Fabric Guide

Maharishi’s latest collection continues the commitment to cultural reverence and technical innovation. This is reflected in the fabric selection of the latest collection.

House staple choices like organic cotton, sustainable hemp, and vintage military surplus are joined by performance-focused materials, reflecting the collection’s balance of tradition and function, and serving as canvases for new seasonal artworks and embroideries.

New additions include a Japanese-made noragi jacquard that mimics the patch and sew technique of repaired 'boro' fabrics, water-repellent DWR recycled nylon hemp and a Komon Indigo Cotton.

JAPANESE NORAGI JACQUARD

300 gsm · 100% Cotton

Japanese Noragi Jacquard fabric draws inspiration from traditional noragi—the hand-stitched workwear once worn by rural Japanese farmers and artisans, embodying the mottainai ethos of resourcefulness and respect for materials. Reinterpreted through modern textile innovation, this jacquard weave offers a distinctive texture, natural breathability, and lasting durability.

Its structured yet supple handfeel reflects the balance of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary functionality.

KOMON INDIGO COTTON

240 gsm · 100% Cotton

Komon Indigo Jacquard honors the depth and nuance of traditional Japanese dyeing and weaving arts. Crafted with genuine indigo dye and inspired by the komon—a fine, repeating pattern once reserved for formal kimono. The jacquard construction lends subtle texture, structure, and durability, while the natural cotton base ensures breathability and comfort.

Recycled Nylon / Hemp DWR

173 gsm · 52% Recycled Nylon, 26% Hemp, 22% Tencel

A blend of hemp, Tencel™, and nylon to create a performance textile that unites natural resilience with technical functionality. Hemp provides strength and breathability, Tencel™ adds softness and moisture management, while nylon reinforces durability and flexibility. Treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, the fabric resists light rain and surface moisture without compromising comfort or airflow.

Recycled XXL Ripstop Nylon

260gsm · 100% Nylon

10,000 Water Column

A lightweight woven fabric engineered for durability and precision performance. Thicker reinforcement yarns are interlaced at regular intervals during weaving to create a fine crosshatch structure that resists tearing and abrasion. The dense weave contributes to natural water repellency while maintaining breathability and a crip hand feel.

Organic Cotton

450gsm Sweat · 100% Cotton
190gsm Jersey · 100% Cotton

Non organic cotton covers 2.5% of the world’s cultivated land but uses nearly of the world’s pesticides (including herbicides,insecticides, and defoliants), more than any other single major crop. Organic production in cotton farming is utilised to avoid this damaging practice and to promote and enhance biodiversity and biological cycles.

The perennial use of organic cotton aims to raise awareness and contribute to the reduced use of pesticides in the production of clothing materials. Every Maharishi collection utilises sweat and jersey grown without toxic pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.

ORGANIC LIGHT COTTON POPLIN

200 gsm · 100% Cotton

Organic Light Cotton Poplin offers a crisp, breathable structure with a naturally smooth touch. Woven from certified organic cotton, it delivers a lightweight yet durable finish that allows for excellent airflow and shape retention. Its clean drape and subtle sheen convey understated refinement, while its sustainable origins reflect a mindful approach to material selection.
