What is the best fabric for making clothes now?

To answer this question, let's first give you some popular science about the common clothes and fabrics on the market:

1, acetate fiber cloth

A silky fabric made of plant fibers, usually wood pulp. Often used as the lining of coats and dresses, it feels light and soft. Be very careful when washing, because acetic acid cloth products are easy to shrink and wrinkle, so it is best to dry clean them.

2. Acrylic fiber

Dupont first extracted artificial textiles from petroleum in 1950. Usually used for sweaters, but not as warm as wool. Insects, stains, fading and wrinkling should be prevented. Add a fabric softener to warm water and wash it by machine or hand.

3. Bamboo fiber

Soft natural bamboo fiber can effectively sterilize and deodorize, and has excellent water absorption and breathability. Can be made into socks, underwear and casual clothes. You can machine wash and dry safely.

4. Imitation lamb skin

Sheepskin imitation (the word means curly in French) is a classic slub fabric, which is made by winding at least two different yarns. This fabric is widely used in women's wear, the most famous of which is Chanel style. Because almost all suits are lined, they should be professionally dry-cleaned.

5. Brocade

A thick fabric with raised patterns and patterns, usually made of gold or silver thread. A typical garment using this fabric is China Qipao. In ancient times, brocade was made of silk, but in modern times, the raw materials of brocade are mostly synthetic. Silk brocade can be safely washed by hand, synthetic brocade is easy to open when rubbed, and dry cleaning is the safest.

6, camel hair

This is a thick, warm and luxurious fabric like cashmere. It is made of camel hair and is very soft. It is usually made into a coat. A lined camel hair coat is best dry-cleaned.

7.canvas

This is a very durable plain fabric, usually made of cotton or flax, and is used for the uppers of sails, backpacks and sports shoes. Strong and durable, can be washed repeatedly and dried at high temperature.

8. cashmere

A very light and warm natural fiber made from the short hair of Kashmir fine-haired goats. Because of the friction when wearing, the fabric is easy to pilling, but it can be easily removed with a hairball razor or a disposable razor. When washing, you can add a little fabric softener to help the fabric fibers keep elastic.

9.chiffon

A lightweight silk fabric with high transparency and slightly rough texture. It is easy to scratch, and it needs light pressure to keep its shape when washing by hand.

10, cotton cloth

A strong natural fiber from cotton, breathable and comfortable, can be machine washed.

1 1, crepe de chine

A fabric that looks like satin but is very heavy, with wrinkled texture on one side and smooth and shiny on the other. It is usually used for formal long dresses, so it looks very elegant and beautiful when hanging down. In order to protect its color, it is best to dry clean it.

12, denim

Denim is a kind of heavy and strong twill cotton fabric, which is interwoven with two yarns of different colors and finally shows a blue tone. High-grade denim should be washed with cold water and dried naturally to prevent shrinkage or fading. Ordinary denim can be washed by machine and dried by dryer.

13, flax

A loose, breathable and durable fabric. Raw materials come from flax, which is suitable for tropical areas. Easy to wrinkle, machine washing, hand washing, natural air drying can also be done. Flatten the linen while it is still wet to ensure that the clothes are not deformed. Lined linen clothes should be dry-cleaned to ensure that the lining does not shrink or tilt.

There are too many fabrics, such as microfiber, nylon, organza, polyester, rayon, satin, seersucker, twill, silk, spandex, suit material, tulle, tweed, velvet, velvet, wool and so on.

The introduction of so many fabrics shows that there is no best answer to the best fabric for making clothes. Different fabrics have different characteristics and are suitable for making different clothes and wearing them on different occasions.

Before answering the question, let me talk about my own personal dressing experience.

When I was young, I didn't care about fabrics when I wore clothes. As long as the style and color suit me, I can control any fabric, and my body will not feel uncomfortable and airtight. At that time, the company had a colleague's sister who was five years older than me. She said that she was very picky about fabrics when she wore clothes. A lot of fabrics make her feel uncomfortable after wearing them, which leads her to want to buy clothes but often can't buy them. At that time, I thought she was very hypocritical.

As I get older, I am more and more picky about the fabric of my clothes. This picky is not about how high-grade or beautiful the fabric is, but about the comfort of the fabric covering me, especially the breathability. I am very, very sensitive.

I can't wear some clothes that used to contain unnatural ingredients such as chemical fiber. As long as I wear it on my body, I will feel that my whole body is stuffy in a closed container, and even my breathing will not be smooth. So many of my clothes, such as chiffon, polyester, etc., are not made of pure natural materials. No matter how beautiful and expensive, they are all given to my sister by friends, or donated to people in need, or sold by idle fish, because it really makes me feel bad.

Now, all my clothes are 100% pure natural ingredients. Winter is pure wool and pure cashmere, which is both warm and breathable and has a good texture. I won't be bored after I start, and the more I cross. In summer, Xiangyun yarn, silk, pure cotton and flax are the main fabrics.

