Tips Fesyen Lelaki Masa Kini

Umum mengetahui bukan wanita sahaja perlu berfesyen, lelaki juga memainkan peranan penting dalam berfesyen. Golongan lelaki yang berfesyen kebanyakannya untuk ke tempat kerja, dinner dan juga keluar bersama rakan-rakan atau orang yang tersayang. jadi, pakaian dan penampilan diri perlu di jaga agar nampak lembih kemas dan sesuai dengan destinasi yang dituju.

Fesyen Terkini Lelaki Dan Cara Berfesyen Untuk Lelaki

1. Pilih pakaian yang fit - Benda utama yang akan menampakkan lelaki 'alert' dengan fesyen ni ialah cara memilih baju. Masalah utama kebanyakan lelaki ialah memakai baju yang lebih besar daripada badan. Pastikan memilih pakaian yang fit iaitu pakaian yang membuatkan badan anda rasa seolah dipeluk tapi bukan dijerut. Berhati-hati ketika memilih, fit bukan bermakna ketat.

2. Simple tapi smart - Apabila bercerita tentang fesyen, bukan bermakna anda perlu berpakaian seperti seorang artis. Pakai simple pun dah cukup. Amalkan mengayakan pakaian dengan tidak menggunakan lebih daripada tiga warna. Nak nampak menyerlah sikit pakailah blazer warna hitam atau putih yang fit. Pakai blazer tak semestinya kena pakai dengan kasut kulit dengan seluar slack. Pakai seluar jean pun boleh kena gayanya.

3. Santai bukan membosankan - Berpakaian santai bukan bermaksud pakai seluar pendek dengan singlet koyak. Cuba banyakkan membaca buku-buku fesyen atau melihat program-program yang bersifat santai di televisyen.

  

4.Pemakaian pastikan sepadan - Sentiasa pastikan anda berfesyen kena dengan gayanya. Duduk depan cermin fikir nampak pelik tak apa yang anda pakai. Kalau anda sendiri dah rasa pelik, apatah lagi orang kat luar sana. Sebagai contoh, anda pakai baju yang labuh tapi pakai seluar yang ketat ala-ala legging. WTF?

5. Tidak shopping berseorangan - Jangan amalkan keluar shopping berseorangan. Ajak member seorang pun jadilah. Tapi member bukan sekadar member, cari member yang boleh bagi pendapat jujur. Kata-kata member lagi boleh dipercayai berbanding penjual berkenaan.

6.Sentiasa peka - Jangan terlebih berfesyen kerana pasti akan buat anda nampak cacat, tapi jangan takut untuk berfesyen. Sentiasa fikir apakah event yang anda akan pergi. Kalau dah bercadang nak pergi ke tempat yang panas, takkan nak pakai sweater yang tebal. Jika anda pergi ke event yang dihadiri oleh bos anda, takkan anda nak nampak lebih menyerlah berbanding bos anda. Silap-silap bulan depan dapatlah surat berhenti kerja.

  

7. Jangan mengabaikan benda yang remeh-temeh - Lelaki biasanya akan menganggap bende remeh temeh seperti cara pemakaian scarf. Mesti akan kata, "Ah, bedal jelah...." Sebenarnya benda yang anda rasakan temeh tulah yang mampu memberikan impak yang besar.

8.Belanja lebih untuk kasut - Apa salahnya jika berbelanja lebih untuk sepasang kasut.  Tetapi jangan beli saja mahal-mahal, tapi tak tahu nak jaga.Tahukah anda kaum lelaki sekalian bahawa mata perempuan ni biasanya akan melihat kasut yang dipakai lelaki. Sama ada cantik atau tak cantik, bersih ke tak dan sesuai ke tak. Macam mana nak kagumkan teman wanita kalau kasut kotor. Kasut melambangkan identiti diri. Kotor kasut, pemalaslah anda.

  

9.Berhati-hati memilih t-shirt - Jangan amalkan memakai t-shirt yang mempunyai logo yang besar kerana anda akan dilihat seperti diupah oleh syarikat tertentu untuk menjadi papan iklan bergerak.

10.Jangan terikut pada trend - Jangan biasakan mengikut sangat trend masa kini kerana trend tidak akan kekal lama. Kekal dengan citarasa yang anda suka. Kerana tak guna kalau membeli pakaian mengikut trend semasa tetapi jarang pakai.  

