Abstract

It details the main apparel fabric types and looks at the key performance requirements of those fabrics, in relation to both the weave structure and the fibre type. The chapter then goes on to briefly describe important considerations in the design process and the various end uses for woven fabric. Application examples detailed towards the end of the chapter, include fabrics that are timeless classics and fabrics that are established fashion favourites.
