Poplin - sew strong!

 

 

Poplin

 

The term poplin originates from another word "papelino" and was first made at Avignon in France.  The term derives from the term used for the papal residence situated there in the 15th century and from a fabric termed "papeline" made from silk in the same century.

 

Traditionally it is made of two different types of yarns woven together, one in the weft (the worsted yarn)  and the other in the warp (the silk).  It can be made of many yarns including  wool, cotton, silk and rayon. 

 

The combination of two different yarns give the fabric depth and lustre as well as stoutness making it great for work wear and even upholstery.  Shirts made from this fabric do not wrinkle easily and are easy to iron. 

 

Sew.... at NEO CCS we would use this fabric to make medical uniforms or shirts for the hospitality sector, how about you?

 

 



Fleece .....sew warm for winter!

Fleece

 Fleece is lightweight fabric with a thick, heavy fleece-like surface that keeps the wearer warm without making them feel restricted.  It can be either a pile or napped fabric in a woven or knit construction.  At Neo CCS we would use this to make warm jackets for your staff in receiving, in store or simply for a fun promotion day.  Polarfleece®  was originally developed in 1979 by Malden Mills.  It has become a popular fabric used in many applications for corporate wear.  It provides protection from extreme weather conditions without being too bulky or restrictive so it is perfect for staff who don't sit behind a desk all day!.  Remember the 2010 soccer.....I bet you had a SA flag blanket made in this fabric to help keep you warm in the stands....

Bull Denim

Sew  no jokes, there is a fabric called bull denim, it is basically the same as a normal denim minus the indigo dye that goes into making normal denim blue.  It comes in a range of colours and has increasingly been used in the manufacture of upholstery and soft furnishings.  This year it has made quite a fashion statement being used for brightly coloured jeans.  Hmm....I wonder if we should try using some of those bright colours to manufacture hard wearing brightly coloured conti suits to jazz up the work place?

Denim...

Sew .......did you know?

Clothing may maketh the man but you do have to select the correct fabric  for the right application or you will not be very comfortable! It is no use using 100% wool on a chef's jacket for instance as it wouldn't be fit for purpose......sew as a service to you our valued clients we will be posting up some info on some of the more commonly used fabrics so that you can make informed choices the next time you need uniform for your staff.

Sew....let's start with denim

Everyone has something in their wardrobe that is made from denim.  It has become a universal fabric recognized by many.  It is a really versatile fabric that is used for many types of clothing and accessories as well as home furnishings.

The fabric has a twill weave (that't the striped pattern of the material) and comes in various thicknesses eg 10oz, 12 oz.  Denim may even be made with lycra woven in for comfort .... a welcome addition, especially for jeans!

At Neo CCS we would use this fabric for denim jeans for men and women as well as rugged conti-suits to provide longevity in an industrial type factory setting.