  

11.Jangan beli kerana brand - Sebelum anda beli sesuatu pakaian, pastikan anda bertanya kepada diri sendiri sama ada anda membeli kerana brand pakaian tersebut atau kerana nampak smart. Biar beli pakaian yang murah tapi smart berbanding beli pakaian mahal tapi buruk macam kain lap kat dapur.

12.Teruskan membentuk image tersendiri - Cuba bentuk style anda yang tersendiri. Bukan bermakna anda menjadi the next lady gagap tetapi jadi seseorang yang kalau disebut saja nama anda, kawan-kawan akan mula berfikirkan tentang cara pemakaian anda. 

13. Jangan malu untuk meminta pendapat - Rajin-rajinkan diri untuk bertanya dengan orang terdekat sama ada apa yang anda pakai itu nampak smart atau sebaliknya. Tapi mestilah bertanyakan kepada orang yang boleh memberi pendapat dengan sejujurnya.

14.Pastikan muka bersih dan kemas - Perhatikan wajah anda, terutama sekali pada janggut. Ada nampak terurus? Bulu hidung tu ada terkeluar-keluar? Sideburn tu ada nampak macam Elvis Presley? Pastikan muka nampak bersih dan kemas, buang segala bulu roma yang dirasakan menyemak. Pemilihan pencukur juga amat penting. 

15.Bereksperimen dengan gaya - Jangan takut untuk memakai sesuatu yang baru. Jika selalunya anda pakai baju yang gelebeh, cuba pakai baju yang fit untuk nampak lebih tegap. Jika selalu anda sikat rambut ke hadapan, apa kata sikat rambut ke belakang untuk nampak lebih bertenaga dan berani. Semuanya terletak pada keberanian anda dan bukannya kepelikkan anda. (sumber)

Cabaran Perniagaan

Apa kabor semua? Harap sihat2 le selalu walaupun cuaca panas sekarang ni. Banyakkan minum air..lega sikit badan tu.

Ok….lama dah tak bercerita ngan korang pasal bisnes cetak baju ni. Hari ni saya nak berkongsi pengalaman sikit ngan korang terutamanya kepada sape2 yang baru nak berjinak2 dengan bisnes tshirt ni.

Mungkin ramai rasa macam mudah je kitaorang buat bisnes cetak baju ni, betul tak?

Korang mungkin nampak simple je. Orang order baju, bagi harga & terus print.

Tapi mungkin korang tak tahu cabaran serta dugaan di sebalik bisnes cetak baju kitaorang ni.

Bukan nak menakut-nakutkan korang (bagi yang baru nak berjinak dengan bisnes TShirt) tapi apa yang saya nak kongsikan ni adalah pengalaman sebenar beberapa tahun dalam bisnes ni supaya korang membuka mata & bersedia skit tentang perjalanan sebenar bisnes cetak baju ni.

Actually, ramai yang mintak petua & ilmu dengan saya tentang bisnes ni & apa yang saya boleh bantu, saya cuba bantu tapi hakikatnya, dari pengalaman le yang paling baik untuk korang belajar sebenarnya.

Mungkin ada antara cabaran ni, korang Nampak macam gerun skit bila nak join bisnes tshirt ni tapi bagi yang betul2 minat macam kitaorang ni, biasanya cabaran & dugaan tu macam biasa je. Alah bias, tegal biasa…kata orang tua2.

Orang kata kalau nak berjaya, mesti tempuh cabaran & kegagalan dulu, baru boleh berjaya, betul tak?

Ok…antara cabaran2 yang nak saya kongsi ngan korang ialah :

1. Masa

Bisnes cetak baju saaaaaaaangat pentingkan masa sebab cetak tshirt ni bukan macam bisnes barang dah siap. Kalau barang dah siap, stok dah ada, boleh jual terus.

Tapi kalau cetak baju terutamanya yang ada event penting, kita kena siapkan sebelum event tu berlaku. Kalau siap lepas event, sia-sia jelah tshirt tu korang buat sebab majlis dah habis.

Silap2…customer mintak balik duit & pulangkan balik baju tu. Tak ke menyusahkan hidup kita tu.

