Learn which kinds of clothing<\/a> materials are best with Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Some of us never look at the labels on our clothing, but we should. A piece of clothing’s material may be the most important thing about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing what different clothing fabrics do better than others can help you decide which garment to buy next time you shop. There are a few things you should know about the main kinds of clothing fabrics and what they do best.<\/p>\n\n\n

Crease-Resistant Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Some fabric types resist creasing and wrinkling better than others. This is especially useful if you’re traveling and have to pack your clothes in a suitcase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synthetic, shiny fabrics like polyester and spandex do this very well. Satin and silk fabric are also known to be wrinkle-free. As a general rule, a shiny clothing fabric will not wrinkle or crease as easily as a non-shiny one.<\/p>\n\n\n

Durable Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Workwear<\/a> needs to be durable. That’s why it’s usually made of a cotton and polyester blend. Polyester is very strong, and cotton fabric is more breathable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you work in the automotive industry, make sure your work clothes are made of a fabric blend that’s high in polyester. It’s one of the materials that is acid-proof. This will prevent holes from battery acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you work near fire, you may want to get clothing made of flame-retardant fabric<\/a>. If you do, look for fabric that’s inherently flame-resistant. These are fabrics with fibers made of material that doesn’t burn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are fabrics available that have been treated with flame-retardant chemicals. But the chemicals can wear or wash off over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clothes that are inherently flame resistant usually claim a “flame-resistant” (FR) knit or weave. Flame-resistant clothes are great for welding or brush burning.<\/p>\n\n\n

Breathable Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Breathability is very important in all types of clothing, but especially in outdoor clothes. Cotton is a common clothing material that’s very breathable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For warm weather, look for clothes that are 100% cotton to keep you cool, dry, and comfortable. Most athletic clothing is made from cotton blended with other fabrics for stretch and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n

Clothes for All Jobs and Occasions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

The main thing to keep in mind when you’re looking at different clothes is the activity you plan to do in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you spend a lot of time fishing or boating, look for clothes made of waterproof fabric<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re just looking for something to keep you dry when walking or standing in the rain, an inexpensive, coated water-proof garment is fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you’re biking, running, or doing another strenuous activity in the rain, you’ll want clothes with a membrane like Gortex. This will make the clothes waterproof and very breathable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you need workwear for when you’re on the job, sportswear for a family camping adventure, or just some new clothes for the kids<\/a>, Blain’s Farm & Fleet has all the high quality clothing you need from top brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
