Commonly used clothing fabric knowledge
In the world of clothing, clothing fabrics are diverse and changing with each passing day. But generally speaking, high-quality and high-end fabrics mostly have the characteristics of being comfortable to wear, sweat-absorbent and breathable, draped and crisp, visually noble, and soft to the touch.
When making clothing for formal social occasions, you should choose pure cotton, pure wool, pure silk, and pure linen products. Most of the clothing made of these four pure natural texture fabrics are of higher quality. Sometimes, clothing made of pure leather is also allowed.

Its advantages are extremely high strength, moisture absorption, thermal conductivity, and excellent air permeability. Its disadvantage is that it is not very comfortable to wear and its appearance is rough and stiff.