Kalau yang jenis tak ada due date, ok lagi sebab kita boleh mintak tangguhkan skit tarikh tu. Sementara tu, boleh kita siapkan tempahan lain dulu.

Cabaran dari segi masa ni pun sangat besar bagi saya sebab saya kerja full time tempat lain. Isteri yang kerja full time buat bisnes ni. Tapi saya respek gak pada diri sendiri sebab walaupun saya tak kerja sepenuh masa bisnes cetak baju ni, Alhamdulillah….semua tempahan dapat disiapkan dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan kecuali baru2 ni, bukan silap saya tapi courier yang lambat hantar. So, saya kena pulangkan balik duit diaorang.

Bayangkanlah…saya kerja office hour dari 8.00 pagi hingga 5.00 petang. Petang dah sampai rumah, saya akan sambung jawab emel (kat pejabat kalau kerja tak banyak, saya akan ambil masa jawab emel yang masuk).

Banyak masa saya kena korbankan. Orang lain rehat hari Sabtu Ahad, saya akan start buat blok printing seawal 6.30 pagi hari Sabtu. Malam sebelum tu, dah siapkan semua design & siap print sekali. So, bagi jimatkan skit masa untuk buat design, mana yang design agak susah skit tu, saya akan upah designer untuk buat balik design tu.

2. Pelanggan

Pelanggan pun bagi banyak dugaan & cabaran kat bisnes kitaorang.

Maafkan saya ye…saya rasa mungkin ramai yang tak baca artikel2 dalam blog saya ni & mungkin tak sempat nak baca kot sebab banyak soalan yang ditanya, dah ada dalam blog saya tu.

Antara cabaran dengan pelanggan ni ialah kebanyakan pelanggan terus tanya soalan2 yang agak mencabar untuk saya jawab dengan kekangan masa yang ada. Antara soalannya ialah :

1. “Berapa harga sehelai untuk baju ni?” – Soalan tanpa memberikan detail tempahan untuk saya bagi harga.
2. “Boleh tak saya order TShirt sehelai je?” – Mungkin ramai tak Nampak maklumat tempahan 5 lai ke atas kat banner header saya tu kot.
3. “Saya tak tahu nak buat design, boleh tolong buatkan?” – Biasanya soalan camni, saya mintak pelanggan klik pada page “Buat Design Sendiri” kat atas nun sebab saya tak sempat nak buat design tu.

Memang mencabar juga pelanggan kitaorang ni. Dari segi adab sopan pun ada jugak…tapi majoriti pelanggan saya masih mempunyai adab sopan masa dealing dalam emel. Saya rasa hanya 1,2 orang dalam beribu2 orang je yang lain dari yang lain sikit.

Ada jugak yang mengutuk & marah sebab harga saya mahal. Dalam beribu2 pelanggan yang dah deal dengan saya, tak silap saya 2 orang je kata harga saya mahal.

Terpulang pada diaorang. Kalau rasa mahal, apa salahnya bertanya dengan baik…tak dapat kurang lagi ke..takpun, tolak dengan baik & cari tempat lain yang lebih murah. Kalau ada yang berperangai camtu, mungkin dia ada masalah kot. Tak perlulah nak marah atau kutuk2.

3.  Meyakinkan pelanggan

Ini pun cabaran jugak dalam bisnes online. Anda yang baru berjinak2 dalam bisnes online ni, kejujuran, keikhlasan & iman mesti kuat terutamanya bisnes online.

Bukan mudah kita nak mintak customer bank in kan ke akaun kita, lebih2 lagi bisnes online yang orang tak Nampak muka kita.

Memang kalau nak menipu mudah sangat tapi sampai ke mana kalau kita menipu. Cuba korang tipu customer korang & tengok le berapa lama bisnes korang tu bertahan.

4.  Siapkan design customer

Seperti yang saya sebutkan sebelum ni, masa antara cabaran yang paling besar dalam bisnes cetak baju ni.

Masa juga ada kaitan dengan tempoh nak siapkan design. Kalau design simple, tempoh masa daripada nak siapkan design, print out & buat blok printing agak pendek.

Kalau just print 1 kaler sahaja, tak akan ambil masa lama.

Tapi kalau nak print banyak kaler, memang agak mencabar. Biasanya kalau customer bagi design dalam jpeg, saya akan upah designer untuk pecahkan kaler sebab blok printing saya bergantung pada berapa kaler nak print.

