Do you care what clothes you wear are made? Of course you do, but most of us think of these materials in two sizes simple, natural and synthetic fibers and man. As always, life is much more complicated than that and worthy of further explanation.

The Naturals' ... wool, cotton and silk ... are preferred by many of us, but if most of the materials are classified according to the source, many synthetic materials are also called derivatives of natural products. Thus, there are natural fibers of animal origin such as wool from sheep and lambs, mohair and cashmere from goats, rabbits, angora and silk from silkworms. Others are of plant origin such as cotton and flax, and more are derived from minerals. So far so good, but if we turn to synthetic fibers commonly known, we find many that are actually made from natural materials, mainly wood and pulp plant or cotton lint. The most common example of this form of rayon fiber.

In contrast, man-made fibers are produced by the polymerization of synthetic chemicals which typical examples are nylon and polyester. Polyesters were initially developed in 1941 by chemists at the Calico Printers Association in the United Kingdom and have been commercially available since 1953.

Finally, there are combinations of fabric where the fibers of different origins are working together to provide blends such as linen, silk and wool fibers with non-natural or manmade-mades.

In many ways this is how the market expects the fabric most of us.

However, a challenge for non-specialists is the proliferation of names that are familiar to us, modal and elastin to name but two, in addition to human meaning and synthesis, where conditions seem be interchangeable at times and leave us uncertain about the relative value or cost of each.

"Synthetic" a materials scientist: the combination of several elements to form a whole, but most of us to "artificial" means, but much less artificial and synthetic. There is no doubt that it must be a much more accurate index of terms. Take "Micro Modal, for example, that almost sounds scientific, industrial and probably not the kind of thing we should bring to the skin. In fact, this fabric is made from plants and pulp beechwood is spun. The apparel industry he loves because it is light, smooth and soft and feels like silk. It does not produce electrostatic shrinkage is very practical and hangs well when worn.

So where does this save natural fibers? all natural fibers and organic merely dictates the nature and, of course, the more we improve and change or add to their characteristics, the most expensive they become, the less we, the customers are willing to pay the price. It is interesting to consider three specific examples. Tussah silk from wild silkworms in India and China where the worms are fed with oak leaves to produce a golden color. Sea Island cotton is the most beautiful of all cotton, very white and feels like silk. Before the Civil War, this type of cotton grown in the islands of the Carolinas and Georgia, but now he is originally from Mexico and Central America and is treated to control the market for cotton dress most respected men and shirts. Class wool and wool is the most respected, the fiber relatively short, strong, beautiful and resilient, comes from the merino wool provides superior warmth and spinning properties.

Designers and manufacturers are constantly trying to do their work clothes and best behavior. The ideal is a fabric that is soft yet holds its shape well and can hang out a washing machine looking like new. This can be found in natural materials that have been improved so that they are better to work with.
