Seven tips of selection of knitted underwear
1.Size
Product model has its own standard representation methods such as 175/100. “175” represent body height and “100” represent human chest perimeter and waistline. However, product identification is not standardized on the current market. There is virtual code expression such as size stickers: “S”?“M”?“L”, etc . This representation method is not actual size specifications of product. Therefore, consumers should buy product base on actual size specifications of product and product identification just provide consumers reference information.
2. fiber and content
Cotton, wool, silk, and linen— Everyone is familiar with natural fibers. Polyester, acrylic fiber, polypropylene is chemical fiber. Last one or two years, underwear in particular thermal underwear emerges in large numbers such as “Modal”, “Tensilk”, “Dreamfox”, “Lycra”, and “Viloft”. “Modal”, “Tensilk”, “Dreamfox”, “Lycra”, and “Viloft” are new terms of chemical fiber. These new materials can make knitwear surface to have better lusterness and become soft. Fabric style has been greatly improved. Fabric touch and sense have also been raised. It can enhance the product ranking and product quality. Especially for superfine polypropylene fiber have good moisture transmission, perspiration. It is excellent in thermal resistance and is also very good insulating material. People feel comfortable to put it on. However, at this moment, shrinkage rate of new type of cellulose fiber or high-wet-modulus cellulose fiber is large and prevent pilling. Consumer should have enough knowledge so that you can take notice of it when you wear or wash it.
3. The choice of processing product
After being processed by trained enterprises, stitch trace of knitwear look symmetrical, clear, beautiful and even invisible and wrinkle free. Missed stitch does not happen. Before purchase, we should check carefully whether there is sewing hole along stitch trace (fiber breakage phenomena). Knitwear has high raveling property. If sewing hole appears, large hole is formed very soon. It affects its wearability. Second, bilateral symmetry of knitwear is also important. You also check whether it is consistency such as shoulder width, sleeve length, pants length on both side and check whether it is color consistency (Except special design).
4. Fabric choice
Knitted underwear is mainly constituted of fabric. For cotton yarn, greater number yarn count is, better it is (or smaller yarn number, better it is). Greater number yarn count illustrate yarn is finer and stronger silk feeling of fabric. More comfortable you put it on. It is impossible for any fabric to have very straight horizontal and vertical texture. It is the result of knitting craft. However, texture must not be too slanting. Knitted underwear with great slant angle will be deformed in shape after washing. It will become unsuitable to wear.
5. Thermal insulation property of thermal underwear
Good thermal insulation effect of thermal underwear can reduce human body heat loss under low temperature state. At the same time, it can effectively prevent cold outside air from invasion of human body. For ready-made clothes, it mainly depends on type of fiber, fabric structures and gram per square meter. Under the same conditions, fabric is made of high thermal resistance fiber has better thermal insulation effect such as cashmere, wool, superfine polypropylene fiber and cotton. However, thermal insulating effect is a comprehensive indicator. Fabric structure has great effect on thermal insulation. Thicker and fluffy knitted fabric always has better thermal insulation effect. Plenty of tiny air pocket can trap body warmth. Air pocket is very good insulator. It effectively prevent from heat exchange with the outside environment. Thus, it can achieve better thermal insulation effect.
6. You are recommended to go to large or medium-sized shopping center to buy product.
Because large shopping center builds credibility and it guarantee quality. Consumers can avoid some unnecessary troublesome. If the product quality has problems, the problem can be solved through co-ordination with mall.
7. Above description is about appearance and quality problem.
It is difficult to know intrinsic quality of products if you judge from product appearance. For example, accurate fiber content, color fading, shrinkage rate, formaldehyde content which is harmful to human health. If you find above issues after purchasing, you can reach local product quality inspection agencies to conduct test.
There is no knitted underwear standard to assess its color fasteness to sunlight so experts recommend that it is better to avoid hang up to dry under direct sunlight after washing. It is result of changing color and influences wearability.