Biasanya part designer tu untuk pecah kaler dah ok tapi bila masuk part saya nak separatekan ikut blok printing pun kadang2 ambik masa yang lama jugak.

Cer bayangkan, camane saya nak pecahkan kaler kalau design cam kat bawah ni.

Kalau guna CMYK, mudah je sebab saya dah ada special printer untuk tu. Kalau kaler solid, memang sangat mencabar.

5.  Printing baju

Nak print baju pun mencabar gak sebenarnya. Kalau print 1 kaler, ok lagi. Wife kata sambil tidur pun boleh print….hehehehe. Bukan riak tapi nak menunjukkan agak mudah kalau nak print 1 kaler.

Yang mencabar, kalau print banyak kaler & kena tindih kaler.

Kami jarang guna locking sebenarnya. Biasanya saya akan buat marking atas setiap blok untuk bagi sharp setiap kali tindih kaler tu. Cabaran dia ialah masa nak print untuk blok ke 2, ke 3 & seterusnya . Naik juling mata kalau nak bagi design tu betul2 tepat atas setiap design.

Dengan sebab tu, saya akan caj lebih skit kalau print banyak kaler ni. Jangan marah aaa….

Saya akan cuba  mudahkan lagi kerja printing banyak kaler ni akan datang, supaya saya boleh bagi harga murah sikit nanti ye.

Itulah antara cabaran2 yang saya rasa agak kritikal sikit dalam bisnes cetak baju ni. Ini mungkin bagi saya yang tak menyewa kedai, tak upah pekerja dll.

Orang lain, saya tak tahu lak apa cabaran diaorang.

Sesetengah tu, cabaran dari segi nak buat marketing. Bagi saya, marketing Alhamdulillah sebab kalau ikutkan sekarang, tak menang tangan saya nak siapkan order dari pelanggan sebenarnya.

Ada orang cabaran dari segi kewangan. Bagi saya, Alhamdulillah jugak sebab saya ada gaji yang back up kewangan saya & nafsu saya tak besar macam orang lain. Walaupun income saya Alhamdulillah jugak setiap bulan tapi saya cuba minimizekan belanja bulanan. Saya banyakkan saving. So, senang time perlukan duit nanti.

Ada orang cabaran dari segi nak maintain bisnes. Memang…kalau diikutkan memang letih buat bisnes ni tapi sebab minat, kita tak kisah pasal tu semua. Ada orang just nak cuba2 je sebab tengok seronok je buat bisnes ni tapi bila sendiri buat, baru sendiri tau susah ke mudah.

Nak buat apa pun bisnes, komitmen, kerajinan, disiplin dan macam2 lagi sifat positif mesti ada dalam diri kita. Kalau banyak negative dari positif…konfem, tak kekal lama bisnes tu.

So…alang2 korang berjinak2 ngan bisnes ni, buat le sungguh2. Kalau duk bertukar bisnes je, bila nak Berjaya.

Satu lagi nak bagitau, kalau ada macam2 cabaran atau dugaan timbul dalam bisnes korang, berbalik le pada Tuhan, Kita ada Allah. Mengadu je pada Dia. In Sha Allah, selesai masalah kita. Itu je yang saya pegang setiap kali dugaan & cabaran datang.

Ok…harap2 dapat le sikit2 petua yang korang boleh guna kalau korang betul2 serius nak buat bisnes tshirt. Sendiri mau ingatlah ye….

Know Your Fabrics !

A Guide To Wool, Cotton, Polyester, Viscose and Silk

I (used to) know virtually nothing about the differences in fabrics. Perhaps that silk was silky, wool came from animals and that polyester was synthetic but the details were few and far between. Not knowing the properties of different types of fabrics can be a nightmare. It makes it hard to take those details into account when shopping online, and unless you’re the kind of person who reads and listens to labels (c’mon, they’re being over cautious… right?) laundry time can result in disaster.

I took it on myself to familiarize myself with a few of the more popular types of fabrics, so that I can make more educated choices and care better for my clothes. There are many different kinds of fabrics, especially when you start mixing and matching (‘blending’), but I’m going to look at wool, cotton, polyester, viscose and silk.

