Material Composition | Apparel, suits, formal wear | Industry: 100% cotton ▲ Base: 65% polyester/35% cotton (blended for durability) ▲ Advanced: 50% polyester/50% organic cotton (eco-enhanced) | Blend enhances wrinkle resistance and durability; organic option reduces environmental impact | Base version has less natural feel; Advanced may cost 20% more due to organic materials |
Water Resistance | Outdoor apparel, raincoats, sportswear | Industry: Basic DWR coating ▲ Base: 5,000mm (ASTM D3390) ▲ Advanced: 10,000mm (ASTM D3390) | Protects against light rain (Base) and heavy downpours (Advanced) | Advanced coating may slightly reduce breathability compared to Base |
Wrinkle Resistance | Travel clothing, uniforms | Industry: Moderate (ASTM D5034: 3/5) ▲ Base: 4/5 ▲ Advanced: 4.5/5 (ASTM D5034) | Requires minimal ironing; maintains crisp appearance after washing | Extreme heat or prolonged wear may still cause minor wrinkles |
Shrink Resistance | Tailored suits, formal wear | Industry: 5% shrinkage (ISO 5993) ▲ Base: 2% ▲ Advanced: 0.5% (ISO 5993) | Maintains fit over multiple washes; ideal for precise tailoring | Advanced version requires specialized manufacturing, increasing cost by 15% |
Eco-Friendliness | Sustainable fashion, eco-conscious brands | Industry: Standard polyester ▲ Base: Oeko-Tex 100 certified ▲ Advanced: Recycled polyester + Oeko-Tex 100 | Reduces chemical exposure (Oeko-Tex); recycled materials cut waste | Limited color palette in Advanced due to recycled material constraints |
Thickness | Lightweight clothing, summer apparel | Industry: 250 GSM ▲ Base: 220 GSM (ISO 3801) ▲ Advanced: 190 GSM (ultra-light) | Enhances breathability and comfort in warm climates; easy to sew | Less durable for heavy use; may pill faster with frequent friction |
