Types of Men's Fabrics:
Fabrics are divided into three types:
- 100% natural
- 100% synthetic
- A blend of natural and synthetic, with the proportions varying from one type to another.
In the following, we will learn about each type separately...
1. Natural Fabrics:
These are fabrics extracted from natural plant or animal sources, such as cotton and linen, which are the most popular types of natural plant-based fabrics. There are also silk and wool, which are extracted from animal sources. Natural fabrics are the most expensive fabrics.
Cotton is the best type of natural fabric due to its coolness, softness, light weight, and breathability. It is one of the best fabrics for summer. However, the only drawback of cotton is that it wrinkles and creases easily, so it requires special care and attention.
Linen is one of the most popular summer fabrics used in the manufacture of men's shirts and thobes. It is known for its coolness and lightness on the body. However, the disadvantages of linen are that it wrinkles and creases easily, and it has a relatively rough texture.
Wool is the best winter fabric used. Despite its rough texture, it is one of the easiest fabrics to manufacture and is always distinguished by its elegant appearance, as it does not wrinkle easily.
Silk is considered one of the most luxurious fabrics due to its elegant appearance and distinctive luster. It is considered one of the fabrics with high climate adaptability, as it maintains the body temperature in general. However, it is one of the most difficult types to clean due to its easy to be affected by external factors.
2. Synthetic Fabrics:
These are fabrics that are prepared in laboratories using special materials extracted from petroleum derivatives. Some examples include: polyester, acrylic, nylon, and others.
One of the most popular types is polyester, which is divided into:
It is the closest type to natural cotton due to its softness and coolness on the body.
It is the closest type to silk due to its extreme softness, luster, and resistance to shrinkage and wrinkling.
It is a blend of the two previous types, as it has the softness and coolness of tetron, which is similar to cotton, and it is also wrinkle-resistant and shrink-resistant like silk.
3. Blended Fabrics:
These are fabrics made from a blend of natural and synthetic fabrics in different proportions from one type to another. Thus, they carry the characteristics of both types.
