olyester fabric: the ideal choice for business jackets?
In today's global fashion market, business jackets are a must-have item in the wardrobe of professionals. The choice of fabric plays a decisive role in maintaining quality, comfort and appearance. Polyester fabric, as a widely used synthetic fiber, has shown unique advantages in the field of jacket making, making it one of the popular options for making business jackets. This article will explore the characteristics of polyester fabrics in depth, analyze why it is suitable for making business jackets, and its potential and advantages in the international wholesale procurement market.
1. Characteristics of polyester fabrics
(I) High strength, wear resistance and durability
Polyester fibers have high strength, with a short fiber strength of 2.6-5.7cN/dtex and a high-strength fiber strength of 5.6-8.0cN/dtex. The wet strength is basically the same as the dry strength. This high strength enables jackets made of polyester fabrics to withstand various frictions and stretching in daily wear, and is not prone to damage, which greatly extends the service life of the jacket. For buyers and their customer groups who often need to travel and participate in various business activities, a durable business jacket is undoubtedly an ideal choice, because it can reduce the frequency of frequent replacement of new clothes and has a high cost-effectiveness.
(ii) Good elasticity and wrinkle-resistant
Polyester has an elasticity close to that of wool, and can almost be completely restored when stretched by 5% to 6%. This means that business jackets made of polyester fabrics can maintain a good shape during wear and are not easy to wrinkle. Even during long business trips or continuous meetings, they can always maintain a crisp and stylish appearance without frequent ironing, which provides great convenience for the wearer. In contrast, some natural fiber fabrics such as cotton or linen fabrics are prone to wrinkles after wearing for a period of time and need to be taken care of frequently, which may not be very practical for busy business people.
(iii) Good dimensional stability
Polyester fabrics have good dimensional stability and are not easy to deform during wear and washing. This is very important for business jackets because business people usually have high requirements for the fit of clothing to ensure a professional and decent image in various formal occasions. If the size of the jacket is unstable, it may shrink or deform after several washes, affecting the wearing effect and aesthetics, while polyester fabrics can avoid this problem well.
(IV) Excellent heat resistance
Polyester is one of the most heat-resistant fabrics among synthetic fabrics. Its melting point is around 260℃ and the ironing temperature can be 180℃. This means that during normal wearing and care, such as ironing with an iron, polyester fabrics can withstand higher temperatures without damage, thereby maintaining the good appearance of the jacket. In addition, polyester is also thermoplastic, and special processing technology can be used to make clothing with special pleated effects such as pleated skirts. For some business jacket styles that pursue fashion and design, this feature also provides more design possibilities.
(V) Good light resistance and chemical resistance
Polyester has good light resistance. Except for being slightly worse than acrylic, its light resistance is better than many natural fiber fabrics, especially behind glass. In business activities, people often need to be outdoors or work in a brightly lit environment. Jackets made of polyester fabrics can resist ultraviolet radiation, are not prone to fading, and maintain the brightness and durability of the color. At the same time, polyester fabrics also have good chemical resistance. General acids, alkalis and other chemicals have little damage to them, and they are not afraid of mold and insects. This makes the jackets easier to maintain during storage and daily use, reducing the need for replacement due to fabric damage.
2. Advantages of polyester fabrics in the production of business jackets

5. Strategies to deal with the limitations of polyester fabrics
(I) Improving the problem of poor hygroscopicity
Although polyester fabrics perform well in terms of strength and wear resistance, they have low hygroscopicity and may cause stuffiness when worn, especially in hot or humid environments, affecting the comfort of wearing. In order to overcome this limitation, the following strategies can be adopted: First, polyester blended fabrics can be made by blending with natural fibers such as cotton and linen. For example, polyester-cotton blended fabrics combine the strength of polyester and the hygroscopicity of cotton to a certain extent, which not only improves the comfort of the fabric, but also retains the characteristics of polyester fabric such as stiffness and easy care. Second, the polyester fabric is subjected to special moisture absorption and perspiration finishing, so that it can quickly conduct the sweat on the surface of the human skin to the outer layer of the fabric and evaporate it, thereby keeping the skin dry and comfortable. At present, there are many moisture absorption and perspiration finishing agents and processing technologies specifically for polyester fabrics available on the market. After finishing, polyester fabric jackets can still provide a comfortable wearing experience for the wearer in the case of sweating a lot during exercise or long-term work.
(II) Reduce static electricity
Polyester fabrics are prone to static electricity, which leads to problems such as dust absorption, aesthetics, and discomfort during wearing. In order to solve the problem of static electricity, the following measures can be taken: First, antistatic agents are added during the fabric production process. These antistatic agents can form a conductive film on the surface of polyester fibers, so that static electricity can be released in time and reduce the accumulation of static electricity. Secondly, in the process of clothing production, some design details can be used to reduce the impact of static electricity on the wearer, such as using conductive yarn or fabric on the lining or collar of the jacket, or performing special anti-static treatment on metal accessories such as zippers. In addition, wearers can also reduce static electricity through some simple care methods in daily life, such as using wooden or bamboo hangers to hang jackets and avoid excessive friction with chemical fiber items.
(III) Improve the skin-friendliness of fabrics
For some consumers who are more sensitive to the skin, the smooth surface of polyester fabrics may cause skin discomfort or allergic reactions. In order to improve the skin-friendliness of polyester fabrics, mercerization treatment, microcapsule technology, etc. can be used for finishing of fabrics. Mercerization treatment can make the surface of polyester fabrics smoother and softer, reducing friction stimulation to the skin; microcapsule technology can form a protective film on the surface of the fabric, encapsulating some microcapsules with skin-friendly, moisturizing, antibacterial and other functions. When the fabric comes into contact with the skin, the microcapsules will slowly release the active ingredients to provide additional care for the skin, thereby improving the comfort and health of wearing.
