This time, 'quality of clothes' which Mr. Reese talks about is 'durability of the fabric', and the durable fabric is the same as the one which bought it, keeping the same quality and not stretching or shrinking. about. Mr. Reese insists that even high-priced clothes do not necessarily use durable, good fabrics, so 'you need to feed your eyes through good fabrics.'
Mr. Reese explains how to identify high-quality products for six types of cotton, linen, wool, denim fabric, leather (leather) and synthetic fibers.
◆ 1. cotton
Clothing made of cotton is basically of high quality that is woven with long fibers. Long fibers are soft to the touch, and even fine fibers are dense enough to be impervious to light. Also, if the fiber is thick or has a pill, it is out of the question. According to Reese, three high quality cottons are known: Pima Cotton, Sea Island Cotton (Sea Island Cotton) and Egyptian Cotton. Reese says, 'Pimacotton, Sea Island Cotton (Sea Island Cotton), and Egyptian Cotton are famous for their high quality, so if they are used they should always have a label.'

◆ 2. linen
Reese says, 'While linen is breathable, quick-drying, has a cooling effect and is perfect for summer,' but 'it's not stretchy is a weakness.' Linen will remain creased due to its non-elasticity, and it will be felt that creases will occur in the future. Ms. Reese said, 'If you have a crease from the point of sale, or if you have made linen to make it look like' natural linen ', Mr. Reese should avoid them. It says.
◆ 3. wool
Because wool is obtained from living sheep, it is said that the physical condition of sheep is greatly related to its quality. Reese points out that if you buy woolen clothing you should first check the entire fabric and check for knots, slacks and gaps. Wool with knots, sagging and crevices seems to be low quality and will not withstand long-term use as it is derived from stress-weakened or malnourished sheep.

Wool is excellent in stretchability, so it is good to return immediately after pulling. Also, among wool, cashmere is softer than mohair, so the type of wool itself affects softness, so it seems that 'the quality can not be judged by softness.' A representative example of high quality wool is merino wool, which is characterized by its softness and fineness of fiber.
◆ 4. Denim fabric
According to Reese, he does not recommend thin and light denim, and heavy but hard denim that is washed. Denim is as important as fabric, so it is of low quality if the thread stretches when pulled along the seam. Reese says that high-quality jeans have seams called 'stitches' that are either 'chain stitches' or 'double stitches.'

Reese says, 'If you buy second-hand jeans, you should check the inner portion, which is the most rubbed and deteriorated part.'
◆ 5. Leather (leather)
Reese says that 'the leather is a material, not a fabric,' and that the drawback of leather is that a crease will remain. If you buy leather, avoid the ones that are creased and don't stick with glue, but the ones that are stitched with stitching are said to be of high quality. In addition, low-quality leather has a unique luster, so it is unusually shiny, and you should buy something soft and thin.

◆ 6 Synthetic fiber
If you ask 'synthetic', you tend to think that 'natural' is somehow better, but according to Mr. Reese, synthetic fibers also have merit. Depending on the type, synthetic fibers tend to be lightweight and have excellent stretchability and quick-drying properties, and synthetic fibers made by mixing other fabrics in small amounts often have a better fit. Among them, rayon is recommended among synthetic fibers, and its feel is soft. In particular, Modal , one of the finest in rayon, is excellent in touch and water absorbency & it is the fabric of Reiss's best to be shrunk even after washing.
According to Reise, the type of fabric itself is not superior, wool has cotton, cotton has good cotton, and there are different types of clothes that bring out the good. For example, because silk is light and thin, it is not correct to use silk for the winter coat. Mr. Reese says that if you understand the strengths and weaknesses of each fabric, you can choose the high quality one.
