Fabric Knowledge

Common Fabric Compositions

Different materials give fabrics distinct textures and properties. Choosing the right material based on application scenarios and functional needs is the key to creating perfect textile products.

Hung Yi Fabric Knowledge - 100% Cotton Fabric Texture and Natural Skin-Friendly Properties
Natural Fiber

100% Cotton (100% Cotton)

Natural plant fibers are primarily extracted from cotton. The processing is divided into combed and carded. The latter retains more cotton husks (tiny brown-black particles), which serve as the authentic ID of natural cotton fabrics.

Wearing Experience
Excellent moisture wicking and high breathability. Perfect for sensitive skin.
Durability
High heat resistance, allowing for high-temperature washing. However, it is prone to wrinkling and shrinkage.
Market Price
Mid-to-high range. Combed cotton and organic cotton are priced higher.
Best Applications
Baby clothing, underwear, bedding, and comfortable T-shirts.

CVC Blend (Chief Value Cotton)

A blend of cotton and polyester, with cotton content typically exceeding 50%. This fabric focuses on the comfort of cotton while utilizing polyester to enhance strength and wrinkle resistance. It is a classic choice balancing natural hand-feel and functionality.

Wearing Experience
Retains the softness and breathability of cotton while increasing shape stability, preventing sagging.
Durability
Polyester significantly enhances wear and wrinkle resistance, making it easier to care for after washing.
Market Price
Lower production cost than 100% cotton, making it highly competitive in the commercial market.
Best Applications
Group T-shirts, casual workwear, uniforms, and high-frequency wear garments.

55~65% Cotton Blend
Hung Yi Fabric Knowledge - TC Fabric (Polyester + Cotton) High Cost-Performance and Wrinkle-Resistant Material
65% Poly + 35% Cotton

TC Fabric (Polyester + Cotton)

A blend of polyester (T) and cotton (C), commonly in a 65:35 ratio. This is a "practicality-core" fabric that combines the toughness of polyester with the skin-friendly nature of cotton, making it one of the most cost-effective and durable choices in the garment market.

Wearing Experience
Possesses a certain stiffness. It does not easily shrink or wrinkle after washing, making it extremely easy to care for.
Durability
Wear-resistant, wash-resistant, and shape-retaining. Ideal for frequent washing and prolonged wear.
Market Price
Low production cost, offering an excellent price-performance ratio for large-scale uniform procurement.
Best Applications
School uniforms, workwear, business shirts, and durable home bedding.

TR Fabric (Polyester + Rayon)

A blend of synthetic fiber (polyester) and artificial fiber (rayon). Rayon, an artificial silk made from wood pulp, gives the fabric a silk-like smoothness, while polyester provides stability. This gives the fabric both a premium look and durable characteristics.

Wearing Experience
Smooth and lustrous hand-feel with a natural cooling effect and excellent moisture absorption. Extremely comfortable for summer wear.
Durability
Excellent drape and wrinkle resistance, perfectly maintaining the crisp and flowing lines of the garment.
Market Price
Simulates the texture of high-end silk or wool at a reasonable price, and is more wear-resistant than natural fibers.
Best Applications
Business suits, dress pants, pleated skirts, and uniforms requiring a professional appearance.

Hung Yi Fabric Knowledge - 100% Polyester Fabric: Tough and Quick-Drying Functional Material
100% Polyester Fiber

Polyester Fiber (100% Polyester / T-Fabric)

Composed entirely of petrochemical synthetic fibers, it is the most widely used textile material globally. Known for its extreme toughness, wrinkle resistance, and quick-drying properties. Although it has low moisture absorption, modern processing techniques (like faux suede or chiffon-feel) can give it a highly diverse appearance and hand-feel.

Wearing Experience
Excellent quick-drying ability and wrinkle resistance, making maintenance extremely easy, though breathability is relatively low.
Durability
Highly wear-resistant, shape-retaining, and extremely long-lasting. Withstands repeated washing and dries quickly.
Market Price
The most cost-effective material, highly competitive in activewear, jackets, or budget-friendly fast fashion.
Best Applications
Jackets, sportswear, windbreakers, raincoats, tents, and various durable bags.
