Basic knowledge of fabrics

Fabric can not only interpret the style and characteristics of clothing, but also directly affect the color of clothing. I have sorted out the relevant contents, welcome to appreciate and learn from them.

1. Fabric is mainly divided into;

From another dimension, non-woven fabrics and textile fabrics can be divided into natural fabrics and unnatural fabrics. From a more detailed point of view,

natural

A. Plant fibers, such as cotton, hemp and fruit fibers

B. animal fibers, such as wool, hairless and silk.

C. Mineral fibers such as asbestos

factitious

A regenerated fibers, such as viscose, acetate fiber, Tencel, modal, lyocell, bamboo fiber, etc.

B synthetic fibers, such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, spandex, lycra, etc.

C. inorganic fibers, such as glass fibers and metal fibers.

2. From the perspective of textile processing;

Woven: the fabric is stable in structure, inelastic (except for fabrics containing elastic fibers), flat in surface, durable and firm in appearance. Simply put, it is not close to the body, and you won't see it when you scratch it.

Knitting: the fabric is elastic, soft to the touch, comfortable and breathable, and not easy to fall off. Simply put, it is getting bigger and bigger. The hanging is broken, pull a hole.

Personally, the grade is: (regardless of printing and dyeing process)

Low-grade fabric: ordinary chemical fiber

Ordinary fabric: ordinary cotton and linen.

Intermediate fabrics: Lycra, Tencel and other intermediate chemical fiber fabrics, natural and blended fabrics, tussah silk, long-staple cotton, ordinary leather and so on.

High-grade fabrics: wool, mulberry silk, (fabric), calf leather, lambskin and other high-grade leather, fox skin and other ordinary fur.

Top fabrics: sheep (camel hair), heavy mulberry silk fabrics, precious leather, mink and other high-grade furs.

Personally summarize the shortcomings of some common fabrics;

Cotton: below ordinary long-staple cotton, it will become hard after repeated washing.

Colored cotton: only brown and green.

Hemp: no wrinkle, easy to fade, easy to shrink.

Ordinary silk: easy to shrink, acid-resistant and sun-resistant.

Wool (velvet: insect-prone.

Man-made cotton: easy to stick to the body.

Modal: Pilling and wrinkling are easy.

Tencel: The hot and humid environment becomes hard.

Ice silk: easy to fall off and harden.

Bamboo fiber: perishable

3. From the perspective of consumption and commerce;

The difference between good fabrics and ordinary fabrics is not so obvious, and even clothes with ordinary fabrics may be more expensive than those with good fabrics. However, in the view of traditional luxury goods industry, any unnatural fabric can't be put on a summer mat. Therefore, the subject's answer is that unless it is 100% natural fiber fabric, any fabric containing chemical fiber is not very good. This is just like in the traditional jewelry industry, all semi-precious stones (including tourmaline and aquamarine) can't be served because they are "semi-precious stones".

So why add 2% other chemical fibers to the pure cotton fabric?

It is to make up for some shortcomings of pure cotton fabrics. This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can be enjoyed at a low price, or it can reach almost 80% of the feeling of high-quality fabrics, or it can solve some small problems in daily wear. The downside is that once you start to accept the taste, it will gradually deteriorate. For example, 24K gold, as we all know, keeps its value, but it is soft. If you change to 18K gold, it will be very hard, everyone will be happy, but it is also worthless. Old people who really wear gold ornaments will not sell them unless they are 999 gold.

The future is indeed a blended world, but this only refers to business, not to taste. Luxury is something that only a few people can use. Once popular, its gold content will gradually decrease, such as LV.

The United States is such an example of the decline in fashion taste. Many Americans will take it for granted that jeans pullovers are enough for formal clothes, because that's how Jobs wore them, but they don't know that when Jobs went to the White House, he was still in a suit and tie, and the public image he showed you was definitely not his complete image. Even his pullover is Issey Miyake's worsted wool, and the $65,438+075 on St. Croix is just an imitation.

This is why Bush's behavior is always a joke in Europe. If you don't want to lose everyone, please don't follow the crowd. Everyone dresses like this, which is not the reason why you dress like this. Glass ceiling is a hidden rule. For example, as mentioned in Style, the upper class can detect "a little polyester in an Oxford shirt" because it is a sad symbol of the middle class.

The official PreppyHandbook also praised caroline kennedy, the daughter of President Kennedy-"Strictly speaking, she is more preppy than her mother in clothes and manners"-because "during the four years in Harvard Square, no unnatural fibers approached her body.

Tencel, modal, lyocell and bamboo fiber are all chemical fibers, not natural fibers.

Of course, fabrics blended with natural fabrics also belong to the ranks of good fabrics, such as silk cashmere blending.

4. The price knitting of fabrics cannot be based on a single fabric;

For example, designers splicing genuine leather and silk, even if the two fabrics are not expensive, they will be very expensive together, because the physical characteristics of the two fabrics are completely different, and how to merge them is a very high knowledge. For example, this style is simple, but no one dares to underestimate this dress.
