Why are there three different outer shell materials listed for a fleece jumper?
This question is asked when seeing the outer shell material listed in sections 1, 2, and 3 in the product information, wondering why multiple fabrics are used for a single fleece jumper.
It is because three materials—100% Polyester, Acetate, and Nylon—are divided across the outer shell, as the required function and touch differ for each part.
Three fabrics, each marked by the figure 100%, make up the outer surface. Rather than using just one fabric, this jumper from EASTLOGUE is constructed by dividing three fibers with different properties into Outer Shell 1, 2, and 3.
Looking through them in order from Outer Shell 1 to the lining: First, Outer Shell 1 is 100% Polyester[1]. Generally, fleece fabric is made from polyester with raised, fluffy nap to hold a layer of warm air. Next, Outer Shell 2 is 100% Acetate[2]. Acetate has a smooth touch and a subtle sheen, and is used to add a distinct texture to specific color contrasts or combinations on a garment. Outer Shell 3 is 100% Nylon[3]. Nylon is tough and resistant to friction, sturdily reinforcing areas that are frequently rubbed or subjected to stress in daily life.
The lining also uses 100% Nylon, the same as Outer Shell 3[4]. The smooth-surfaced nylon lining reduces friction with innerwear, helping to make putting on and taking off the garment smooth.
Exactly which parts of the jumper Outer Shell 1, 2, and 3 are applied to has not yet been confirmed from official materials.
