polyamide (nylon) rib knit stretch
synthetic fibre with high durability, quick drying right/right product, equal in- and outside, often used marks stretchable fabrics including a share of certain
for collar and cuffs, high elasticity, low material weight, materials like for example elastane or Lycra®
difference between 1x1 rib (alternately knitted left and right)
polycotton and 2x2 rib (alternately 2 left and 2 right stitches)
mix of cotton and polyester, to use benefits of both materials Teflon®
used for coatings, water and dirt repellent, not printable
ring-spun cotton
polyester softer, finer, smoother and more shiny than open end yarn,
most common synthetic fibre, characteristics: tensile terry cloth
optimal printability
strength, fineness, good dimensional stability, low moisture cotton fabric typically used for towels, small loops on one or
absorption, good wash behaviour, excellent light resistance both sides, very soft, bulky and absorbent material
rip stop
typical chequered structure due to a special weaving
polyester pongee (T)PU coating
technique, mostly made of nylon, characteristics: particular
fabric made from polyester filaments, thin, sleek fabric, tear-resistant and strong through an inside coating the material gets breathable and
formerly made from silk water repellent or even waterproof
semi combed cotton
poplin instead of 3 combing processings there is only one, result is tubular construction
plain-weave fabric, breathable, durable, smooth, lightweight if not specified differently, all models have side seams to
a semi-finished product between carded (not combed) and
and densely woven material, one of the most common fabrics adapt the fit, items without side seams are declared as
combed cotton
for shirts and blouses tubular construction
set-in sleeves
preshrunk twill
straight set sleeves
procedure to reduce shrinkage after washing (permitted twill weave fabric, pattern of diagonal parallel ribs, most
tolerances) common use in denim fabrics, durable fabric with a warm and
single jersey soft touch
fine knitted, stretchy, breathable material, inside and outside
raglan sleeves different (left/right loops), material of most t-shirts
diagonale seams course starting from the collar viscose (rayon)
chemical fibre made from a natural basic material (cellulose),
single ply terry often referred to as artifical silk, eudermic, not stretchable,
recycled cotton
made of fine single yarns, fine loops get twisted and strong wrinkling, flowing fabric, very even surface, perfect
old textiles or textile remnants are shredded and spun into connected, softer and more absorbent fabric, more resistant for dyeing and printing
new fibres
against pulling out threads
windproof
recycled polyester (= rPET) softshell jackets keeps the wind completely out, windproof products are
Plastic bottles and other plastic waste are shredded and
functional jackets, usually made of 2 or 3 layers (with not always waterproof, but waterproof articles are always
melted down in order to produce new polyester fibers from membrane), inside material (e.g. microfleece) provides iso- windproof, materials that allow a maximum of 5 liters of air
them, recycling greatly reduces water consumption, CO2 lation and transports the moisture away from skin, if existing, per second through one square meter of fabric are called
emissions and waste, but the use of different plastic products
the membrane has windproof and breathable function, windproof, windproof materials are often uncomfortable to
leads to difficulties in the dyeing process and rPET often outside is made of water repellent material, that transports wear due to the lack of breathability during activity
requires repeated dyeing processes, in addition the material
moisture to the outside, softshell jackets without membrane
is not biodegradable and releases microplastics into the are more breathable, jackets with membrane are more wind
environment, for these reasons experts disagree about the and rain proof