Wool

Wool actually comes from a variety of animal coats, and its the way in which the wool fibres have little curls in them (think, sheep for example) that create a ‘spongy’ feel and gives way to its characteristic cozy warmth.

Not all wools are scratchy either, the coat above is a wool blend but the materials is quite soft with a fuzzy surface. Characteristic of wool, along with the fact that it has very little shine or sheen.

Wool is a resilient fabric, it’ll return to its original condition after being stretched or creased, and is pretty resistant to dirt, and wear and tear.

It will also absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, which makes it excellent for winter wear.

Wool is generally bulky and heavy, but other varieties such as worsted wool are smoother and finer. Worsted wool is a bit more ‘shiny,’ and unlike wool-wool holds creases.

Caring For Wool

• Don’t wash wool to often! Washing wool too frequently can wear out the fabric, and shorten its life.
• Instead, in between washing wool garments brush off the dirt and don’t let it settle. I’ve also heard that you can ‘refresh’ wool by putting it in a steamy bathroom.
• When you do need to wash wool, put it on a delicate settings and don’t rub it.
• Wool should never be put in the dryer, as that is likely to result in shrinking.

Cotton

Cotton is soft and comfortable. It’s best property is its ability to ‘breathe’ by absorbing and releasing perspiration quickly. It’s a high quality fabric, can withstand high heat and lasts for years.

Unfortunately cotton wrinkles, and 100% cotton garments must be ironed regularly to keep their appearance.

Cotton will shrink the first time it is washed, although some cotton clothes come pre-shrunk it is important to check this out.

Lower quality cottons are prone to pilling.

Caring For Cotton

• Cotton is relatively low maintenance and can be washed in a washing machine using warm water and soap.
• Cotton can also be dried in a dryer on a low heat, or hung to dry on a clothesline, but be careful when putting dark-coloured cottons in the dryer as this will cause the colour to fade over time.
• Iron to remove winkles, but take care not to iron over stains as this will end up ‘setting’ the stains (making them permanent).

Polyester

Polyester has a bit of a bad reputation, but current polyester fabrics have a reasonably nice feel. Its best property is that it’s strong and resistant to creasing, thus polyester garments keep their shape quite well. You’ll often find polyester blended with cotton to help the cotton keep its shape and prevent it from wrinkling (this is known as a ‘permanent press’ property).

Polyester is resilient and resists biological damage, it wears quite well and is easy to wash.

100% polyester fabrics (like the top above) are actually quite soft and smooth. Almost satiny. They have a bit of give give in them.

CARING FOR POLYESTER

• Polyester is machine washable, and can be dried on low heat setting in your dryer or by hung out to air dry.
• If you are putting polyester items in the dryer, don’t leave it running too long. This can cause shrinkage.
• Polyester usually doesn’t require ironing, but you can use an iron on a warm setting if need be. Don’t use a hot setting as polyester can scorch.

VISCOSE/RAYON

I’ve done a bit of research, and I still can’t say what the difference between viscose and rayon. Some say that rayon and viscose is the same thing, just different terminology, others say that viscose is a type of rayon. For our purposes, we’ll look at them together. Viscose has a silky appearance and feel, it breathes like cotton and has a good ‘drape.’ It’s relatively light, resulting in lightweight clothing.

Its main drawback is that it wrinkles very easily, which is why I’m always finding my viscose t-shirts crumbled and crinkly.

CARING FOR VISCOSE RAYON

• Viscose requires delicate hand in cool – luke warm water with washing for proper care, with no wringing or twisting (apparently this can cause the fabric to rip).
• If its a relatively unimportant item (t-shirts, for example) you may be able to get away with putting it in a wash back for a machine wash on a delicate setting… but tread with caution!
• Hang wet items and let them dry that way, this will also help to remove any creasing.
• To remove wrinkles, iron using a medium setting with steam.

Silk

Silk is made from the fibres of the cocoon of the Chinese silkworm. It is spun into a smooth, shiny and sleek fabric. Silk absorbs moisture, which makes it cool in the summer and warm in the winter – and its this high level of absorbency that means it can be dyed many different colors.

It feels quite luxurious! Silk retains its shape, drapes well and caresses the figure.

