FABRICS
Fabrics can react differently with differing skin types. Following is a list of fabrics and a bit about of them.Cotton
This 100% natural fiber is spun into yarn or thread. Cotton is the mostly widely used natural fiber for clothing. Cotton has a high degree of strength, durability and absorbency, it is easily grown in all parts of the world.Pima Cotton
Although still a form of cotton and 100% natural, Pima is much harder to grow and therefore priced slightly more. The cotton is finer and longer therefore making it softer. Pima cotton is also used to make some of the finest Egyptian Cottons.
Spandex or Elastane
This synthetic fiber is known for it’s elasticity. It is added to other fibers to give them more strength and durability. It is not uncommon to see spandex as a portion of a garments compilation because of the benefits it provides.
Bamboo
Rayon derived from bamboo is produced from regenerated cellulosic fibers. The Bamboo is broken down, then treated and made into rayon derived from Bamboo. The fabric has natural anti-bacterial functions. Bamboo also promotes green products.
Seacell
Seacell fibers are manufactured from natural materials only. It is said that the natural elements found in Seacell such as Vitamins and Amino acids are passed on to the body when worn. Cotton is combined with seaweed to make the Seacell fiber. Seacell also promotes green products.
Micro Modal
Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. It is technically a form of Rayon. Textiles made from Modal do not pill, like cotton does, and are resistant to shrinkage and fading. It is about 50% more hygroscopic, or water-absorbent, per unit volume than cotton is. Modal is also the main textile used in the Supersoft styles of men’s underwear.
