Chemical fiber fabrics

Nylon: moisture absorption and wear resistance, good elasticity, easy to deform and wrinkle, no pilling

Spandex: very elastic, poor in strength and moisture absorption, easy to break threads, this material was used in the previous black pants

Polyester: The big brother in the chemical fiber industry, the “really good” that was once popular is it, and now it is almost eliminated

Acrylic: commonly known as artificial wool, it is more elastic and warmer than wool It’s sticky, not suitable for close-fitting

Plush fabric

Cashmere: textured, warm, comfortable and breathable, the disadvantage is that it loves static electricity and has a short service life

Wool: fine and soft, suitable for close-fitting clothing, with high drape texture, the disadvantage is that it will cause a felting reaction after wearing it for a long time

Ps: The difference between cashmere and wool

“Cashmere” is a layer of wool that [goat] grows on the skin surface to resist the cold wind in winter, and gradually falls off in spring, and is collected with a comb

“Wool” is the hair on the body of [sheep], shaved directly

The warmth of cashmere is 1.5 to 2 times that of wool

The output of wool is far greater than that of cashmere

Therefore, the price of cashmere is also much higher than that of wool.

Mohair: Angora goat hair, the output is very low, it is a luxury material, the hundreds of pieces on the market are definitely not real/pure mohair, the main goods are basically imitations of acrylic fibers

Camel hair: also known as camel hair, which refers to the hair on the Bactrian camel. It has good heat retention and lower cost than down.
