How is Lycra, mentioned in the material description, different from span?
Lycra is listed in the jacket's blend ratio while the description says span, prompting a desire to check the difference and roles of the two names.
Lycra is a representative brand name for spandex, an elastic fiber, and it plays a role in adding elasticity to wool fabric so that the garment stretches comfortably during movement.
SPANDEX is a generic term for synthetic fibers that stretch elastically like rubber, and LYCRA is a widely known proprietary brand name among them. Referring to it as span in the description and listing Lycra in the blend ratio ultimately means the same elastic fiber was used.
ALLENO used domestic wool fabric together with span in the signature 4-button jacket[1]. The composition ratio consists of 97% wool and 3% Lycra[2]. It has a thin thickness and comes with a lining, and its stretchiness is guided as slightly present[3].
Wool holds its shape neatly, but has little elasticity, making it easy to pull tightly when moving your body significantly. Blending around 3% Lycra into wool fabric allows it to stretch flexibly in accordance with the movement of your shoulders and arms, without compromising the neat texture of natural wool. hmmm, it is a considerate touch intended to maintain a neat exterior while easing the tension felt by the body.
The detailed yarn count or weaving method of the domestic wool fabric used in this jacket could not yet be confirmed from official materials.
