Nowadays, we know more and more about clothes, and sometimes we pay attention to the fabric of clothes when buying clothes. A T-shirt of the right fabric can keep you cool all summer long. In fact, among T-shirts, most of the fabrics of men’s and women’s T-shirts are the same. Let’s talk about some common T-shirt fabrics on the market. I hope it will be helpful to you when buying clothes.
1. Cotton
Cotton is a commonly used T-shirt fabric, which is comfortable, skin-friendly, breathable, hygroscopic, and environmentally friendly. It is divided into mercerized cotton, sugared cotton, cotton + cashmere, cotton + Lycra (high-quality spandex), cotton + nylon, cotton polyester and other textures.
2. Tencel is wood cellulose fiber, blended with wool, polyester or other materials, suitable for flat knitting T-shirt products. The advantage is that it feels good and drape well; the disadvantage is that it is easy to fluff and has poor strength.
3. Aodao cotton is cellulose acetate fiber. When blended with Tencel, it feels smoother. Suitable for flat knitting T-shirt products. The advantage is that it feels good and drape well; the disadvantage is that it is easy to fluff and has poor strength.
4. Modal, bamboo fiber, soy fiber and other cellulose fibers
Like Tencel and Aoshima cotton, it is a regenerated cellulose fiber and is suitable for flat knitting T-shirt products. The advantage is that it feels good and drape well; the disadvantage is that it is easy to fluff, easy to deform, and has poor strength.
5. 100% polyester has the advantages of good color sense, strong wrinkle resistance and not easy to deform. The disadvantage is poor breathability and poor sweat absorption. Generally suitable for sports T-shirts.
6. Nylon (polyamide)
Nylon is a highly breathable variety among chemical fibers, but it is still worse than pure cotton. It is characterized by smooth feel and good color sense. Generally, it needs to go through fake knitting process before it can be used on T-shirt products.
A good T-shirt fabric can keep you cool all summer. Correctly analyzing and identifying fabric performance and applying it to clothing design accurately and reasonably is the basic knowledge that every designer needs to master. Otherwise, incorrect fabric identification may lead to the failure of the entire garment. There are problems in design, production, wearing or washing. The identification of clothing fabrics includes raw material identification, appearance feature identification and appearance quality identification of clothing fabrics.
