In the fashion world, the search for fabrics for clothing that combine resistance, sustainability and versatility, in addition to comfort, is constant. Canvas cotton is an excellent choice to realise unique pieces of clothing that last over time, respecting environment.
What is Canvas cotton?
Canvas cotton is a robust and resistant, natural and breathable fabric.
- Resistant: it is realised with a dense and robust weft that makes it particularly resistant to wear and rips. Therefore, it is a very long-lasting fabric, able to resist to intensive use and frequent washing.
- Natural and sustainable: it is produced starting from cotton fibre, that is a natural and renewable resource. This distinguishes it from synthetic fabrics deriving from petroleum products. The sustainability of Canvas cotton also depends on cotton growing practices: the organic one, for example, is grown without using pesticides and chemical fertilizers, thus further reducing impact on environment.
- Breathable: cotton has an excellent capability to absorb humidity, therefore wearing breathable garments is very comfortable.
How it is used in pieces of clothing
Thanks to its characteristics, Canvas cotton is widely used to realise resistant pieces of clothing, like jackets and trousers.
It is also very appreciated for its versatility, that makes it suitable for different styles, from casual to outdoor. In fact, it is suitable for different processes and finishing, offering a wide range of creative possibilities. It can be dyed, printed and treated to obtain different textures and effects and to further increase its resistance to water and bad weather.
With Canvas cotton it is possible to play with different structured textures too, depending on how warp threads (parallel to selvages) weave themselves with those of weft (perpendicular to selvages). Each type of structured texture gives life and structure to fabric because, depending on braiding, unexpected, original and unique effects are obtained.
Therefore, the fabric for clothing Canvas 100% Cotton is an excellent choice for those who want to realise durable and versatile pieces of clothing, created with natural and sustainable raw materials. In a period in which sustainable fashion is becoming more and more important, this fabric for clothing represents a conscious and top-quality choice.
