Down jackets and cotton-padded jackets are very popular winter clothing, and their fabrics are key, determining the warmth and comfort of the clothing. Here are five key points about the production of down and cotton fabrics.
1. Fabric selection:
The fabric of down jackets is usually made of synthetic fiber materials such as nylon and polyester. These fabrics have excellent waterproof and windproof properties, which can effectively protect down fillers from moisture and wind intrusion. At the same time, it should also be breathable to avoid excess sweat breeding bacteria inside the clothes, affecting the wearer's comfort. The fabric of cotton clothing is mainly made of cotton fiber, which has good warmth and air permeability, and is suitable for warm shirts and light coats.
2. Filling selection:
Down jacket stuffing is mainly goose down or duck down, these fluff has better warmth and fluffy, can form an air layer, maintain body temperature. Duck down is relatively more economical, but goose down is of better quality and retains more heat. Cotton clothing is generally used as a chemical fiber or cotton filler, these fillers can provide a relatively light thermal effect, will not make the clothing appear too bloated.
3. Fabric treatment:
The fabrics of down and cotton jackets are usually treated with water, oil and stain resistance to prevent rain penetration and stains from being left. These treatments can form a protective film on the surface of the fabric, increasing the durability and easy cleaning of the clothing. At the same time, the fabric can also be slightly stretched, acrylic coating and other treatments to increase the strength of the fabric and tear resistance.
4. Fabric test:
During the fabric production process, a series of tests are carried out to ensure that the fabric meets the quality standards. Common test items include fabric tensile strength, tear strength, washing fastness, water resistance and so on. These tests ensure that the fabric is durable and comfortable enough to keep the garment warm at low temperatures.
5. Environmental protection and sustainability:
The production process of fabrics needs to consider environmental protection and sustainability. At present, more and more fabric manufacturers use environmentally friendly materials and production technologies to reduce the impact on the environment. Some also choose to partner with cotton farms to promote organic cotton and sustainability to reduce damage to soil and water resources.
In general, the fabric production of down and cotton jackets involves key points such as fabric selection, filler selection, fabric handling, fabric testing and environmental sustainability. Understanding these key points can help consumers better choose the right down jacket and cotton jacket to ensure its warmth and comfort. At the same time, fabric manufacturers also need to pay attention to these key points in order to provide high-quality and environmentally friendly fabric products.