CARING FOR SILK

• Silk care will depend on the type of silk, so here I do recommend checking the label. Sometimes you will need to take silk to be dry cleaned.
• Unless the label clearly states that the item is machine washable, was by hand. Use gold water, and massage soap through the garment, gently! Rinse our the soap with cold water.
• To dry, never ring out/twist silk as this could damage it. Instead, lay it out on a dry towel, and then use another towel to soak up the excess water. Hang the garment up once you’ve removed the heaviest of the water, and let it dry out on the hanger. Padded hangers are recommended – wire ones will leave an impression and are generally just not good, and wooden hangers can stain the fabric.
• Don’t hang sin the sun, as it will eventually yellow/fade.
• Use a low setting on an iron to remove any persistent wrinkles – but most will cease on their own.

Fabric Talk : Uses for most of the Round Neck & Collar T-Shirt

Today let's talk about fabric.

Learn more about fabric ! Fabric that use for clothing and suit your desires.

Fabrics are manufactured from various raw-materials which are available from nature or artificially generated or mix of both. Fabrics can be classified based on the origin of fibers and its processes or its end usage.

Natural fabrics are those which are created from the fibers of animals coats, the cocoons of silkworms, and plants seeds, leaves and stems. It is breathable and never cause rashes apart from being soft and durable. Natural fabric is the best choice for everyone. It does not change color from UV light and there is no warming until the material looses its tensile strength.

Synthetic or man-made fabrics are made from fibers which are either completely made from inorganic materials or organic materials combined with chemicals. Synthetic fabrics have numerous properties with the purpose for which it is produced and finished. Some are lightweight with ultra sheer while others are moisture wicking and fast drying. Few are very luxurious to imitate some other natural fabrics and some are very strong and tough.

Cotton Fabric

The fabric which is believed to be most soothing and safe is called as cotton fabric. Immense use of cotton fabric for infant s dresses or beddings is a live testimony of its softness and skin-friendliness. Cotton fabric has a distinctive feature that it adjusts easily with climatic requirements that is why it is called all-season fabric. In summer season cotton fabric keeps the body cool and absorbs the sweat easily whereas they give a warm feel if worn in winder season.

Сotton fiber differs markedly from other cellulose fibers in morphological traits. Due to many features, сotton even though it was discovered later than other fibers gained a superior position and stimulated immense development of textile industry. Among the advantages of cotton fabric we can name the following:

1. Сotton fabrics show good durability and utility (but still сotton fabrics are inferior to synthetic fabrics in durability). Сotton is a chemically stable material, it stays undamaged even under the continuous exposure of weak acids and alkalis.

2. High water-absorbing capacity. In humid atmosphere cotton fabric can absorb 27% of water without getting damp.

3. Cotton fabric has very good breathable characteristics, it is hypoallergenic, agreeable to touch, it is suits perfectly for people with skin hypersensibility. It has low thermal-conductivity, therefore it is an ideal material for both summer and winter clothes: in summer it prevents your skin from heat, and in winter it preserves the warmth of your body.

4. Cotton fabrics are easy to dye.

5. Cotton fabrics have very low elasticity characteristics, so they almost don't stretch.

6. They are easy washable and can be ironed even at high temperature.

Сotton fabric is often used with WR (water resistance), OP (oil proof), flame retardant (FR) finishes, XM Textiles also provides cotton fabric with antistatic fibers. Cotton fabrics often find its application in producing workwear with high hygienic requirements and clothing for protection against low temperatures.

Linen Fabric

Linen is called as king of natural fabric. Linen is extensively used for apparel making and home furnishing as well. Linen, being a natural fiber is considered to be safe for all types of skin. Linen fabric is also suggested for sensitive skin as its natural properties makes it resistant for allergies.

Linen fabric do not cause problems like irritation, allergic reaction etc. The natural fiber of linen makes it strong and durable. Linen is an easy maintainable fabric. No special treatments are required for linen; it can be simply washed by hands. Although linen is used for all kinds of clothing, yet mostly used for home furnishing items like table cloth, bedspreads, curtains etc

Jersey Fabric

Jersey is a knit fabric used predominantly for clothing manufacture. It was originally made of wool, but is now made of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibres. Since medieval times Jersey, Channel Islands, where the material was first produced, had been an important exporter of knitted goods and the fabric in wool from Jersey became well known. The fabric can be a very stretchy single knitting, usually light-weight, jersey with one flat side and one piled side. When made with a lightweight yarn, this is the fabric most often used to make T-shirts. Or it can be a double knitted jersey (interlock jersey), with less stretch, that creates a heavier fabric of two single jerseys knitted together to leave the two flat sides on the outsides of the fabric, with the piles in the middle. Jersey is considered to be an excellent fabric for draped garments, such as dresses, and women's tops.

