What are the components that make up the structure of clothing materials?

Although there are many types of clothing, the material structure can be divided into five parts: fabric, lining, padding, and lining.

① Fabric: Materials that reflect the main characteristics of clothing, such as organic fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, and sewn fabrics. These fabrics determine the properties of clothing (softness, fluidity, clarity of contours, rigidity, etc.) based on their respective styling characteristics, drape, and elasticity. Woven fabrics still dominate in outerwear fabrics, while knitted fabrics are commonly used in underwear, sportswear, and children's clothing. Knitted fabrics are superior to woven fabrics in terms of elasticity, softness, and porosity. Modern clothing has new requirements for the quality of fabrics, especially their appearance. Some appearance effects are the result of the entire fabric processing process, requiring the production of yarn from fiber raw materials to begin; Some require special weaving or knitting machines, as well as special post-processing to be produced.

② Lining: As a clothing clip, it is used to aid in the contour of the fabric. However, due to the contact between the lining and the internal clothing, it is advisable to choose fabrics that are smooth, wear-resistant, easy to wash, light and soft, and not easily fade. The materials include feather yarn, feather satin, silk, etc.

③ Lining: The lining is placed between the fabric and lining to enhance wearing comfort and maintain the shape of the garment, known as the "skeleton" of the garment. The lining material needs to be designed and selected according to the type and style of the fabric. The lining materials include: hot melt lining, wool lining, linen lining, non-woven fabric lining, chemical fiber lining, and sewn fabric lining, among which hot melt lining is a more popular lining material. The adhesive backing fabric of hot melt lining is coated with a layer of adhesive made of polyester, polyamide, or polyethylene polymer compounds on cotton or polyester cotton blended fabric.

④ Filler: A thermal insulation material used to increase the thickness of clothing. Often choose fluffy fibers such as cotton, down, camel hair, etc. With the development of chemical fibers, lightweight and warm insulating hollow fibers and acrylic fibers have been applied.

⑤ Gall material: a set of fillers. Loose fillers rely on bile to give them a stable form. Fabric used for gallbladder materials is often determined by the type of filler, and generally requires compactness and softness, such as cotton cloth, polyester fiber, etc.
