Hello. I’m Dong from ApparelX. Today I’d like to introduce how to use ApparelX.

How to Use, Part 1 — Fabric Search

Using silk as an example, I’ll introduce the various functions of ApparelX~ Choose Fabric from the product categories on the home page Next, to find silk material, click the Add Material button in the left menu bar. If the menu bar is open by default, scroll down to the heading “Materials” to find it. In the Materials menu, the names of materials used for fabrics are listed. Let’s look for silk together on the left. Click the silk item on the left, and all ApparelX silk fabrics will be displayed.

Cotton/Polyester, Polyester/Cotton — Hard to Tell Apart

When searching for fabrics, it’s easier to find fabrics made from a single material. So how do you look for blended fabrics? For example, let’s say you want to find a cotton and polyester blend. You may have noticed the options “Cotton/Polyester” and “Polyester/Cotton” on the left, but how are they distinguished? It’s actually simple: on ApparelX, the materials in blended fabrics are basically separated by a “/” symbol. For example, cotton/polyester/nylon; in terms of content, they are arranged from left to right in descending order. So if you want to find a fabric that is 80% cotton and 20% polyester, just select “Cotton/Polyester” on the left.

Try Specifying More Conditions

For example, if you want to find polyester fabric made by a certain manufacturer and used for outerwear. Then specify these three conditions on the left, and you can easily find the fabric you need. For easier understanding, in the image below, the positions of the boxes in the same colors correspond to each other. You can quickly find the fabric you want by specifying conditions like this.