Xiangyun yarn should be regarded as the best fabric in summer. The higher the mum, the better the quality. Xiangyun yarn is very breathable, especially when it is blown from Xia Feng, and I feel like I am breathing all over. It is said that the name of Xiangyun yarn comes from the rustling sound when the wind blows, and Xiangyun yarn also has the function of nourishing muscles, probably because it is breathable!

But when you buy it, you should also pay attention to it. It must be 100% silk, otherwise it will feel stuffy. I started wearing Xiangyun veil last year, and the content is not 100%, but it is not low. At that time, I felt that I would wear the veil occasionally, and the content was not 100%, which would not affect the feeling of wearing it. After wearing it several times, I found that the breathability and comfort are really far from the real Xiangyun yarn.

1, cashmere

The warmth retention of cashmere is eight times that of wool, but its weight is only one fifth of that of wool. It is the best choice for winter clothing fabrics, but it is also more delicate and less durable than wool.

2. Velvet

Velvet fabric feels silky, tough, wrinkle-resistant and elastic.

Although some hair will be lost, it will be soft and skin-friendly after washing. Velvet fabric actually has many advantages, such as heat insulation, ultraviolet protection, moisture resistance, easy cleaning and so on.

3. marijuana

It is a kind of plant fiber, known as cool and noble fiber. Good hygroscopicity, quick moisture release, large heat conduction, quick heat dissipation, cool wearing, no close fitting after sweating, good washing resistance and good heat resistance.

4. Mulberry silk

Natural animal protein fiber is smooth, soft and shiny, and it feels warm in winter and cool in summer.

There is a unique "silk sound" phenomenon when rubbing, with good ductility, good heat resistance and no resistance to salt water erosion. Not suitable for chlorine bleach or detergent treatment.

5. Acetic acid fiber

It is made of natural materials containing cellulose by chemical processing and has the style of silk. It is light and comfortable to wear, with good elasticity and elastic recovery, not suitable for washing and poor color fastness.

6. tribute satin

Smooth and delicate surface, soft feel, good luster, bright color, good elasticity, dense texture and not easy to deform.

7.corduroy

Soft to the touch, round and straight velvet strips, clear lines, full fluff, strong and wear-resistant.

8. cashmere

Light in weight and very warm, it is a unique and rare animal fiber, which is known as "fiber diamond" and "soft gold" abroad.

It is soft, slender, smooth, light, elastic, naturally soft in color, good in hygroscopicity and wear resistance.

9, Tencel, flax blended

The fabric feels plump, smooth and waxy, with silky luster, good drape and quite refreshing.

Clothes are divided into spring and summer clothes and autumn and winter clothes, and natural fabrics are also very different. Generally speaking, the common fabrics are cotton, hemp, wool, silk, modal, bamboo fiber and so on. But when it comes to the best fabric for winter clothes, I think it is mink. Leather clothing made of mink is elegant and elegant, and it is an ideal fur product, which is known as the "king of fur".

Mink has three characteristics: "Mao Mao is warm when the wind blows, snow disappears when it falls, and Mao Mao is not wet when it falls". Most importantly, it can be said that each mink is unique, because the selected animal fur is unique.

The best fabric for summer clothes should be mulberry silk, because the chemical structure of silk fiber is completely consistent with the 18 amino acids of human skin. According to the theory of similarity and compatibility, people's skin is no different from their own skin when it comes into contact with this fabric, and its hygroscopicity, breathability, comfort and softness are first-class, so it is called artificial skin in the textile industry. In medicine, when there are burns and other injuries to human skin, it is recommended to use clothes made of silk fabrics, which is very helpful for wound healing.

Whether the fabric of clothes is good or not depends on whether it is suitable for personal wear. If it is soft and comfortable, hygienic and healthy, the clothes made are good fabrics. Generally speaking, plant fiber or animal fiber is more suitable for wearing comfortably and healthily, such as cotton, hemp, silk, wool and cashmere.

Textile and garment practitioners to answer this question. The first thing to say is that few people buy their own fabrics to make clothes. Except for a few high-end customized suits, shirts and dresses, fabrics should be selected for customization, and a few small tailor shops active in small and medium-sized towns also choose fabrics for their own clothes. 99% people choose to buy finished clothes.

China, as the largest manufacturing country with the strongest production capacity in the world, is known as the factory of the world, in which the textile and garment industry has made great contributions. China textile and garment industry has a large capacity, complete categories and advanced technology, which can produce all kinds of fabrics and garments with high production efficiency and rapid response. In the past, the textile and garment industry was considered as a labor-intensive sunset industry, but now with the progress of technology, the textile and garment industry has increasingly established close ties with high technology. Now the textile and garment industry can not only make our daily clothes, but also make many products needed by cutting-edge technology industries.

Recently, three astronauts are working in China Space Station. The spacesuits and extravehicular spacesuits they wear are all products of the textile and garment industry, with high technology content. Other industries, such as medical industry, civil engineering, chemical industry and so on, are also using textile and clothing products, and now they all buy products from the clothing industry.

