collar, down to the center bottom of the coat’s hem.
 
Twill: A diagonal pattern in the surface texture of cotton fabric. This effect created by the warp and weft yarns being woven and crossed.
 
Count System: The scaled used to evaluate wool quality.  The wool receives a grade, merino typically ranging from the 80’s or higher.  Finer yarns receive a higher grade number, while thicker yarns receive lower grade numbers.

Flannel: A plain or twill loosely woven cloth with a slightly napped surface concealing the weave.
 
French Placket: A turn back placket on the center of a woven shirt. During construction the front panel fabric is folded over to the inside of the garment.

Garment-Dyed: The process of dyeing a garment after it has been cut and sewn.
 
Garment-Wash: The process of washing a garment to achieve a broken-in or worn effect.
 
Gauge: The knitting measurement which refers to the width of a stitch. A higher gauge corresponds to a finer knit.
