Clothing fabric classification

In the world of clothing, the fabrics of clothing are varied and changing with each passing day. But generally speaking, high-quality and high-end fabrics have the characteristics of comfortable wearing, sweat-absorbing and breathable, stiff drape, noble vision, and soft touch.

Modern clothing used in formal social occasions mostly use high-quality blended fabrics. However, natural fabrics such as pure cotton, pure wool, pure silk, and pure linen have been reduced to general fabrics due to the shortcomings of natural fabrics such as easy wrinkle and easy deformation, and are less used as high-end clothing materials. Blended fabrics have the characteristics of natural fabrics that absorb perspiration, breathability, softness and comfort, and absorb the advantages of chemical fiber fabrics that are strong and durable, draped and stiff, with good luster and bright colors. A large number of high-end and high-quality blended fabrics are developed every year. Sometimes, wearing clothing made of pure leather is also allowed. General clothing fabrics are divided into two major series:

Woven fabrics: Mainly used for outer garments and shirts.

Knitted fabrics: clothing underwear and sports series clothing, but due to the development of technology, knitted fabrics have also developed thick and stiff, gradually making knitted underwear externalized, and knitted fabric woven methods have become a supplement to outerwear.

With the improvement of the quality of life of modern people, they also have higher and higher requirements for their own dressing. They are no longer limited to the shape and style of clothing, but pay more attention to whether the fabric of the clothing is comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Data from the Zhiyan Data Research Center shows that the rise in cotton prices has led to an increase in the cost of the entire production chain, and a series of products in the production chain have to increase prices. It is precisely this giving birth to new opportunities for fabrics in the apparel industry. The upgrading of cotton substitutes for corn fiber, bamboo fiber, and new types. Plant hemp fibers are on the stage. These bio-based fabrics save more water and pesticides than cotton in the production process, and meet the needs of consumers and the whole society for low-carbon and environmental protection.

Clothing processed from these natural animal and plant materials are called "ecological clothing", such as cotton, linen, silk wool, leather and other new low-carbon environmentally friendly fabrics. They use natural animals and plants as raw materials and have been tested for viruses. symbols of. "Combined with today's "environmental style" and the inner needs of modern people to return to innocence, "ecological clothing" is gradually becoming a new trend in the fashion field. They not only reflect the environmental protection awareness of color design, but also from fabrics to buttons, zippers and other accessories It also uses non-polluting natural raw materials; from raw material production to processing, it is completely from the perspective of protecting the ecological environment, avoiding the use of chemical printing and dyeing raw materials and resins that damage the environment.

The concept of ecological clothing and green clothing is basically the same, but there are also slight differences: "green clothing" is mainly green textiles and ecological clothing. The "green textiles" that have been developed and marketed internationally generally have various functions such as deodorization, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-ultraviolet, anti-radiation, and humidification. This type of product is still in the initial stage in my country, and the main products that have been launched are mainly underwear. However, because this type of textile has specific functions that are beneficial to human health, it is more popular with consumers.

It can be seen from the above that whether designing clothing starts from fabrics or styles, it not only considers whether it is comfortable and fashionable, but more importantly, it is combined with environmental protection. Low-carbon environmental protection is the future development trend of clothing fabrics.