It is also convenient to buy ready-made clothes now. Many young people can buy their favorite goods online without leaving home. If the arrived clothes are not suitable or do not like them, they can be returned or exchanged immediately.

Although most people no longer make their own clothes, whether it is custom-made clothes or buying finished clothes, it involves the problem of fabrics. Different fabrics have different characteristics, different prices and different adaptability.

The reason why clothing retail stores can survive now is that different fabrics of clothing bring different styles and characteristics, which are very different. The characteristics of the same clothing style made of different fabrics are very different. This is why many low-priced clothes can only be similar to big-name clothes, but not similar. Physical stores have the characteristics of trying on, so for some customers who pay more attention to fabrics, they still prefer to buy clothes in physical stores.

There are many kinds of fabrics used to make clothes now, and their functions and prices are very different. All kinds of fabrics are natural fibers: cotton, hemp, wool, silk, rayon viscose and so on. , and various synthetic fibers: polyester, nylon, acrylic, spandex. Pure spinning or blending of these raw materials can produce countless combinations and bring countless properties, which is why there are various fabric names in the world. Such diverse and complicated fabrics have more complicated characteristics, and it is difficult to say which fabric is the best alone. Different fabrics adapt to different kinds of clothes, different seasons, different grades and different wearing occasions.

First of all, in terms of season, the weather in summer is hot and the air humidity is high, so people are particularly prone to sweating, so we should choose fabrics that are easy to absorb moisture and sweat and have good breathability. Summer clothes are generally worn close to the body, so natural cotton, silk and hemp are the first choice. These natural fibers have good hygroscopicity and are more comfortable to wear in summer, while silk has a higher sense of luxury. Of course, they also have disadvantages, that is, these kinds of natural fibers have poor shape retention, and they will go out of shape after washing and have many wrinkles. Of course, heavy silk overcomes this shortcoming better, but it is more expensive. Now, with the development of technology, the properties of some synthetic fibers have been greatly improved, and they have many functions, such as ventilation, and some of them are suitable for summer clothes.

In winter, the weather is generally cold, so choose fabrics with good warmth and light weight. In this sense, cashmere is nothing but cashmere, which is a layer of fluff covered on the skin surface of goats for winter. This kind of fluff fiber is very delicate and soft, very comfortable to wear, without the tingling sensation of wool, excellent warmth retention and strong sense of high grade.

In terms of clothing types, at present, authentic suits still take the sense of high class as the primary indicator. In this respect, wool has a unique advantage. Although the performance of synthetic fiber has been greatly improved, it is still not as good as high-grade wool suit fabric. Shirt fabric is still the first choice of high-grade pure cotton fabric. Nowadays, many polyester fabrics have good performance, but they are still not as good as high-grade cotton shirt fabrics.

Cashmere fabric is the first choice for sweaters mainly used to keep out the cold. Cashmere fabric is soft and has excellent warmth retention, so it can be made very light. Nowadays, there are many kinds and styles of casual wear, and no fabric can be unique. Therefore, cotton blending is the best, especially the elastic fabric composed of a small amount of high elastic spandex, which is especially suitable for leisure technology and service requirements.

In winter, high-grade socks, pure cotton socks or wool socks are preferred, and women's stockings woven with high elastic spandex are the best. In the field of sportswear, some high-tech synthetic fibers have gradually surpassed natural fibers, and have taken the lead in breathability, easy drying, comfort, elasticity, strength and color fastness.

Natural fibers are better than chemical fibers. Cotton, wool, silk and hemp are four natural fibers.

Cotton is the most widely used natural fiber material, such as shirt fabric and khaki pants. Many of them are all cotton, of course, some of them are cotton-polyester blended materials.

Wool is a high-grade material among the four natural fibers, belonging to animal natural fibers. Many coats worn in winter are made of wool. Cashmere, known as soft gold, can be regarded as one of the top-grade fabric materials.

Silk is a kind of fabric material with China characteristics. In the eyes of foreigners, silk, like porcelain, is the representative of China's traditional culture. Silk pajamas are very comfortable.

Hemp is divided into flax, jute and hemp. Hemp fabric is generally used to make clothes to wear in summer, which is cool and comfortable.

There are many kinds of chemical fibers, such as polyester, acrylic, nylon, viscose and polypropylene. And polyester should be the most widely used chemical fiber material. At present, with the development of science and technology, some modified polyesters are widely used in sportswear, which have the function of moisture absorption and perspiration and are very comfortable to wear.

Now clothes, especially in summer, must wear cotton and linen. Mulberry, cotton and silk are very comfortable, and you can experience it yourself. What kind of satin fabric is uncomfortable, too close-fitting, or better for leisure is just my personal opinion. Of course, as long as you are decent, you can wear yourself.

Summer clothing materials: ranking: cuprammonia silk, heavy silk, silk, viscose fiber, cotton, plant fiber, man-made fiber.

Winter: cashmere, cashmere, wool (shrinkage), cotton+blended.
