Hello.
This is mammy from the ApparelX trend blog.
As October draws to a close, the temperature in Tokyo is finally starting to cool down, and it feels like autumn has finally arrived.
When the temperature suddenly drops after being hot up until now, it feels even colder.
This time, I would like to explain about warm fleece and boa textile that are recommended for the upcoming autumn and winter.
Fleece is a textile that is becoming a standard for winter wear.
It is now used in many of our everyday items, such as hoodies, outerwear, the inside of pants, blankets, and loungewear.
Fleece textile is a fuzzy textile made from synthetic materials such as polyester.
By fuzzy the surface, the textile becomes fluffy and soft to the touch.
Recently, fleeces made from recycled polyester and environmentally friendly fleeces made from biodegradable polyester thread have also appeared.
What is warmth? It is said that the warmth comes from the inclusion of a layer of air.
Air is the best insulator, so this layer of air keeps out the cold.
The fluffy fuzzy part of fleece textile creates a layer of air between the fibers, trapping heat from the body and keeping you warm.
It also keeps out the cold air from outside.
It retains heat while being breathable, so it dries quickly.
This means that it dries easily even when you sweat, and it dries quickly even after washing, which is a nice feature.
Fleece is also lightweight and easy to carry, making it a popular choice for trekking wear when hiking.
While fleece textile is light and quick-drying, it has the disadvantage of being "easily windproof."
When a strong wind blows, the wind hits your body and you feel cold.
Therefore, you will need to use some ingenuity, such as combining fleece items with windproof outerwear.
Another disadvantage is that it is weak to friction and prone to pilling, so when washing, it is best to put it in a laundry net and wash it on the "gentle mode".
We would like to introduce some recommended textile featured on ApparelX .
This fleece has an anti-pilling finish that makes it less susceptible to pilling, a drawback of fleece.
There is a wide range of colors available, from light to chic.
SW10200R Recycled polyester double-sided fleece
This is a double-sided fleece made from regular polyester and cationic polyester using recycled materials.
The recycled material used is PET bottles.
It is a melange fleece, so the textile has depth with a mixture of colors.
Fleece tends to look sporty, but this melange fleece gives it a neater look.
By weaving highly abrasion-resistant Cordura into the fleece, we have created a textile that is highly resistant to friction.
FLEECE-PT-3 classic fleece botanical print
This textile features a botanical pattern by HOKKOH, who is good at printing fabrics. The plant pattern has a painterly touch and is lovely.
It's sure to be an eye-catching item whether used all over or just partly.
boa textile is similar to the fleece explained earlier, but it is a fluffy textile that resembles curly animal fur.
The word "boa" comes from the Latin word for a giant South American snake.
You might think that giant snakes aren't fluffy at all, but apparently this name was given because noblewomen wearing long fur (boa) scarf around their necks looked like they had a giant snake wrapped around them.
Speaking of boa
"Sheep boa" (fluffy textile like sheep's wool)
"Poodle boa" (a textile with a curly surface that resembles the fur of a poodle)
Isn't this a famous one?
There are actually many different kinds of boa.
The biggest feature of boa textile is that the fur on the surface is curled.
This gives it more volume and fluffiness than straight fur.
By the way, curly fur is called "boa" and straight fur is called "fur."
They are similar but not the same.
- First of all, boa textile has excellent heat retention properties because the curled fur traps the air emitted from the body.
・Although it looks voluminous, the total weight is not that heavy because the hair is curled.
・Another good point about boa textile is that it is fluffy and soft to the touch. It can be used not only for apparel products such as outerwear, but also for blankets and other items.
