Hello.
This is Kimura from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time, we will introduce you to "peach skin,"a textile that is attracting attention for its soft texture and elegant feel!
What is Peach Skin?
As the name suggests, peach skin is a fabric with a texture that resembles peach skin, as it has short, thin hairs on the textile.
It has a finely brushed texture with a fuzzy feel and is soft and smooth to the touch.
This process of lightly fuzzy the surface is also called "peach processing." For this reason, many textile products have "peach ____" in their names.
In the past, peach skins were mainly made from synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, but recently, peach skin fabric made from cotton has become more textile.
When everyday ease of use and price are important, synthetic peachskin is often the choice, but when you want an item that emphasizes the texture of natural materials or when you want to create an luxurious feel, cotton peachskin may be chosen.
Manufacturing Process
Fiber Selection
We use synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, mixing them with natural materials where appropriate.
Weaving
The textile is usually manufactured in a plain or twill weave, which creates a base that is both durable and soft.
fuzzy
The woven textile is then fuzzy using a special machine, which creates a fine nap on the surface, giving it a smooth and soft feel.
Finishing
After the fuzzy is brushed, the textile goes through a finishing process and may be dyed or waterproofed.
merit
Soft to the touch
Its most distinctive feature is its smooth and soft feel, like the surface of a peach. This supple, thin peach skin is also used for loungewear.
Luxurious texture
The fine fuzzy creates a matte, soft sheen that gives synthetic fibres a uniform, refined look, while cotton has a natural, warm feel.
Lightweight (in the case of synthetic fibers)
If the textile is based on polyester or nylon, it is lightweight and easy to handle.
Durability
The synthetic fiber-based peach skin is durable and wrinkle-resistant, while cotton has moderate breathability and moisture absorption.
Disadvantages
The limits of heat retention
Because it is a soft and lightweight textile, it may lack heat retention in extremely cold environments. Neither synthetic fibers nor cotton have a high cold-weather insulation value on their own, so they need to be reinforced with lining or quilt batting.
Weight (cotton)
Cotton is slightly heavier than synthetic fibers, so synthetic fibers are best for items that require a lightweight feel.
Cost Differences
Cotton tends to be more expensive than synthetic fibers, which are relatively inexpensive and suitable for mass production, but may not be satisfying for those who prefer the texture of natural materials.
