- The everyday and work thobe
- Anyone who wants a light sheen

How to judge quality by eye and touch
- The finer the yarn, the softer the feel.
- An even weave (warp and weft crossing equally) gives medium softness, as in spun-spun, filament-filament and spun-filament.
- Pull the fabric with both hands: a good weave holds together and its threads do not part.
- Ramada fabrics keep their colour and last through repeated washing and ironing.
- If a manufacturing defect shows in the fabric before it is tailored, you may exchange it or return it.
Care and ironing
- Wash in water below 30°C, without too much detergent and without any bleach.
- Rinse well to remove detergent residue.
- Do not tumble-dry, so that no pilling forms; dry in the shade.
- Iron at no more than 110°C.
