Introduction of seersucker fabric

Seersucker is a fabric with special appearance and style characteristics in cotton fabrics, which is processed from light and thin muslin. Two different warp beams, ground warp and foam warp, are used for weaving. The yarn count of the foamed yarn is relatively thick, and the let-off speed is about 30% faster than that of the ground warp. After loosening, it becomes a woven seersucker. The seersucker produced by this method is generally a yarn-dyed color stripe product, some of which are all cotton, and some are pure fiber or chemical fiber blended.

Seersucker is not close to the body and has a cool feeling when worn. It is suitable for all kinds of women's summer clothing. The advantage of clothes made of seersucker is that they do not need to be ironed after washing, but the disadvantage is that after repeated scrubbing, the bubbles will gradually become flat. Especially when washing, it is not advisable to soak in hot water, let alone scrub and rub hard, so as not to affect the soaking fastness.

Seersucker is a cotton printed and dyed product with foam crepe, which has various color stripes such as bleached, plain, printed, and colored stripes. There are many processing methods. Foaming is the use of the characteristics of fibers that will expand and contract when they encounter concentrated alkali.

Seersucker Classification:

1. According to the principle of bubble formation, seersucker is mainly divided into weaving seersucker, alkali shrinkage seersucker, etc.;
2. According to different printing and dyeing processing methods, it can be divided into dyed seersucker, printed seersucker, and yarn-dyed seersucker.

History of seersucker:

Seersucker fabric has a long history. It was first used to make clothes for laborers and servants during the British colonial period in India, so it was not as widely used as wool at first. Later, it was introduced to the United States due to colonial trade. At the beginning, it also maintained the "Low-level" cognition, used to make work clothes for railway workers and oil workers. It wasn't until a fabric merchant discovered its unique characteristics that he began to apply it in the field of formal wear to help gentlemen survive the hot summer. Until now, seersucker is still the most popular suit fabric in summer.
