100% cotton shirt fabric
100% cotton shirt fabric is believed to be favored by many people and is also the most likely choice in daily life. Because of the skin-friendly properties of pure cotton fabric, it has a good sense of comfort when wearing it, and its texture is soft and absorbs sweat. Many premium shirts are also made from this fabric and are available for both men and women. However, this kind of fabric also has corresponding disadvantages, that is, it is easy to wrinkle and deform when worn. If the clothes are dyed, special methods must be used to remove them.
Real silk for shirt fabrics
Real silk fabric is also the top grade among shirt fabrics, generally refers to silk, which is divided into mulberry silk , tussah silk, castor silk, cassava silk and many other kinds. There are many high-quality silk shirt styles on the market, which requires buyers to have rich knowledge to identify them. In fact, it is not difficult. Generally, the authenticity can be determined through simple methods: (1) Handle method: the feel of silk fabrics It is soft and feels smooth and comfortable when close to the skin; (2) Visual inspection method: the silk fabric has a pearl-like luster, and the luster it emits is soft; (3) Burning method: When the silk is burned, there will be a smell of burnt feathers, which is difficult to continue. If it burns, it will self-extinguish. By identifying through these methods, you can buy a truly comfortable silk shirt.
Polyester-cotton blended shirt fabric
This kind of shirt fabric is made by mixing cotton and chemical fiber in a certain proportion, so it integrates cotton and chemical fiber Their respective advantages are that they are not prone to wrinkles and deformation, and yellowing of the shirt rarely occurs. However, the overall texture will be harder when worn, and it is not as comfortable to wear as pure cotton.
Wool for shirt fabrics
Wool fabric is a well-known high-quality fabric. It not only has good warmth retention and visual effects, but is also quite comfortable to wear. . Also in recent years, wool has been applied to shirt fabrics. Previously, it was used to make suits, coats, etc. The maintenance of this kind of fabric is more troublesome than pure cotton and silk. It is not only easy to wrinkle and deform, but also easy to shrink during washing and easy to be moth-eaten during storage. Therefore, it is generally more suitable to wear it in winter.
How to identify the quality of shirts
Shirts have therefore become synonymous with high-end shirts. To this day, all styles of dress shirts still use French shirt folded sleeves, which is an example of the French shirt’s reputation for elegance.
Unlike suits, shirts are tailored and do not necessarily have to be tailor-made, unless the body shape is really special, such as a particularly large waist or a particularly fat figure. The fit of ordinary mid-to-low-end shirts mainly depends on the collar circumference and sleeve length, so there is often only one number on the style. In addition to high-end shirts, they also pay attention to the fit of the waist. Therefore, good shirt brands generally have more than three styles, which are suitable for fatter, standard, thinner and other body shapes. Each style adopts different cutting and opening designs. , Slim-fit models cannot be waisted by simple methods such as pleating, because that is neither beautiful nor in line with the tailoring requirements of high-end shirts.
Materials
There are multiple standards for measuring fabrics. It is confusing to only use count as the main parameter. The focus of good fabrics lies in the performance of various characteristics such as wearing life, washing life, visual appearance, and skin feel. These characteristics are supported by raw material characteristics, structural design, weaving level, finishing technology, etc. The indicator of count can only It has an impact on the characteristics of the raw materials, and the characteristics of the raw materials are also affected by various indicators such as the number of strands and the gram weight, and cannot be judged by the number of branches alone. For example, my country’s Xinjiang long-staple cotton is also one of the best raw materials for high-count fabrics. However, Xinjiang high-count cotton is inferior to Egyptian cotton internationally.
Cotton), Sea Island cotton and American Pima cotton
Cotton) cannot be compared, and the main factors are limited by technology and development. Even if we only use the count as the measurement index, the fabric count also has the difference between single and double strands, as well as the difference between warp and weft.
To be too rigid in various fabric indicators is complicated and boring for consumers, so we talk about the issue of materials from the perspective of ordinary customers. Fabric is the hard cost component of the shirt. In this regard, please believe in the principle of “you get what you pay for”. It is impossible to buy a sea-island cotton shirt with fabrics that are more expensive than silver for two to three hundred yuan, and direct sales at the lowest cost will never be able to do so. It is worth mentioning the Oxford fabric, which was discovered and promoted by Oxford University students in the early 20th century in order to resist the luxurious and glitzy aristocratic atmosphere. At present, many shirts sold directly in China use coarse oxford fabrics. This kind of coarse oxford fabrics has a look and feel that is closer to fine denim. The production cost is low and the texture of the fabrics is coarse. It appropriately reflects the British academic culture during the period. The highly praised civilian style is not consistent with the lifestyle of the upper class and mainstream business concepts, and is rarely used in high-end shirts. What can really be used to make high-end shirt fabrics is high-count fine oxford yarn with extremely fine texture. This kind of fine oxford yarn has higher raw material quality requirements, and has a completely different look and feel from thicker oxford yarn. Judging from the current consumption trends at home and abroad, yarn-dyed pure cotton fabrics are widely used in high-end shirts due to their performance and economic scale. We should know more about them. Others such as silk, linen, poplinWest, but it is not something that everyone wants. Let’s analyze the price structure of high-end men’s clothing: a high-end men’s clothing is sold through department stores. The mall generally takes 40% of the selling price. The dealer also needs to pay entry fees, decoration fees, festival promotion fees, public relations fees, etc. Various expenses and withholding of your own profits. In this way, you paid 1,800 yuan to buy a shirt. How much of it was actually paid for the product itself? Maybe only 500-600 in the end
Yuan was paid to the brand owner, of which 300 Yuan was actually paid for the brand premium value rather than the product quality value.