Mircofiber Fabric

Microfiber or microfibre is synthetic fiber finer than one or 1.3 denier or decitex/thread. This is 1/100th the diameter of a human hair and 1/20th the diameter of a strand of silk. The most common types of microfibers are made from polyesters, polyamides (e.g., nylon, Kevlar, Nomex, trogamide), or a conjugation of polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene (Prolen). Microfiber is used to make mats, knits, and weaves for apparel, upholstery, industrial filters, and cleaning products. The shape, size, and combinations of synthetic fibers are selected for specific characteristics, including softness, toughness, absorption, water repellency, electrodynamics, and filtering capabilities.

Microfiber fabric is often used for athletic wear, such as cycling jerseys, because the microfiber material wicks moisture (sweat) away from the body, keeping the wearer cool and dry. Microfiber is also very elastic, making it suitable for undergarments. However, the US Marine Corps banned synthetic fabrics in forward environments due to melting and burn risk.

Microfiber is also used to make tough, very soft-to-the-touch materials for general clothing use, often used in skirts and jackets. Microfiber can be made into Ultrasuede, an animal-product-free imitation suede that is cheaper[citation needed] and easier to clean and sew than real suede.

Polyester Fabric

Polyester is a type of fabric that is not found naturally. The polyester fabric is man made. The polyester fabric is widely used in various applications and is very much in demand in markets. This fabric has various qualities due to those it is so popular like wrinkle resistance and springing back into its smooth shape. The polyester fabric is very strong and soft as well.

The polyester fabric can also be mixed with other fabrics to make a strong and durable fabric or to achieve any other motive. For example, In upholstery, polyester is generally blended with wool to eliminate crushing and reduce fading. There are various uses of polyester fabric like it is used in casement curtains, draperies, floor coverings, throw rugs, bedding, and as a cushioning or insulating material.
Polyester is resilient and resists biological damage, it wears quite well and is easy to wash.

100% polyester fabrics (like the top above) are actually quite soft and smooth. Almost satiny. They have a bit of give give in them.

TC Fabric

TC stands for for Tetron Cotton. Tetron is a material that blended with polyester. (65% Polyester, 35% Rayon)
TC fabric is a very popular type of polyester cotton fabric that is used for different types of workwear, uniform and corporate clothing.

This kind of workwear fabric provides an optimum polyester/cotton proportion that guarantees excellent strength properties and good hygienic characteristics. Special final finishes and good quality of the dye stuff allow us to achieve high grade of color-fastness, high temperature of washing and low percentage of shrinkage. These fabrics almost do not lose shape, don't crease, have a very small shrinkage index and good colorfastness, they wash easily and show very good breathable, hygroscopic and durable properties.

To improve the properties of T/C fabrics we apply special softening finishes that give our fabrics excellent tactile perception, water repellent and oil repellent finishes to defend people against rain and oil.

CVC Fabric

CVC fabrics or Chief Value Cotton fabrics are fabrics made of cotton and polyester, that contain larger percentages of cotton yearn that polyester. They are mostly used in production of hospital garments and are also recommended for manufacture of uniforms and work wear.

CVC fabric is a result of polyester and cotton blending in the certain proportion. Interwoven CVC fabrics are characterized by enlarged percentage of cotton yarn that provides better hygienic properties in comparison with TC fabrics and better strength characteristics in comparison with 100% cotton fabrics. Also they guarantee low shrinkage, high color-fastness and perfect durability.

Most types of CVC fabrics have the same constructions as T/C fabrics and differ from them by enlarged percentage of cotton only. XM Textiles offers regular interwoven CVC fabrics and CVC fabrics with polyester yarn exterior. In this case cotton yarn is placed on the interior that guarantees excellent hygienic characteristics. We recommend to choose this materials for people with hypersensibility. CVC fabrics are perfect for producing medical and chef clothes, shirts. All CVC fabrics are suitable for workwear, uniforms and corporate clothes for all kind of industries.
