Stretch fabrics are mainly made from materials with stretch and recovery properties. Depending on the application, you can choose the weave or knit structure from knits, plain weaves, brushed materials, twill, chino, and gabardine. Materials handled include polyester as the main one, as well as cotton, polyurethane, nylon, and wool.
When ease of movement is important, check for the property of stretching in response to pulling force and returning to its original shape when the force is released. Polyurethane is a material that adds elasticity when blended with other fibers. The strength and shape retention of polyester, the absorbency and feel of cotton, and the lightness and abrasion resistance of nylon are also important selection criteria.
Plain weave is a basic structure in which warp yarns and weft yarns are woven alternately, and it can become a wide range of textiles depending on the yarn, density, and finish. By looking at combinations of structure and material, choose the stretchability that suits the plan.
With its subdued look and stretchiness, it is also recommended for easy-to-move casual sets for fall and winter.
