Drill is a strong, durable cotton fabric with a strong bias (diagonal) in the weave. It can be used unbleached, although it is more often bleached, or dyed.
The lighter weights are used in clothing items such as shirts, safari jackets, blouses, play- and martial-arts wear. The heavier weights were often used in corsets
Khaki drill is made into uniforms. Boatsail drill is unbleached and is made into sails for sailing craft and drill is also made into pocket linings. Cotton drill is made of 100% cotton and is widely used for making cooks' uniforms (chefs' wear) because it is thick enough to protect the wearer from heat. TC drill (Tetron/cotton) is a mixture of cotton and polyester and is also very common for making uniforms, such as workers' shirts and kitchen uniforms.
100% cotton drill is much more cooling and comfortable to the touch than TC Drill but its weakness is that it can shrink if its finish has not been handled well.
