Classification and Summary of Apparel Fabrics

1. Cotton strong material Cotton fabric refers to a fabric made of cotton fiber as raw material. Cotton fabric has become one of the most commonly used clothing materials because of its excellent wearing performance. It is the most popular popular fabric. Cotton fabric has good heat retention and water absorption. It has the characteristics of strong resistance, wear resistance and washability, softness and comfort, but poor elasticity and large shrinkage. Cotton fabrics are brighter in color and are mostly used in summer clothes, casual wear, underwear, sportswear, etc. There are many kinds of cotton fabrics, commonly used are plain weave, poplin, etc.; twill khaki, serge, gabardine; satin straight satin; Corduroy; yarn-woven Bali yarn, seersucker, etc. At present, with the development of the textile industry, there are more and more types of other fabrics interwoven with cotton blends, such as cotton and linen fabrics, silk cotton fabrics, Lycra cotton and so on. Lycra cotton has been more and more widely used in clothing in recent years. It has the excellent properties of cotton, and at the same time is elastic, which is convenient for activities and has good plasticity. Different cotton fabrics have different stylistic characteristics and have different ranges of adaptation. For example, plain cloth and fine woven cloth have a tight, delicate and smooth texture; Oxford cloth, coarse cloth and twill have a thick and rough texture with strong three-dimensional effect; ; Leno pure cotton mesh fabric is light, breathable, cool and comfortable; velveteen has a smooth and rich appearance, soft luster, soft hand feeling and no wrinkle; corduroy has a rough appearance and clear lines. 2. Silk fabrics Silk fabrics refer to fabrics woven from silk, including mulberry silk fabrics and tussah silk fabrics. Tussah silk fabrics are lighter in color, rough in appearance, soft but not smooth; mulberry silk fabrics are fine and smooth, suitable for high-end clothing and evening dresses.

Wool fabric Wool fabric is a fabric made of fibers obtained from animals as raw materials. It has good warmth retention and stretchability, good hygroscopicity, not easy to wrinkle, and the color is dark and subtle, giving people solemnity and generosity. , elegant feeling, mostly used in more formal occasions such as spring and autumn clothes, professional wear and so on. The pure wool fabric has a soft and natural luster, soft feel and elasticity, not easy to heat up, good hygroscopicity, and has good thermal performance. The raw materials are mainly sheep wool, such as gabardine, lady's, saffron, flannel. Worsted wool has stiffness, moisture absorption and good breathability, and is dry and comfortable to wear in summer, such as varnish and serge. The woolen wool fabric has a thick and full hand, with different textures on the front and back, and has a sense of volume, such as tweed. 4. Hemp fabric Hemp fabric is a fabric woven from hemp plant fibers. Hemp fabric has the characteristics of water absorption, wrinkle resistance and slight luster. It feels cool, crisp, durable and easy to wash, beautiful in texture, subtle in style, and light in color, which can profoundly express the aesthetic needs of modern people who are pursuing a return to nature and a casual nature. 5. Knitted fabric Knitted fabric is a kind of fabric made of one or several yarns bent into coils along the weft or warp direction, and then the coils are interlaced with each other. It is characterized by being elastic, soft and comfortable to wear. Cotton knitted fabrics are soft to the touch, thick and warm, and have good air permeability, hygroscopicity and elasticity, but are easy to curl and fall off, and are suitable for underwear and T-shirts. The rib needle strength has clear stripes and greater lateral elasticity. Polyester-covered cotton knitted fabrics have different fiber compositions on the front and back. In my opinion, they are stiff, wrinkle-resistant, soft on the inner layer, and absorbent and breathable. The lace knitted fabric has mesh, light texture, distinct colors and clear layers. The terry knitted fabric is soft to the touch, has good moisture absorption and warmth retention, has mesh, is easy to take off, and has various patterns and changes. The garments made of knitted fabrics are free and natural, with smooth lines, and with their own texture effects such as lines and meshes, the right-of-use garments are unique and attractive. 6. Fur and Leather Fabrics Fur and leather are precious clothing fabrics. Generally, the tanned animal skin is called fur, and the glossy or veneer that has undergone plus treatment is called leather. Fur is an ideal material for imitation cold clothing, because of its warmth, lightness, durability, and luxurious qualities. After dyeing, leather can get a variety of appearance styles, which are very popular among people. In recent years, fur and leather clothing has become the mainstream of the Margin, and clothing is divided into natural fur leather and artificial fur leather.
